Why can't the DB update pull the correct game names? Because if you submit "fotns" to 'TheGamesDB' (which is the DB used by mGalaxy) it will return nothing!

Good suggestion. I think I have the same ROMs for both my MAME install and the FBAlpha one. That is much easier than what I've been trying to do, manually update the Descriptions.

Rob
