None Support FB Neo Non-Arcade systems with correct game names?

I am right when i say that LB can not import Non-Arcade systems/Consoles like ColecoVision, Sega Megadrive and so on with the correct game names?

I have tried to import NES Roms from Final Burn Neo Subplatform. I set:
Platform Name: Nes_FB Neo
Scrape as: Arcade
Emulator: Retroarch
Core: fbneo_libretro
Any specific custom options? No

Result: the imported game names are the same (like arcade romsets name style) as the rom file names with no metadata.

So LB has a FB Neo Arcade Support built-in, but not for the FB Neo Non-Arcade systems, right?

Correct.  If I recall correctly, FB-Neo ROMs are essentially MAME ROMs (in that they use the short_name.zip filename format).  I never paid attention to know that FB-Neo also consisted of console games.  If those also use the short_name, then they'd be more like MAME's SoftwareList ROMs.  

Also, ColecoVision would need to be scraped as ColecoVision.  Sega Megadrive would need to be scraped as Sega Master System.  But it still wouldn't work if the filenames are the short_name. 

If the ROMs aren't in the short_name format (e.g. BurgerTime.zip vs. btime.zip) and the scrape-as is set to ColecoVision (in this example), then they would work.
