Scrapper fails when game is not present in the database and asigns other platform data

[Psico Lock]

When a game is not present in the database, launchbox finds the same game or similar title in other platform and downloads his data.

I check this issue for example with msx games that have the nes port counterpart data or arcade games with their consoles ports etc.

Hi Oscar, I can look into specific examples that you've run into. If the platform field is populated when searching TGDB, it should not return any games from other platforms. Can you detail the specifics? Is it on imports or when editing a single game?

[Psico Lock]

On imports. When i check my MSX list as example I find a MSX game named boomerang with data of cotton boomerang (sega saturn) XDD. Ys MSX with the cover and data of NES version etc

Okay, is it finding it from Wikipedia or TGDB or EmuMovies?

[Psico Lock]

Finding on TGDB, on wikipedia i always avoid the data scrap

I can confirm that problem for Wikipedia too. For example I have the game "Avenger" for the PC Engine CD but LaunchBox scraps infos for a game with the same name for the VIC-20/C 64.

This should no longer be happening since it was caused by TheGamesDB.net's scraper, which was removed. Let me know if I'm wrong and I will open it back up.
