drunkwithpower Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 I have discovered that every time I import an entire folder of ROMS (via Tools > Import > ROMS) the game titles default to the ROM name. I don't know any way to correct this other than manually editing each game. If I import each ROM separately (by file instead of folder), the titles are correct. Anyone else have this issue? Anyone know how i can correct this? Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeran Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hi @drunkwithpower. Which platforms were you trying to import, and what are some examples of your ROM file names? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Examples - digdug.zip, dking,zip, gng.zip, gorf.zip, tempest.zip, etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a selection of MAME roms, then yes use the standard rom importer, but on the last page of the wizard check the box to "Use MAME metadata for systems other than MAME that use MAME naming" or phrasing to that effect. Currently the way you are doing it we do not know the actual game name as the zip name is not the actual game name in most cases, that checkbox will let Launchbox know that it needs to use the MAME naming method. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solved! I followed your suggestion and the game titles are correct now. Thank you!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
