Scraping failing when importing Neo Geo titles?

Recommended Posts

I'm using LaunchBox on a Retroid Pocket 2+ and it's amazing. The issue I'm having is when importing Neo Geo games. It populates the titles just fine but for MANY games in the set, the titles have a "/" in it - and LaunchBox refuses to scrape any art for those (no wheel title, no screenshots, no box art, etc). It has the title and release date just fine, though.

I have yet to see this as often when importing other platforms but I've mostly been using small console sets up to this point. Any ideas as to how this can be fixed (both now for this Neo Geo set, and if I encounter it in the future)?

Thanks, gang.

Sounds like your roms are named incorrectly, neogeo is mame so the roms should have mame short naming, and those will never contain a /. NeoGeo games should have MAME naming as i stated, and "scraped as" arcade in Launchbox, and with the box to use "force use mame naming" checked, if you have full names, and actually in your case two full names separated with a slash then yes those wont match as there is no such game, could try removing the / and everything after it so its only one game name and not two also.
