problem with mame game rom names

Hi all, i am new to lauchbox ( having previously used hyperspin), and have tinkered around a little bit, but finally decided to get my arcade cabinet up and running again. To the problem.. i scraped all of my games for artwork, vids, ect, and now when launching some games, i get a flash of a black screen, but no launch. after some digging, i noticed the name of the file in the info window did not match my rom names. example : launchbox says the file name is " 1942u.zip" but in the folder it is actually just "1942.zip". games that the rom names match launch fine. so i manually changed the info on the launchbox side to match the folder and poof, it works now. i do not want to have to go through 2k plus games to solve this, any ideas?
