Joppnl Posted December 6 Share Posted December 6 (edited) Hello, fairly new to MAME and LB but it's almost looking and working like I like it. However: LB does not show the artwork of a lot of games, see attached pictures. What I did: followed online tutorials about installing LB, searching this forum for a simular question, re-downloading the media within LB, all no succes. May-be the games that do not show the artwork have something in common which might be the cause? Thanks! Edited December 6 by Joppnl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appears you had imported them into the Windows platform (vs the typical Arcade platform). By default, LaunchBox sets the metadata/media scraping for Windows platform to Windows [PC Games]. If you wish to keep your Arcade games in the "Windows" platform, edit the platform and set the Scrape-As value to "Arcade" and re-scrape the metadata/media. A more prudent approach could/would/should be to remove all the MAME (Arcade) games from the Windows platform and then [re]import your MAME ROMs into the Platform "Arcade". Then when you download images, you'll get the ones for Arcade games and not PC Games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joppnl Posted December 7 Author Share Posted December 7 Perfect!! Thank you very much! When inLB on the leftside of the screen I selected "Arcade" LB told me there were no such games so that should be the cause. I deleted all files (wow....it also deletes all the roms, not only the metafiles) and started over again and choose Arcade as import. Now all-1 are having artwork, nearly perfect. Can I ask you: is there a way to get artwork for this game? What should I change on a file-individual base? Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an option that you would have had to specifically tell it "Yes" to delete them. It was probably hidden in amongst all the words in the warning message. By default, LaunchBox will not delete any game/ROM files. Glad you were able to get them installed. 21 minutes ago, Joppnl said: Can I ask you: is there a way to get artwork for this game?

Rename the games Title to just "Space Invaders" (not 'Space Invaders / Space Invaders M') then to the right of that click Search for Metadata. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
