Final Burn Neo roms not importing

[SilasMurder]

I have a full MAME rom set up and running. I am looking to import a bunch of rom hacks that only work in Final Burn Neo. When I go to import them none of the roms import! I have tried all sorts of toggling and check marking combinations. Yes, I am aware of marking duplicates and scraping as Arcade. I even tried using MAME metadata. Launchbox pulls only one rom out of 74. The only thing I can get working is manually adding. Doing 74 manual games is going to be a big pain in the ass. Any guidance?

Are you importing them into the platform "FinalBurn Neo" and setting the emulator to FBNeo?

I originally tried importing into general arcade. Then I have created a platform for Final Burn Neo. I have also tried creating Arcade (Final Burn Neo). I have it all setup with retroarch and core mapped out in platform and emulation. I have been using LB for a while now. Never ran into this. Kind of wondering if I should try finalburn neo as a standalone emulator? Would that trick it?

The FinalBurn Neo import feature is new ("officially" as of 12 days ago).  I don't know if it's to check the core you select with RA and/or the standalone emu to be able to determine is it FBNeo ROMs you're importing or not.  The announcements were not very descriptive.  TBH, haven't tried it and my suggestions were just guesses. 😊  But yeah, try the standalone emu. Then later you can change it.

Tried it. Same result. Tried all sorts of marking and unmarking in custom options. Tried MAME data and no MAME data. Not sure why it is doing this?

Just ran a few tests...

• Tools < Import < ROM Files < Single Platform
• Add Files (just grabbed some MAME .zip files for testing)
  • Any file(s) will work
• Platform "FinalBurn Neo"
  • also did "Final Burn Neo"
  • and "FBNeo"
  • All 3 worked (screenshot below)
  • "FBN" did NOT work
• Scrape-As "Arcade"
  • Selecting ANYTHING other than "Arcade" did NOT work
• Emulator "MAME"
  • Also did RetroArch - FBNeo core
  • Also did RA - "citra" core (at random)
  • Also did "BigPEmu"
  • All 4 worked (screenshot below)
• Right after the "bezels" screen
  • The was no option (checkbox) available for "Use MAME Data"
  • Checked none (default)
• Next screen, this appeared

 

Take away:

1. Name the platform one of these:
   • FinalBurn Neo
   • Final Burn Neo
   • FBNeo
2. Set Scrape-As to Arcade

Nope. Have done this all. Tried it again, and nothing but the one rom pulling through "garoup" which is Garou Mark of the Wolves Prototype. Metadata pulls just data for "garou". Which is fine, doubt the prototype is even databased. Thanks for the help. I maybe need to reinstall or something. Especially if it works for you. Tells me I am glitched some how.

Hmm, something must have been wonky with the original 13.26 install.

Glad to hear it's all working now!

When I stop to think about it. I remember freezing during the update whenever it was prompted, over a week ago I believe. I had to kill app in task manager. When I reopened it installed. Most likely the case, I bugged myself when it froze up. I should restart before updating, this hard drive is getting very full. lol Only logical thing I can think of. Thanks for your patience friend. Everything is working as intended.
