Tripple check the name of the game and the usage section in the readme of the extension you want to use.

I'll check out the readme on github,

also doesn't work with your F95Zone image

Checked the readme. I'll delete the extension now, since this "bypass" that you're doing so not something I want to do with huge game list. I'll keep an eye on if the name issue changes at some point. Or if someone else does it better.

Thanks.

Btw this "bypass" is the only possible solution to get the exact game you want. If you would just slap the game name and try to find it using that, you'd have to hit up the website with a search which

1) might require a login 2) might give 0 or 1+ results 3) requires more requests, creating more traffic than necessary

All metadata extensions in this repo either use an API (like the VNDB one) or do static HTML parsing using HTMLAgilityPack.
