Game name year is sometimes wrong. #135

I notice when converting games that the name of the game is sometimes wrong. For Example the game: Achtung, die Kurve! (1995) when converting using eXoConverter 0.9.6-beta the converted name will be:

Achtung, die Kurve (1993).zip

When I check the Application Path in Launchbox, the game is called: eXo\eXoDOS!dos\Achtungd\Achtung, die Kurve! (1995).bat

So why does it convert to: Achtung, die Kurve (1993).zip? Maybe because the release year is 1993?

Why does it matter?

For me I want to also extract other artwork from Launchbox like diskette, screenshot, wheel, boxback, videos etc.

And if I use a tool like ARRM for scraping I can use ROM name / Image name if it matches ARRM will put it in the gamelist.xml

I can do a export from Launchbox based on gamename and it will match rom name, but in this case the game name is different so it will never match.

Same goes for Hyperspin the Rom name has to match the image name.
