[Bug] Launchbox ID metadata provider returns incorrect matches (v4.0.0) #2107

Description

RomM version
4.0.0

Describe the bug
After upgrading from Romm v3.10 to v4.0.0, I tested the new Launchbox ID metadata provider. However, it consistently returns incorrect matches for various games.

For example:

  • Final Fantasy X was matched with Gears of War
  • Ace Combat 04 matched with Lords of the Rising Sun
  • Final Fantasy XII matched with Halo 3

Other providers like IGDB, Screenscraper, and Hasheous return the correct results for these same games, so the issue appears specific to the Launchbox ID integration. I scanned more than 100 games (for both PS2 and Game Gear), and all of them had incorrect matches.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Upgrade to Romm 4.0.0 and enable Launchbox ID as a metadata provider
  2. Refresh metadata for a platform using the Scan menu. Make sure Launchbox ID is selected (among other metadat providers).
  3. Wait until scan ends, and observe incorrect matches.

Expected behavior
Games should be matched to their correct entries in the Launchbox database.
