Re-import titles are missing.

[ryangroth5]

I noticed some titles that used to be there are now missing. After trying to single-file import the title, the thing that allows it to come in is "skip duplicates" even though (frustratingly) the duplicate doesn't appear in the menu. I pulled the DB backup and found the entry of one of these titles (below). Seems like it is coming in without a title at one time? Is the best approach to delete everything and start over with a mame import or is there another way to clear title-less imports (I'm assuming there are others).

The Additional App you show is for the game Contra and is pointing to the parent ROM.

If under options or during import you set a region priority other than N. America or World, chances are that game was previously imported under the game title Gryzor or Kon To Ra.

That's it. Thanks! So reimport with the region priority set or do I have to delete out the arcade section and reimport to get the right title?

[JoeViking245]

Probably the easiest and in-the-end, cleanest approach would be to remove all the [Arcade] games from LaunchBox then reimport them, setting the Region priority to your liking.
