 Correct.

also on the mythgame setup screen if i 'clear rom metadata' do i have
to reload the romdb.sql? or does this just clear any rom metadata

 That is only referring to the current data that is stored about each
of your games and does not touch the romdb table at all.  It basically
allows you to "start from scratch" with regards to your game list.

 Currently it wipes everything from gamemetadata.


ok thanks.

I'm getting some strange results. I have a bunch of xmame roms, that i just scanned in with "Indepth Game Scan" checked on. when i go to play them, only about 50 of them have been sorted into genres and even then a few of them display "UnknownMAME" as the genre. for example. i navigate down to - By Genre/Ball & Paddle/ I find one game, when i select it the information displayed is System: xmame, Year:19xx, Genre:UnknownMame, Favorite:No This seems strange since it is actually sorted into a genre in the display. Where can i look for clues as to what is going wrong?
