PedgeJameson Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Has this ever been solved? I have a few great SEGA Genesis hacks such as a translated Bare Knuckle 3 I cannot add at all. Any help would be great, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rom hacks can just be added like any other console rom. You can either add them to the standard platform or create a custom hack platform to add them into. Plenty of users have been adding them for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedgeJameson Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Ok, so I add a custom platform? I didn't even know that was possible. Something new every day! How do I do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 When you import the rom the import wizard UI will open a screen for you to select "What platform are you importing games for?". In the drop down box simply type the name of the new platform you want to create (you can click in the box and type you are not stuck to only using the populated drop-down items). Then in the "Scrape As" field you can leave it blank or select the original platform to scrape that the original rom is from. That part is up to you as leaving it blank will bring no metadata. LB Games DB does not have metadata on Rom Hacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedgeJameson Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) Can I just add a folder of hacks for every platform? Or no, because it's going to ask for the emulator I assume. Edit: Dumb Question, sorry I am tired. Edited May 23, 2022 by PedgeJameson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedgeJameson Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Ok, it could only find one hacked rom. Bare Knuckle ENG. All the Sonic hacks and others won't show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify, are you saying they aren't added into LB or that meta data isn't downloaded? As Retro808 mentioned, The LB database doesn't have hacks roms, so unless you are scraping using a platform that matches where Emumovies has them (and it has those hacks), you won't get that meta data added.

PedgeJameson Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Look, I cannot add them. I even dragged and dropped but they don't show up in the wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm just trying to get them into a category. Only 2 show up in the wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes when a rom doesn't import I find it's because LB thinks it's already installed. Since text between ( ) and [ ] which are used in hack rom names a lot aren't used when importing the rom, that could be part of the issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedgeJameson Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 I drag the rom files in, only two show up, is it because of the scraping? I can fix that if that's the problem, I just want to launch these ROMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
