First thanks to bring launchbox back to android. I'm still new to launchbox and just installed it on m y android tablet. I was trying to import my games from my pc so first I just export one NeoGeo game to try it out, but when I tried to import and I selected the directory where I export the game launchbox said 0 games selected then it started importing what look like all NeoGeo metadata. After it finish importing all the NeoGeo metadata it restarted and now it keep telling me i have more that 100 games limit for the free version. How can I remove all data on launchbox and just import the games/data that I need? thanks again

Hi @J2chulo, are you looking to remove all games on Android? Or the desktop?

Just the data and files launchbox imported from mame server. I deleted by deleting the entire platform but I will like to have an option to clear data/metadata just like in the window version. the problem is when you are importing game if you leave the button on to import from mame it will import the entire mame list for game that you don't even have. and this will make your launchbox think you have all those game. Also download unnesesary files and including images xml etc to you device.

So I think you mean deleting the games on your Android device.

MAME is very complicated, and unless you really know what you're doing, you generally can't and shouldn't use a partial MAME set that doesn't include the full set of games. That said, there is an option with the MAME importer to specify that you're not importing a full set.

I'm not importing mame game. well let me rephrase that. I'm using FinalBurn Neo for my neogeo roms and all I want to do it just importing few games including arts and images. but if I leave the button check for importing metadata from mame while importing the neogeo games it will import all neogeo games metadata and images and I don't want that.

You might still just need to uncheck the box that asks whether you're importing a full set.

yeah I think that was the problem when I unchecked the download from mame it worked fine. If I leave the check on download from mame list or something like that it will download the entire mame roms list
