mordroc Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hello. I've found that when I add more roms to a folder (such as "arcade"), when it searches it also finds the rom files I already have in the folder. Then, when the import is done I end up with duplicate game titles in my arcade list. I will note that "Force Import Duplicate Games that Already Exist in Your Collection" is turned OFF. Even with it off, it's still re-adding any roms I've already imported. Thanks for any advice to fix, or if this is a bug, just let me know. I'm testing all this on my NVidia Shield TV, model P2897, Version 9. Otherwise great to have this for Android again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Thanks @mordroc; I will investigate this on Monday and see if I can replicate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Importing additional games, even with the duplicate games switch set to off, still has duplicate items show up for the previously added items. It seems to just blindly just add any games that it can find whether or not they already existed. I also tried to export 2 games from my arcade directory to Android, The prompts stated that it was setting up an export structure for 2 games. However, it essentially copied my entire MAME rom folder to this new temp/Android Export folder. Shouldn't it just copy the two games that were selected as previously indicated? That is around 65-70GB of extra space used for no reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickK75 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 I have this issue too. Full MAME set imported. Everything duplicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Apologies guys, this apparently slipped through the radar. It is still on my list though, so I'll get to a fix for it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickK75 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I deleted all my XML relating to arcades and reimported which fixed it. It seems the issue was my initial 100-title-limit import followed by another import after I installed my license caused the issue. I saw the game entries all duplicated in the XML. Before I deleted the XML I did another import which as expected led to triple entries for every game. So I guess it's importer which doesn't properly check for existing entries and just adds regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 This should be fixed in the LaunchBox for Android 1.1-beta-11 release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
