Lot of Arcade Games should also be in the own System like Sega Model 2, 3 and so on

[Chris Kant]

Dear all,

I am working now on my arcade games and found out that Systems like Sega ST-V, Hikaru, Model 2 and 3 etc have their own system registered but the Games are only found under Arcade.

 

So does it make sense that all the Games should also placed in the own specific system or should all be placed under Arcade AND the other systems should get rid of. In that case I could build my system and "link" it to the Arcade.

are there future plans? then I would start also with setting the games up under their own systems. This is a bit easier thanks to the great plug in

It has been decided previously that all Arcade games would be lumped into arcade

[Chris Kant]

So the other systems should be deleted in the database, right?

I believe there has been talk of that but I'm not sure what is happening about it.

how can we proceed the next steps? how should we contact then? @Jason Carr

 

But how can I add the System like Sammy Atomiswave which should then scraped it as Arcade? There is no chance to choose it during the import process.

Choose Sammy Atomiswave like you have in your screenshot, then on the final wizard screen check the box to force using mame metadata.

Thank you for the help. In this case Launchbox found less games than in the normal way without Mame

 

and are the Mame meta data the answer to all arcade games? Even like Sega Triforce and so one?
