Use media from batocera

Recommended Posts

I'm a previous batocera user who jumped ship due to lack of support looking to setup Launchbox. Question regarding game media; ie videos, manuals, and images. Batocera uses the scraper 'Screenscraper ' which gets manuals and videos with a free account...  What do I need to do to get my media I scraped from batocera in launchbox? I'm looking a way to batch process this as i'm upwords of 4,000 roms and not looking to do this individually.

Pretty sure Batocera uses media with the same name as the rom file. If this is true you just drag the image to the appropriate folder inside of \\LaunchBox\Images\{PlatformName}\ and it should see them automatically and use them. You'll want to do it with LaunchBox closed though

yes, this appears to work for images. However, i can't get manuals or videos to add for the life of me. only way i've found to get them to add is 1 by 1 editing the game.

Launchbox does require a premium license in order to play videos, do you in fact have one?

yea I bought the year one to try launchbox and give it fair comparison using all its features. But I just realized batocera puts a '-video' and -manual' tag in the file names. Once removed they imported with no issue.  

Another question, if the default scrapper doesn't find a game, is there any way to have it search for a different title to see if can find it?
