Not importing Arcade Name from Metadata

[Michael Winn]

The latest version of LB (13.2) is not populating the Name field in Arcade games. It just puts the ROM name. This does not happen for any other platform.

This could happen in certain scenarios, depending on how you imported those games.

Did you use the full set importer or using the ROM importer?

used the ROM importer, I do not have a full set.

If importing Arcade games through the ROM importer, then one step before the last you will need to check off the option to “Force using MAME metadata (for emulators other than MAME that use MAME files)”. This will then bring up the arcade filter window and provide you with the proper names during the final review.

If you have a curated set of ROMs, we recommend that the last window should look like the following for best results:

Thank you Brian, I did in fact already uncheck that option, but I have just re imported my ROMs again (without deleting media) and this time it seems to have worked, all names are there now. Not sure what happened the first time but thanks for your help.
