Launchbox importing dreamcast

[hanzo83]

I have launchbox and bigbox. Had some issues with some roms from dreamcast from not loading at all. Couldn't find a good answer on why. So I deleted the system and imported redream emulator into launchbox. But it won't allow the games to import because I guessing they are now in .chd format.

Is there any way to actually import them.

I also have tried and every time it comes up with o games.

Redream and Retroarch standalone play the games without any issues. But won't import into LB. But I can and am using a rom file that is actually the redream emulator right now to be able to still play games in BB

Any help would be great.

Kind of stuck without trying to re-download 300 plus games over again in another format.

The way LaunchBox works is that it's file agnostic. It doesn't care what files you are trying to import and will . The one thing it won't let you do (but default) is import the same game twice. If you are pointing to a folder of files and LaunchBox is saying there's nothing new to import, it essentially means that LaunchBox sees those games in its library area somewhere.

If you can't find the games in your library, you can test this theory out by running through the import and at the very last page, just before it lists the games, check the option to Force importing duplicate games. If you enable that setting and the next page shows all of your games, then that's what's happening. You could then choose to duplicate the games in your library and import them anyway, or you could try and figure out where those games are in your library.
