game ex not displaying correct video

[fetts]

for some reason, game ex is displaying the wrong video/screenshot for certain games.

For example (all relating to nes for the time being), back to the future 1 is showing the video for back to the future 2 and 3. while back to the future 2 and 3 is showing the title shot for back to the future 1.

Also, bases loaded 1, 2, and 3 are all showing the bases loaded 3 video and the bases loaded 1 title screen.

all videos, screenshots etc were downloaded from emumovies. the roms are correctly named too. what can i do?

Im assuming for the games that are displaying the wrong artwork that particular artwork does not exist and its trying to do a best match. Otherwise it could be something I need to fix if it can be confirmed is an issue. You can turn off the find nearest match under tweaks performance in the advanced configuration app.

all the games i mentioned do have their own title screens/videos, but its not showing them. My guess is that its not reading the numbers or dashes. Like it reads Batman and Batman - Return of the Joker as the same thing.

EDIT: Part of the problem is with the files downloaded from emuloader. In the case of the batman games; the titles, carts and box art is labeled "batman - the video game". The manual, snaps, and videos has it listed as just "batman"

EDIT Squared: Oh, its because some folders are using the No Intro convention and others are using the GoodMerge convention. Could this be the problem?

In order to have a guaranteed match, you need to have the base file name of the rom and the video/snap/title/etc match exactly. If files don't match exactly, you can turn on the best match support, but you will get problems like you have experienced. There are some tools that have been getting development work recently that can help with your problem. Check out Fatmatch for the most current one.
