PlaidIgloo Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Hello everyone! LaunchBox is using the Japanese ROM for some of my games, for example Wonder Boy in Monster Land. I know I have all variants of the rom but not sure how to default Launchbox to use the english one. My sets are Merged. Is there a way to get Launchbox to use specific roms or even bootlegs that I want it to use? Please help. Thanks! Quote
PlaidIgloo Posted February 18, 2017 Author Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Figured it out Apparently I did not have the English bootleg. pointed Launchbox in the right direction and I got it working. Should I have imported it into Launchbox instead of just changing the ROM path though? Edited February 18, 2017 by PlaidIgloo Quote
DOS76 Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 No it won't get you anything different than setting it up manually 1 Quote
PlaidIgloo Posted February 18, 2017 Author Posted February 18, 2017 Thanks for the reply. just noticed another game that is missing the English version, Double Dragon. I think I somehow got rid of my bootlegs when I scanned/rebuilt my merged set using CLRmamepro Quote
SentaiBrad Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 If you're using a Merged Arcade set, that's why it's not assigning the proper region. Merged doesn't work well at all when importing in to LB. You'll need split or non-merged only (non-merged for .182 since split for .182 seems broken, but split for .174-.181 works). 1 Quote
PlaidIgloo Posted February 18, 2017 Author Posted February 18, 2017 I think i'll need to rebuild my .177 mame set into a split set and start from scratch with my LB build. Quote

I ran CLRmamepro's un-merge feature to split my Merged .177 set as suggested. I imported my games prioritizing North American ROMS, waited 12Hrs for all the artwork and metadata to update. I'm now missing particular roms (Double Dragon for example) in launchBox but have the SNK fighting game "Double Dragon". I checked the set for the North American rom ddragonu.7z and its in the set but did not import. Did I need to import Bootlegs as well? any suggestions? When I imported my merged set previously it did import double dragon, only that it was the Japanese ver. of the rom and the art work was incorrect, this was easily fixed though. Thanks!
