I'd have to look into the code for the order things happen to see if something is getting changed after the fact. To start off with though we grab the game title directly from MAME and then that's used in the match process. For the games you are mentioning aren't scraping correctly could you tell me what it's scraping to now, and what you feel it should be scraping to?

Its worth noting the the database is open to all, its completely community driven, meaning you are more than welcome to make these changes yourself, you dont need staff to do anything.

Example is Argus and Argusg roms. It pulling the Argus for rom Argusg. The snap video and theme videos are correctly named in Emumovies FTP. Also the snapshots are wrong. In the attachment below the 2nd video is correct but plays the first one for the other game. If I delete it will delete the theme video for the correct game.
