Game matches to wii version instead of arcade

[Eggbert]

I can’t get Target Toss Pro: Lawn Darts to match to the arcade version.  I only see the drop down option for the wii version, and can’t seem to get it to match correctly.  Is there a way I can force it to match to the arcade version?  The two DB entries are below:

Hi There,

If you clear out the platform field and then search for the DB entry, do you see both versions, or still only the Wii one? If so, can you try settings the platform to Arcade first, and then searching? It should restrict searches to whatever you have set in your platform field.

Let me know how you get on

No.  I only see the wii version when I remove the platform field.  Also, if I just put int target toss pro, I only see the target toss bags game for the wii and arcade and the lawn darts game for wii.  The arcade version of the lawn darts never shows up.

I got it to work.  I forced an update of the game database and it matched this time.  I tried that yesterday and it didn’t work so not sure why it did today, unless the entree is brand new and wasn’t pushed out completely yet?  I also added a clear logo for the entree that got approved last night.  I am not sure if it wouldn’t show it to me because the theme I am using wants a clear logo?

No.  Nothing to do with that.

I was just about to post the same thing.  I tried manually adding a game and (like you, before) it would only find the Wii version.  Went to Tools < Download < Force Update Games Database Metadata...  and (again, like you) this time it worked.
