If in LB what Image Group view do you have you NES platform set to? At the top right of LB is an "Image Group" option. Make sure it is set to the art you are using. I would also select all the games in the NES platform then Right Click and choose "Refresh All Images" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avendosora Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 nothing shows up in both versions. ive tried every view option. only three games show up oddly. its driving me mad it SHOULD work. when it goes to download the covers i runs thorugh all the games and takes AWHILE but then at the end it says zero imported i CNTL A over a missing game that highlights ALL the nes games. and then go to tools download meta data and media and nothing works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Launchbox cant identify them then it cant get images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avendosora Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 oh so just delete that part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 Just now, Avendosora said: oh so just delete that part? Yes, remove that from the files, Launchbox thinks that is in the game name, so cant match them to actual games as they dont exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might find the roms in the zips are actually named correctly if you extract them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to change the name for all the roms in windows, then when they are fixed delete the platform and import it again with the correctly named games.

As i said, have a look in the zip, they may be right in there, if so just extract them and import the actual roms, not the zips. You are not saving any space keeping them zipped.
