Yes I believe so. Is this something that could be updated? I'm doing research for a large project cataloging video games and I'd love to be able to use Launchbox as a source, but clicking into every game to see the year is not practical. Appreciate the responses and the work you guys do. Thanks!

I am sure it will be. The new site is a work in progress as the team now has a dedicated developer. So expect there will be more updates.

I'd reach out to support@unbrokensoftware.com and explain your use case. Could potentially get a data dump of the data that you can then peruse and use locally without the need for much manual navigation in the first place.

Alternately, maybe Neo Geo just needs people to stop *MOVING* cabs to Arcade and creating dupes.

The NEO GEO AES Section is for the HOME CONSOLE not the Arcade machines. Unless you are talking about the MVS, which is not the same.

Sure, but there's no way to stop that. I wouldn't be against some 'Super Moderators' or being able to lock things down, but the current system some things just seem to go around in circles.

I put MVS in my post.

I'm all for innovation but I also firmly believe in "If it aint broke, don't fix it." That being said, please add the ability to use the old Games DB Layout. It's going to take a long while to get used to the new one, plus some features are missing...although the dark mode is a plus

+1. The new layout appears to be missing full history of contributions and Approved status no longer appears for all entries (particularly in image submissions). It's a bit more confusing.
