Dizzie Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Lightspeed was able to import everything into 1 section, but I read it isn't supported anymore on the current launchbox version. I imported my Mame collection into LB, but it is generating all kind platform sections, even messing up my already existing snes section. I just want mame to be in one section, arcade, nothing else. Is this possible? To me it is currently messing/cluttering up the LB interface with more than 20 platforms, wanting me to not use mame anymore.

neil9000 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Hi and welcome, there is a checkbox on the last screen of the MAME importer on the same screen where you can choose to import clones and such,, its at the bottom and says something like "create playlists for MAME platform" just uncheck it.

Dizzie Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) Thanks, I think I already played around with this, but I installed the beta now, removed existing 20+ folders (hope I do not have to rescrape everything) and will start from fresh. Skip clones, and prioritize this region: Europe Uncomment: Create Playlists for MAME Subcategories. Here we go Edited March 11, 2018 by Dizzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Those extra platforms you are getting are actually playlists not Platforms, so they pull all there images and videos from the respective Arcade Platform folders, so unless you deleted that they should all re-attach when you import.

Dizzie Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 It still creates the extra playlists, even though it was unchecked with import. Although about half of what it does when it is marked. However, because I started from fresh, It was now easy to delete all playlists without removing games. And indeed, all cover art/video's are still here (thank god).
