Launchbox importing tool skips games.

Issue #418 resolved
Martin Alejandro Liguori created an issue

I Added my SNES and NES collection of games (from very well known no intro roms collection) and when I wake up this morning I found out that launchbox didn't import a lot of the games, even though the importing was succesful without any kind of warnings (just 8 games that db didn't found like always).

From 1640 NES roms (1g1r collection no intro) launchbox imported 1498 From 1822 SNES roms (1g1r collection no intro) launchbox imported 902

Even super mario world USA was left out from the importing with no reason...I tried the game outside launchbox using higan and it works flawlessly.

    All games were tested using clrmamepro and no intro .dat

    Super Mario 3 USA from NES was not imported, this is very strange...

    I just tried to import Famicom disk system, it has less games, 260, the import was succesful, no roms were skipped.

    Maybe it is a problem with very big rom collections? This is the first time this happens. I downloaded the last beta last night.

    I rechecked everything and it seems that mame had the same problem before 3868 games from 3930. All other platforms seem to be ok.

    Maybe the xml database is starting to have problems? I reached the 10091 games today (i'm half my collection)

    I also am having the same problem Super Mario 3 i've download several different versions and all give me an error message when i try to import. I'm also having the same problem with Tetris and Top Gun

    MAME is expected to not import all selected ROMs due to the ROM filtering features. We are working on improving the MAME metadata to help make this more accurate.

    For all other platforms, I am almost certain that any issues were caused by the old TheGamesDB.net scraper, which is no longer there, so I expect this problem to be solved.

    Let me know and I can open it back up if necessary.
