Save images as rom name rather than game name?

[stigzler]

Hi folks,

I know both formats work with lb, but is there any way to force lb to save images as rom name rather than as the game name?

No, there is no way to tell LaunchBox to do that because LaunchBox supports multiple images making exact ROM name match impossible if you have more than one image. There are no current plans that I'm aware of to add the option to do something like that either.

You can use this plugin here which I have used quite a bit particularly to keep my pinball media standardized format. It won't force LB to do by default but you can rename things after the fact.

From what I saw when writing the plugin, LB treats multiple images in rom name format the same as multiple images in game name format for the most part. For example, any mix of <game_name>-[0-9]+ and <rom_name>-[0-9]+ works fine.

Thanks all - will take a butchers. I was hoping there'd be a setting in LB if the facility is there in code, but 🤷‍♂️
