BigBox uses wrong emulator

Hi,

I have two sets of neo geo games, one coming from mame and under Arcade and another one imported from another folder with only neo geo stuff imported as a set called Neo Geo MVS. I've done this because the Arcade set is emulated by mame, the other are emulated by retroarch with fba core and overclocked cpu. I've done this to play that neo geo games that have huge slowdowns (ie metal slug 2) at full speed. Obviosuly for the Neo Geo MVS games I've configured as emulator retor arch, and also this has the platform Neo Geo MVS, to launch them with the correct core. Also by launching them from launchbox or launchbox next everything work. But if I start them from BigBox mame is instead used. Are launchbox keeping sperate config for BigBox and ther other versions? in this case how can I modify the BigBox config of this set?

BigBox uses all the same files as Launchbox and Launchbox Next.

Maybe you have 2 separate installs of Launchbox and you are confusing the 2 setups ?

nope, for sure I have only one installation. Maybe it is a bug? I've recorded this screencast showing the configuration in launchbox and lb next and showing also that bigbox is using mame.

I noticed in the video you do have the SNK classics which is a auto generated playlist which so is NeoGeo MVS

SNK Classic is autogenerated but Neo Geo MVS is not, wasn't here before and was added only when I reimported the neogeo set. Also as you can see the neo geo mvs set in launchbox and LB uses the correct emulator, only in big box there is the problem. My idea is that I took the name lb uses for the autogenerated neo geo (Neo Geo MVS) and in bigbox it is binded in an arcoded way to Arcade. I will try to do the same procedure with a for sure custom set name, like Neo Geo Overclocked and look if the problem is the same.

What is weird is that it wouldn't make it as a Playlist as myself and another mod I was talking to both have autogenerated playlist for that platform. If you switch you view from platform to Playlist are you sure it doesn't show up there?

Are you positive you do not have 2 playlists/platforms using the same clear logo in bigbox? maybe one on its own and another under the arcade section?

I think I got what was happening. From the video I recorded you can see there is only one Neo Geo MVS entry in every view but when I deleted it in the launchbox ui I found another one that was probably generated from the mame set and I didn't noticed before. Essentially when I have imported a second set of roms with the same name of an existing set this new set hidden the original one in LB e LB next. But in big box was the original set that hidden the new one. Don't know if this is a bug, for sure I was made something strange but I think that hiding one or the other depending on the version of LB/BB is confusing, the set should be merged o displayed twice (evend with the same name), or even just display a warning to make the situation more clear.

However in the end is resolved deleting the set I imported in LB (so the last one, not the one from mame) and reimporting it with totally a new name (Neo Geo Overclocked) and doing this everything work. I have just a question, when I go in manage platforms now I see my new platform (Neo Geo Overclocked), the scrape as combo value is used only for scraping and not for other king of aggregation at UI level right? I'm asking because I'm using the UI in italian and since in Italian there is not a direct translation for "scraping" in this context, the translated word in my UI is a bit generic (just to give you an idea translating it back from italian to english it can be done as "bind to").
