Open specific region version of ROM from archive by default?

[HTPCei]

A lot of my ROMs are zip files, containing different region versions of each game. Recently I've noticed Launchbox/Retroarch seems to be picking a random region each time it launches, rather than following the region priorities I specified in Launchbox Settings.

Do I need to Re-import my ROMs? Or does anyone know of anything else I could try first?

You shouldnt have different region roms inside of a single archive. Launchbox has no idea what is in the archive as its the zip you imported, not the contents of it. Also i have never seen romsets that actually come that way, so thats a new one on me.

Thanks for the swift response, and for confirming what I was dreading, now I just need to check my whole library again haha

So, if I unzipped all the archives containing multiple regions, then zipped them all separately to save space; will Launchbox import each ROM as a separate game listing? Or should it then import just 1 game, choosing the Region based on my specifications? Thanks again

If you import them all and have the combine games optioned checked in the import wizard it will group them together under one game. Then you can right click and choose a version that you want to start

Thought that was the case, I'm just a bit rusty on the details with this stuff... Many thanks guys, I'm off to sort out my Library again...
