JuRaSSiCBoY Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Hi, I know this can be changed per rom by going to EDIT->ASSOCIATED APPS--> selecting for example the USA rom and clicking the "Make Default" button, but It would be awesome to change te default roms region to an entire specific platform or to all the platforms at once in the same way that can be done for media (options -> data -> region priority). Can this be done somehow? Thanks a lot, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil9000 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 That is for roms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuRaSSiCBoY Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 Thanks, Uhmm... not working here. I got USA version above the Japan version at "Data -> Region Priorities" and Launchbox prioritize the Japan version at "Play Version..." (Japan appears above USA at dropdown) and plays the Japan version when loading the rom directly from "Play" button. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuRaSSiCBoY Posted March 25, 2022 Author Share Posted March 25, 2022 I think now I understand the meaning of the region priorities. The message says: "prioritize for imports and images", but in my case I want to import all the roms from all regions and just be able to select the region order and default at "Play version dropdown". i.e.: I want to import USA, Japan, EUR roms for NES platform. Once imported I can change the default rom region at "EDIT -> ASSOCIATED APPS -> USA" to always Play USA rom for a single game at a time. It would be amazing if I could select the region order for the entire NES platform too, the same way we can prioritize the roms at the time of import from the "Data region priorities" menu. Game: 8 Eyes - Default rom region to play when click the rom: USA - Dropdown menu order on "Play Version..": USA, EUR, Japan, Canada, Germany Maybe It's not a feature included with Launchbox? Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuRaSSiCBoY Posted July 6, 2022 Author Share Posted July 6, 2022 Finally found the reason for the malfunction. I've got romsets with brackets "[USA], [Europe], [Japan]" separators instead of parentheses "(USA), (Europe), (Japan)" so Launchbox doesn't interpret correctly the brackets and doesn't apply the region order. That's why I was asking for a way to force it after import. Solved! Thank you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duerra Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 How strict is this? How did you find what matches and what doesn't? I am having Launchbox fail to identify regions properly. I am using parentheses in this case, but the Roms may say (JP) instead of (Japan), and (US) instead of (USA). They also have NTSC and/or PAL identifiers. None of these seem to be triggering Launchbox into selecting the correct version by default. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duerra Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Still trying to understand if there's a clear guide on how Launchbox handles naming conventions so that region is properly prioritized on import? I'd prefer to rename in advance of conducting a bulk import to ensure priorities are correctly established the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
