PedgeJameson Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Is there a filter to do this? I'm sure I would love this game if I knew how to play it. No offense to the culture. But it's everywhere in my collection. How can games like these be filtered out? TY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 IF you're referring to MAME I believe they all have the genre of "Tabletop / Mahjong". You could filter by that and then delete them all. You could do the same just searching for the string "mahjong" and deleting the search results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedgeJameson Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 Actually, I mean every console in LBox. They seem to show up a lot, like NES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Yeah, best bet is to just search for the term and delete what shows up. Another good word to search for is "shanghai". There is a series of mahjong games by that name that spans several consoles. Would be another way to narrow it down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedgeJameson Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 I forget, they don't delete from the drive, correct? I have taken a vacation from LB recently, so I was unsure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken a vacation from LB recently, so I was unsure. that's correct they don't delete off your drive, at least not by default. you can check Tools > Options in the very first General tab is a checkbox "Allow deleting ROMs when deleting games" to see if that is enabled/disabled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedgeJameson Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 (edited) Thanks, the games won't be searched again on startup, will they? EDIT: Yeah, but it was in the settings for automatic rom imports, it's now been turned off. Edited June 13 by PedgeJameson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowaratymo Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 (edited) I get what you mean about being flooded with Mahjong titles. It can be overwhelming when a game you're not interested in keeps popping up in your collection. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any specific filters for hiding overseas games, but you might want to check the settings or options menu in your gaming platform or app to see if there's a way to customize your game library.When I'm looking to unwind or clear my mind, I often turn to my favorite spider solitaire game. It's a great way to relax and organize my thoughts. Edited July 4 by Jowaratymo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Rage Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 If you want to delete the actual files, I would just delete them from windows first. Just go to the rom folder and search for say (Japan) or some use (jp) and delete everything that comes up. Then you can just use the launch box function in the menu scan/delete no found roms (or whatever it says, don't have LB started right now lol) It will then prompt you to delete from LB any game where the rom isn't found. You can also just search for mahjong if you just want all mahjong games removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
