      Hello guys, sorry for asking this. I am new to this forum and a bit new to this RetroPie universe. I have been using google and youtube for tutorial and have been working fine. But I have notice that it been slow lately from thegamesDB but I notice that it been fast now last 2 days.

      Anyway my issue is that now when I scrape it, it give me info of the game but no longer give me any cover/artwork like it did 2 days ago. Anyone is having same issue? I like this much more than Universal XML Scraper V2.

      Cheers!

                  According to their facebook page, they are doing maintenance and will "be down for a while". They did confirm thats why emulation station is not scrapping images. But will be fine once they are done.
