scoobymcsnack Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 LaunchBox is downloading/displaying images from the wrong region. For example, a couple of N64 games were displaying the Japanese logo (such as Banjo-Kazooie, Yoshi's Story) rather than the English logo, and didn't even have the English logo downloaded until I manually downloaded it from the database. How can I fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeran Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 It essentially comes down to the LaunchBox database not having the region for the image type you are looking for, so it ends up downloading what it can. In the case of something like "Banjo-Kazooie". Let's say you have a ROM that is denoted as USA, it will try and find a match for the North American region image type for clear logo. If you check our database, we only seem to have clear logos for the Japan and World regions. So the solution is to make sure there is a clear logo uploaded to the database that has the region you are looking for.

So this would also be able to be fixed by selecting "World" as one of my priority regions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have to change the region of the game, but more importantly, fleshing out the database would help future us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
