Well, the NES database is an incomplete database. But as I have said, it is always best to use a know naming convention. These are NoIntro, Tosec, Goodtool, and GameBase currently (on the NES database at least). I have just checked it and 0-B is as far as it is populated, not great I know. But it is coming of course.
-
personally, I wouldn't worry too much about C64 and using the database, there is a lot of work to do on that one and perhaps it is better to just turn off the database for that system, but.. using a naming convention like tosec is always the preferred.
-
DOS is a very limited database, and all databases generally require a romset with a certain degree of naming convention. For NES, I would certainly expect a degree of matching, using Good set, nointro, tosec, hyperlist, etc. If the name does not match, GX does a fuzzy match (and does the same with artwork) and this can result in invalid matches.
-
And yes, you are correct that DOS and C64 are not overly populated due to their enormous size, though there are certainly entries in them that should match.
-
Taking your colecovision collection as an example, what rom set are you using? i know this is a well filled database for all standard sets so would certainly expect hits. It could be me, but in your ini file I could not spot the key to state use database names? Perhaps I missed it.
-
Looking at your ini I cannot see that any emulator is set to "use database names". I see that you have colecovision set up, and this has an extensive database, so it's certainly not because there is an incomplete database.

All databases on the repo will be updated in the next week or so.

Not sure I understand, Just checked my database and the Master System contains 673 entries? Just to be sure, have updated the one on the Repository.
