There are two names of the same platform in the database The platform is the game wave by zapit Can anyone delete this duplicate Thanks OBS: The Green is the original and the red is the duplicate

Hello, I am a big fan of Launchbox keep up the good work! Not sure how I did it (i have several theories) but i seem to have obtained several duplicate images in many games across platforms, from boxes to screen shots logos etc.... Does anyone recommend any utilities or methods for getting rid of these? Other than starting over again. Thanks!

When I try to add a game with the same name, but a different region, Launchbox does not detect new games added on the platform. It happens to me on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System platform, when I add Jurassic Park (Spain). It seems that since the Jurassic Park (USA) rom already exists, it ignores it. For it to work I must remove Jurassic Park (USA) and add both versions at the same time. So when I scan for new roms in the folder it detects both games if I check the "Force import of duplicate roms" option.

Hi, I seem to have accidentally created an “All” platform category, and cannot seem to get rid of the duplicate. Right clicking on either one just gives “grayed-out” options. Cannot delete or change either one. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have tried using backup xml files but do not think I fully know how to use it properly since I do not haves LaunchBox.xml file in the root folder. I am running latest version of LaunchBox. Any advice would be appreciated.

Good day friends, With ETA's recent tutorial on importing MAME, I was finally successful in adding that collection to LaunchBox. In doing so, I had selected the option to also create the subcategories (if you will) that fall into the classics- Atari, Data East, Nintendo, etc. A few days later I managed to also import my Daphne collection using the .txt and .bat files ETA has included that with that tutorial. However, now I appear to have two Daphne platforms in both LaunchBox and BigBox. I was wondering what would be the best solution so that there is only one Daphne entry? Any assistance would be much appreciated, thank you.

There are some duplicate platforms in the database: - XaviXPORT - Mattel HyperScan - Taito Type X

Hi there, I have imported some roms in launchbox and after I was finished, I realized that I have quite a few duplicates. Creating an AdditionalApplication entry from the gui is possible but it might take some time. So I just created a duplicate identifier that automatically creates the xml tags for your platform xml and lists all the files that can be removed (manually) and puts that into a results folder. In theory, you can copy the additional apllication tags into your system.xml and you can remove the files that are listed as duplicates now. No guarantee it won't mess something up so please backup your platforms directory before you start modifying your xmls. YOU, YOURSELF. My program does not modify your files, it just lists and makes a guess what you want and puts all that into text files for each system I think I'll eventually make it more sophisticated and add trying to find wrong database entries. if you call it with no parameters, the program assumes you have your xmls in K:\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms\ and this is your priority preference: prioList = append(prioList, "North America") prioList = append(prioList, "World") prioList = append(prioList, "Europe") prioList = append(prioList, "Germany") prioList = append(prioList, "Japan") but you can also call it with cli parameters: first parameter is the filepath with backslash, then you can add parameters with region preferences I included the executable and the source code. Have fun :-D http://www.filedropper.com/launchboxcleaner Also: it's the first version that creates usable results stored in files for all databases in your system with priority and cli parameters. Expect to see some bugs. I just found one myself: some result files are exactly 4096 bytes and also incomplete...
