legolas119 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) HI I have updated my MAME fullset in LB in this way: 1) in LB: Help --> forse Update games Metadata 2) then I deleted all the MAME games (CTRL+A and delete) but I don't delete the Platform 3) I performed a full import MAME process, unckecking both "download images from database" and "download media from emumovies". And checking only "remove for duplicate media" But I have 2 issues: 1) every playlist isn't created under MAME, it is created in the root so I have to manually modified them all Is it possible, during the import process, to automatically move the playlist under "MAME"? 2) my previous gamelist had 2942 game, and now 2918. It's strange, for sure something isn't correct in the process, for sure the roms count has to increase, not decrease... can you help me? thank you Edited August 8, 2020 by legolas119 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, games can regress in new versions, they may make improvements to the emulation, but that may temporarily break previously working games. Also the region you specify during the import can also effect how many games are imported. I choose the "World" region in the wizard and i have 2852 games imported. Also you dont need to remove games when updating MAME, just run the import wizard again pointing to your new romset, thats all that is needed.

legolas119 Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 ah, in an old post someone suggest to remove also the platform MAME and re-import all... I have just deleted the platform in order to reimport it (without media, of course!) and all the playlist are still here, in the root, even if I have deleted the MAME platform which included every playlist... Before to launch again the full import MAME process, is it better to delete every playlist? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close Launchbox and go to Launchbox/Data/Playlists and delete all the playlists there (or just the Arcade ones if you have other playlists). I would guess the playlists appearing in root like that is associated with the way you deleted all the games and not the platform. As i said just rerun the import pointing at the new roms, Launchbox will read the new MAME metadata downloaded to add anything that is new (or remove anything that has now been marked as broken) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also leave them here, but the problem is that even if I re-import the fullset, LB will not automatically create them insime MAME platform... This is my playlist list in Launchbox/data/playlist (here are also present the FBA playlist, but it is not related to this topic): is it better to delete everything before to import again the fullset? Am I sure that LB will create again every playlist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legolas119 Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) i imported the fullset, just unpiking "skip mature": Again, 2918 games. So probably you have leave selected this options and for this reason you have 2852 games. I selected Regon = World like you. So probably they removed games from 0.221 and the roms count is decreased.
