ejay81 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Hi All, Hoping someone has some input to provide here as I'm lost. I'm trying to add TurboGrafx CD (pcengine cd) into launchbox as a platform. When going through teh import roms wizard I point to the directory that has the .CHD roms for this platform and it comes back with nothign to import ( i have about 30 games). I if I load the core and content manually through RA the games play fine. Any idea why LB isn't finding these roms in this folder? There are no sub directories..

C-Beats Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Typically if the roms are listed on the last page it's because they are already imported. If you check the "Force import duplicate roms" checkbox in the options page and they suddenly appear in the import list then the games have already been imported.

ejay81 Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) I got this to work by checking "Force Duplicate Names" in the import tool. But no idea where those were originally imported.. Edited January 18, 2022 by ejay81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejay81 Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Looks LIke Atari 5200 has all the same games I was importing for TGfx CD. *Update* No idea why when searching Buster Bros. under console it showed up for both TGCD and Atari 5200. When looking in my atari 5200 rom folder none of those TGCD games are there. I just deleted Atari 5200 and reimported those roms and all is cleaned up now. Something odd happened.

That feature only looks in the platform you are importing when comparing names. It will only look in your entire collection when seeing if the exact file has already been imported or not.

neil9000 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Could it be that you already added that platform, and then hid games missing specific media types, resulting in the whole platform hiding as you didn't actually download that media type, like game videos for example?
