Wrong Japanese game name

[lagartija]

Hello everyone,I had this issue in some games when importing a set in the latest version of LaunchBox (The name does not recognize the cover image) I could fixed in Edit Metadata/media/ Alternate Names.But I didn't have this problem in a previous versions, One last question, Do you know why Launchbox change file names with a "-01"? it can be fixed?

Hi there,

Thanks for the question. The metadata for games is sourced from the LaunchBox Games Database and is independent of the LaunchBox version you’re using. If you come across any incorrect data in game entries, you can request changes directly on the Games Database site:

🔗 https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/

As for the -01 filenames, this is a standard naming convention that LaunchBox uses internally to organize images. If this naming convention causes any issues with your specific workflows, we’d be happy to hear about it!

Cheers,

Hi, I checked to the link you provided me and the gamename is correct                           But launchbox is taking the alternate name as the main game name when import a set             Regarding the question about the -01, I dont have any fancy specific workflows, I just want to have a clean import process and keep my files clean, I think is the basic think expected in a frontend, it would be great if you fix this errors

Thanks for the update. We use the ROM's region to denote which boxart, regional name is used during the import. If it cannot be determined from the ROM, then it will fall back on your Regional Priorities settings.

As a last resort, you can always change the alternative name after import, but the ROM region and regional priorities from LaunchBox's settings is what takes priority.

As I mentioned at the beginning, I did not have that media error in version 13.17 when I import a set, in version 13.17 launchbox recognize the boxart and it has the correct name
