How does the Launchbox DB match up to Neo Geo roms?

Almost all of my Neo Geo rom titles do not match the game name in Launchbox as well as the alternative names, but somehow, it knows they pair together, so it matches to a DB ID and pulls over all of the artwork, etc.

Some rom files don't do that and I'm just wondering if there's a way I can submit those associations. The rom names can't be changed or FBNeo won't launch them.

For example,
3 Count Count pairs with 3countb.zip and that all works and matches up great.
Bakatonosama Mahjong Manyuuki matches up to the rom file named bakatono.zip, but doesn't pull over the artwork and the game name in LB is Bakatono and not Bakatonosama Mahjong Manyuuki

Hope that makes sense.

I found a .dat file for Neo Geo and converted that to .csv using Python, which has the name mappings, but still struggling on where Launchbox is getting this info from. I'd love to get some of these updated so they pull over all of the artwork and metadata from the db.
