Missing titles

[pholdsworthuk]

I've added Genesis games through Retroarch, but specifically Thunder force IV is missing. Thunder Force III and II are present.

I've tried adding it individually and it appears in the list, it says that the game has been added, but it does not show in the menu. (I'm sure there must be many other missing games also)

I've looked at the Sega Genesis.XML file and there is an entry for the Thunder Force IV, but it is not playable from the menu.

I cannot understand why this game is excluded from the menu list? Is it because there was no North American release of this title?

It does have an American title, Lightening Force. It's probably been imported under that name.

You're correct, it is there under that title. Thank you.

I'm still not sure why certain titles won't display though, it makes no sense.
