Not finding all, barely any, games

[Lahrs]

I am getting back into Launchbox with the new update. Whenever I try to import any ROMS, it will find games within their own folder, but nothing loose. Oddly, it seems one or two (out of about 2000) games will be seen without being in additional folders. Current structure: System - Game. For games that have multiple discs, System - Game.m3u folder - Game discs & m3u file. Does every game have to be in its own folder to even be recognized by Launchbox? I do not remember that ever being the case before. Currently, Launchbox is pretty much unusable other than a nice interface. Guidance would be greatly appreciated. I don't know if it would or would not help, but I do have my forever license, and it is being recognized. It has also found and imported my installed Steam games without issue.

Are your ROMs properly named? If not then they will not be found in the LB Database. Look here for software renaming suggestions

Although they are not named through the database, I have my own naming system, before they would always be picked up. Usually, the metadata would still be found, but if not, I would use my file name for the game and the rest of the metadata would be blank. I could then either search for a metadata match or input my own, but the game would still run regardless. Even the games in my .m3u folders have my naming convention and are still being recognized to import. Those are the only files though. For example, 200 PS2 games (my naming convention), four of which are multi-disc. Launchbox will find and want to import those four titles, while not even seeing the other 196.

[EDIT] I still have no idea what the problem is, but I decided to move a few into the designated folder rather than having it redirected. That fixed it for now, but that still limits me to a small hard drive. I consider this closed, until later.
