I ran an audit for a platform, with known duplicates, but the files have different names. Sadly not a single file was found as duplicate when I ran tue audit, so I assume that the duplicate tag is set only if there are 2 files with the same name, and not checking things like size or CRC?

 A duplicate game is duplicate if any of the following are true:
The file is the same as another game
The title and platform are the same as another game
The GamesDb ID that is assigned is assigned to another game

Thanks, so 2 rom files should be matched as duplicate if the gamesDB ID would match, from what I see here.

In my case I need to check and verify; as the title is different for sure, although the game file should be the same as they are the same rom file from what I can remember

Looks like it cannot find two identical rom files if their title and metadata are different. Renamed a GB rom, imported it with a different name and as the scraper was not able to find the title, it was added just as is, but the images related to the other rom (the one correctly recognized) were added to this rom.

So I am curious: was the rom recognized or not? If not why ended up having correct screenshots even if the title does not match and the application did not recognize it, adding the correct metadata? Here are two images of the details of the roms
