Hi,

It seems there is a problem with scrapping, at least with “SNK Neo Geo AES”, “Capcom Play System X” and a few others. Here is the steps, and the problem:

  • Create an “SNK Neo Geo AES” platform
  • Set the scrapping to “SNK Neo Geo AES”
  • Import roms (tools > import roms..). Note that i do not have any clones, and i tried with mame naming option with same result
  • All “non world/american?” roms are scrapped as “Arcade” instead “SNK Neo Geo AES”, which prevent some medias to be downloaded or roms using wrong (Arcade) data (name, date etc..)

Here is a very few “badly” scrapped games:

  • "Aero Fighter 2 / Sonic Wings 2"
  • "Agressors of Dark Kombat / Tsuukai GANGAN"

As you can see, it seems the problem may comes from the searched name which contains the other language names. If you remove the second name after the slash (“Aero Fighter 2 / Sonic Wings 2” > “Aero Fighter 2”) then the game is scrapped with the correct system (SNK Neo Geo AES”).

    Hi, is there any news on this? This is a major problem, as currently we can’t correctly scrap any arcade platform (at least), including neo-geo, cps1-2-3, naomi, atomiswave.. etc.
