But I tried adding one new game just last weekend and now when I do a scan, it says the roms for games I've had in the system for a long time no longer exist and ask if I want to remove them from the database.  The roms are there and the games are playable.  I tried importing the romdb according to the wiki then scanning, and that didn't do anything different.  I cleared all metadata and rescanned and it deleted all the games (except for fceu (I think) ones which is strange).  I had to restore my DB to get them back (can't leave the kids on vacation without them  :)  ).  I can post the frontend errors I get when scanning if needed - no access to the systems right now.  Running Debian Squeeze with debian-multimedia packages.

I've had mythgame running for some time, and I migrated my game data
to 0.23. I did notice that browse by game system type is broken in
0.23, and I'm not a fan of the change that was made to how game
screenshots are catalogued.

0.22 and earlier behavior: screenshot dir is set per game player entry
0.23 behavior: single directory for all screenshots, regardless of game player
