I ran into this issue as well, one possible solution might be to add a prompt for possible matches if no good match is found during the import process. And for people that don't want to monitor the rom import process, maybe allow an option to turn off the prompt from the settings menu.

I will do some tests with it.
Quote:Would it not also be possible to check alternate titles? On Mobygames for example, most games alternate titles are listed and very often, they are listed without any sub-title.I did not find alternate titles on mobygames. Do you have an example? But anyway: "most" and "very often" are not the adjectives that I want to use as a base for an algorithm
Quote:By the way malte, I don't want you to think that I am picking holes in your script - this is far and away the best script I use in XBMC currently.Thanks. And, no problem: I really appreciate these detailed test and bug reports.
