[Bug] Roms merging and searching weirdly on special cases.

Issue #3525 new
Alfredo Olvera created an issue

Hi team,

I have a small bug to report, easily reproducible with the following SNES Roms:

  • Riddick Bowe Boxing
  • Chavez
  • Chavez II

When using the "Merge similar games" on the importer, these 3 games merge. This is "partially" correct since the first is the original, the second is a "translation game" of the first, and the third is somewhat of a sequel. I unmerged the third game correctly, but when I unmerged the second, the 2 "Chavez" games merged again. When I tried to unmerge those 2, then Chavez 1 merged with Riddick Bowe again. As you can imagine, I struggled for some time to look where the first Chavez game went, since it didn't cross my mind that it would be merged again with Riddick Bowe again.

I went back and forward merging and unmerging these games, until all 3 where separated, but this issue could be also showing on some other games. This was particulary confusing since as far as I know, the ROM filename is not "searchable" in LB or BB, so when I tried to find that original "Chavez" ROM, it would just show "Chavez II" since the other was merged with Riddick Bowe.

Thanks for looking into it.

Cheers!
