For some reason, several of my roms are getting recognized and scanned by Scrappy, but are not showing complete names in the Explore section. I’m completely stumped as to why. Here’s an example:
The name matches to an entry in MUOS/info/names/fbneo.json
"ddpsdoj": "DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou (2012/ 4/20)",
I have tried re-scraping, (re)setting the core association, and removing and re-downloading the rom. Not sure what else to try.
Have you tried hitting X to refresh after you edited the json file?
An aside, does that game actually run?
I think we can’t use fbneo.json.
Maybe only content.json.
I think you’re right only content.json works. We used to have individual files per core but now the main db is built into muOS so it is expected that anything you want different you would put in that file. Hitting X to refresh is required after editing the content.json as we do some.
Yes I refreshed, and yes the game runs fine. It’s just the name.
Where is content.json? I only see these in /mnt/sdcard/MUOS/info/name
fbalpha2012.json fbneo.json folder.json general.json mame2000.json mame2003_plus.json mame2010.json
I tried adding this game’s entry to general.json but that didn’t help either.
I figured it out. I copied /mnt/mmc/MUOS/info/name/content.json over to /mnt/sdcard/MUOS/info/name/content.json (it didn’t exist on the SD card on my device) then added the entries there. It didn’t work to add them to any of the pre-existing json files, nor to add them directly in /mnt/mmc/MUOS/info/name/content.json.
I’m sure this is quite an edge case, but if the existing .json files in /mnt/sdcard/MUOS/info/name aren’t used, it might help avoid confusion like mine if they were removed or marked as inactive somehow.
Thanks for setting me on the right track!
lol ok it looks like it does not in fact run fine; I had only tested at the menu. So this was a bit of an unnecessary exercise, but at least I learned how the name overrides work.
