SkyHighGam3r Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Example Scenario: I'm importing Sega CD games. One of these games is Blackhole Assault. This attaches LB ID #19298, which in turn leads to this entry in the Games DB - https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/18698 As you can see in the DB entry, there are box-front entries for North America, Europe, and Japan. However, it only pulled in the Japanese box-art. Ok, easy enough to fix. I opened Edit>Images>Download Media. Except now it shows "Box - Front (1)" and not "3". I thought, something must be miscategorized, so I downloaded everything available... but it still didn't give me the PAL or USA boxes... This has happened with several games over the last few days. What am I doing wrong? EDIT: Is there a way to just manually retrieve images from the Games DB site? I can't believe I can't just right-click and save image as.

Is the rom itself the Japanese version? I have the US rom and have both the US and Japanese/European boxes in my Launchbox. 17 minutes ago, SkyHighGam3r said: EDIT: Is there a way to just manually retrieve images from the Games DB site?

SkyHighGam3r Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 It's the US version, but in either case it's the same name, so I'm not sure how it would differentiate. I can only seem to "Save as" the small thumbnail, not the full resolution image. I can't get it to even show me the full res image in the browser.

SkyHighGam3r Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Ok, so I think I figured it out, but I don't understand the 'why'. Like, half my Sega CD games are pulling in PAL art, and not giving me USA art. I seem to have to select the North American Alternate name, change the region to North America, then save the edits - and THEN it will pull in the correct art. Is there no way to just make it pull in everything? I'd honestly rather have everything than have to 1-by-1 grab the correct thing.
