malte Wrote:One (very unhandy) way would be to use the file mask. Instead of *.zip or whatever you can enter full rom names here. RCB will only update this one rom. If you have mouse and keyboard next to your htpc it may be easier to do this directly in config.xml.
Rescraping single games should be one of my next tasks I guess. But not sure when it will be done. I am still not sure if I can make it a single task or as part of bigger changes to database layout and import mechanism...
Malte, I'm gonna sound like a complete NOOB ... again ...
I've set the mask to aladdin*.* . When scraping using the select method, I now understand why it was not scraped, the game is called 'Disney's Aladdin'. When I select the entry the info is downloaded but it is not added to the DB, there is no nfo file created (I removed the empty nfo file).
When I remove the game from the DB and do a re-scrape using the mobygames scraper, the game is found, but not added to the DB. Really weird. When the game is deleted from the DB, the total count of games stays at 781.
When I do a re-scrape using the Genesis collection scraper, the game is added again, without nfo of course. Then doing a re-scrape using the moby game scraper, the entry is found at mobygames, but now the info is not added to the DB AND the game is removed.
I don't understand a thing of this behaviour ... Any ideas?
EDIT : OH MY GOD, I'm such a stupid head ... the game is offcourse at 'D' ... Disney's Aladdin ...Conclusion , Malte the mask technique works perfectly. THANKS.
