starfiretbt Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 If I add to Launchbox two games with the same name will one copy over the other? I'm sure the answer is no but I'm a little scared to try. I added "Wing Commander III" for playstation but want to try "Wing Commander III" for DOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeViking245 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Each Platform stores its data, metadata and media separately from others. So if you import one into your PlayStation platform and the other into your DOS platform (or whatever name you gave it that's not "PlayStation"), they will not copy over the other. They will be saved into completely different files and folders/sub-folders. If for some reason you're importing them into the same Platform, during the import process, there should be a checkbox to allow duplicates to be imported. Not sure how that will affect the metadata and media for those games, but both should import. Hopefully this isn't the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be clicking on the "Next" button too fast because I don't notice that checkbox haha. Or perhaps it only appears when duplicates are present?

It's in the fine print under custom options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, I've been working on the MAME romset lately so that's what I remember (Force using MAME metadata). Thanks Joe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starfiretbt Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 Thank you guys, it imported just fine. I do have other problems with the game but I think that would be best for it's own thread which I will start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
