Metadata update does not include controllers on platforms with non-standard names (ver 11.12)

Hi, guys!

 

I don't know if this is a problem or is on purpose, but when updating metadata, the controller support only updates when the platform name is exactly the same as the default LaunchBox internal name. For example, if I have a platform named 2600, even though the Scrap As option is set to Atari 2600, the metadata update does not add information about controller support. I did some tests by adding new controllers manually and also associating the platform with the controller. Even so, the information is not updated. On the other hand, if the platform name is changed to Atari 2600, the information is updated. I guess the correct thing would be to update based on the Scrape As option, wouldn't be?

 

Thanks! All the best,

gboava

I'll take a look at the code and see if I can replicate your findings. The included metadata should apply to platforms with a scape as assigned and the name of the platform should have no bearing on whether any manually added information you input saves.
