If you just want to import games quickly uncheck all the media during the import wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So LB checked each rom file / game title against the entire games database, rather than a subset. It also pays to uncheck the "Remove roughly-matched duplicate images" setting, even if no media is selected. With no media downloads or checks, imports of 500+ roms take 2-3 seconds.

neil9000 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Uncheck the "remove roughly matched images" option in the import wizard. A platform import without media will take seconds to import, not minutes or hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Also i should note that in the latest betas that the import system has been changed, now roms are imported immediately and the media is then queued up for after the actual roms are in Launchbox.
