@mitu thanks for replying .I was trying to get the x68k emulator swap-disks to work rather than the retroarch's . its odd that there are not any info about it on the internet! it got to be a common issue. anyways I gave up :) its seems retroarch is a much easier option now.

thanks again.your guides on this website helped me alot with the whole retropie/launchbox thing . I appreciate it.

@duiz I'm not familiar with Launchbox and what it uses as scraping source, but you can use another scraper to get the media and metadata for Emulationstation. You can choose between Skraper, Universal XML Scraper or Steven Selph's Scraper.

@backstander I haven't tested the specifics, but I think it could be spaces, but it could also be brackets like "(" and ")" that cause it to break.
