Show me what games I am missing from my collection?

I have all my games imported into Launchbox, is there a way I can compare these games with say all USA releases and see which games I am missing? For example all my Playsation 1 games are .chd format and I want to scan them against a list of all USA released games and then just show me which ones I am missing?

 

I also have all my games synced to the cloud and my collections area on the Games DB if there is a way to check on there somehow which games I am missing?

Thats not possible in Launchbox, you would need to use a third party program with the corresponding dat files.

I believe you are also out of luck if all your files are CHDs. I’m not aware of any DATs that support that format. I keep all of my set in a compatible format and keep a copy in CHD for games I’m actively playing for this reason.

You can always temporarily change your extension to the needed format with f.ex. Advanced Renamer and change it back afterwards. If you don’t run in some checksum errors?

Changing the extension to something else isn't going to work. By default, the checksum is going to be different than what Redump or No-Intro is providing in their DATs. There have been no official release of those in CHD format. I would love for this to happen at some point, but there doesn't seem to be any priority of making it happen so until then, if you want to maintain your sets from those release groups than you are out of luck using CHD.
