lepactedesloups Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hello! I am having some difficulty importing my Sega Game Gear roms into Launchbox. I have lot of other platforms imported and they worked great - the system scraped the box art, manuals, sshots, movies, etc. For some reason, not a single one of the Game Gear roms comes into Launchbox with any data - they're all "blank" with no art, no data, etc. The ROMs are all in ",gg" format and named normally. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong in this instance. I am picking the "Sega Game Gear" platform on the import. Does this mean all the ROM files are bad? Very confused. Any help is appreciated!

DOS76 Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 don't know what has happened here but that is not a typical result as there is definitely GG data on the GamesDB and it should import properly. I would try deleting all the games from LB and reimporting them making sure you don't uncheck any thing that needs to be checked during the import and see if you get the same results. It does not mean your roms are bad at all as if you had a bunch of txt files named right it should still pull the data for them if you tried to import them.

lepactedesloups Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 I finally figured it out. The naming on the files was "Game Name #GG.GG" Having the "#GG" before the extension made it unidentifiable by Launchbox. Did a bulk rename and presto! Should have experimented more before I panic-posted. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
