How Launchbox identify rom games?

Hi all,

   i have a minor issue with how Launchbox identifies rom games within IDDB!

I try to rename rom filenames to be automatically recognized by LB to find the good IDDB record, but i'm facing a deadend with SNK Neo Geo MVS roms...

 

These roms files (.zip) MUST NOT be renamed to work with RetroArch, so Launchbox do not find any record in IDDB. Is there another way to notify LB with rom name, ex: comment in zip? My goal is to have a definitive way to do it without having to correct all rom "one by one" in LB interface... I usually rename my roms, and forget about it!

On the last page of the import wizard you need to check the box to use mame metadata.
