xevious1974 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Hi all, I am quite new here and I am enjoying very much my Launchbox-Bigbox. I dont like to add thousand of roms, because I like to play what I add. So I take care of my few roms, adding missing cover, missing comment, missing video and so on. But I think that what I am slowly adding can be useful in the future for others. So, where to add my works? The download section seems to contain packs, and not singular media. Moreover Launchbox database is not updated with all games. How can I help to update the missing text, games or other? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Click the GamesDB in the header of this page sign up and start contributing make sure you read the guide lines and if you have any questions you can ask in the DB section of the forum or join the LB Discord server and there is a DB section there also.

neil9000 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Discord is a text and voice program, it is mostly used by gamers to chat during games, but it can be used by anyone for anything. Launchbox has a official channel there with main channel, support channel, database channel etc. Here is the link to it. As for uploading to the database, you could use this Launchbox plugin which automates uploading your data for specifics games to the database, just drop it in the plugin folder then you can right click a game and choose upload to datatbase. The data will still have to be looked over by our moderators before it is approved but would be quicker than adding images and info one by one.

xevious1974 Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Thank you for your reply! Seems that this plugin is more easy to use. So I can update the games with the missing media and then send them to games DB. I read that I can update metadata, like overview field. I am italian, so I'll probably change some overview to my language, copying from some magazine like Zzap! ...the question is "I do some damage if I update data changing language?" For example, I have Slimey's Mine (C64), I have the original cassette. So I can make some real scan and then add a review in italian. In gameDB this game there is not. So when I update it...I update in italian, but here all people speak in english... (I have submitted it in english for all, it's only an example for now) sorry my bad english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Yeah the game description would have to be in English I'm afraid, the reason for this is a lot of other language speakers also usually speak a little English, as well as there native language. Where as if it was in Italian only Italians or Italian speakers would be able to read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xevious1974 Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Yes yes, no problem. I was only worried to not make some chaos in DB Anyway, thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
