MadK9 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Yep Neils having the exact same issue, just mine got hit a lot harder with a lot more roms not adding. To get round it i just imported the exact same roms just didn't use the default name. And every game installed fine and i had it set to scrape as Snes, Quote
neil9000 Posted January 21, 2020 Author Posted January 21, 2020 And here is the xml for importing exactly the same files but with platform name as "SNES", F-Zero as well as the others in that one just fine. SNES.xml Quote
C-Beats Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I have found out what is going on. This is being caused by the fact you are importing with the "Force Duplicate" option turned off and have a platform who's "Scrape As" name is the same name as the platform you are pulling games into. The importer is seeing a game by the same title in that other platform and saying, HEY ITS GOT THE SAME NAME AS A PLATFORM PRETENDING TO BE THIS ONE (or something similar) and ignoring the title. For now either removing the "Scrape As" information in the other platforms or checking the "Force Duplicate" option during the import should correct this. We will look into altering the code so that it will only check for other titles already in the EXACT platform you are importing games into it and will update the post when it makes it into a push. 1 1 Quote
MadK9 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Thanks for your time @C-Beats & @Jason Carr, im glad a solution may have been found. When Neil mentioned this, i recall one of the other platforms for me at least was Sega Megadrive/Genesis as i have these as seperate systems. Makes a lot of sense now. Thanks again, glad to know it wasn't me going mad... Quote

neil9000 Posted January 21, 2020 Author Posted January 21, 2020 OK to update, i have just imported snes again (gotta be at least a dozen times i have done it today ) using the default name and checking the "force import duplicates" checkbox in the import wizard. All roms imported just fine this time. So @C-Beats i think you are onto the solution and i look forward to the fix. Thanks for troubleshooting through this with me. Quote
