      The Z game for PSX only have the European Cover... (for now)
      So if your Iso/bin/pbp/or what else is a US one it's normal...

      But our Big boss is on a "Bot" to fill the PSX Data ;) so PSX will have a nice DB soon ;)

        @screech Looks beautiful! We spontaneously adopted a dog over the weekend so I've been too busy to work on them. :\

          Using simple visual style, I have set default visual as 2d cover, alt visual as screenshot and videos enabled. I scraped a lot games and my problem is, for games when UXS downloaded a screenshot it writes the image in a different line in xms than the standard images (it creates an empty line for the standard images, and a second image line under it for the screenshot). I use the Mini NES Theme and it does not recognize those images (in fact none of my themes do). Is there a way to fix this, to make UXS use the standard line for alt visuals?

          Edit:

          It looks like this:

          <image/>

          <image>./images/X-Men (USA) (Proto)-image.jpg</image>

          When it should look like this:

          <image>./images/X-Men (USA) (Proto)-image.jpg</image>

          Edit 2:

          deleted the lines with <image/> and now alle the images work. did this for all my systems. Still an issue imo.

            @screech The positive part about a hurricane is I was able to finish up some of the n64 carts. I submitted them this morning. Do I have to wait until they are accepted to request certain games use them? I see the EA genesis/megadrive suggestions I made were done. They look wonderful... particularly Crue Ball :).

              Appears the changes have been accepted. Marblemad denied my changes oddly, but appears to have rendered his own. Looks like they should be live! Rescrape your N64 games! :)

                @HAILtoSTARSCREAM I'm aware of this issue :( but haven't the time to correct it (and don't know for the moment, why it duplicate the <image> tag :(
                (Temporary solution : Replace "<image/>" by "" in a text editor sorry for that)

                @hooperre Yes ;) Marblemad tell me that someone send N64 support to validation. But he isn't satisfyed by the final render (no offence, Marblemad can be very "pernickety" on some detail ;) (he wasen't even satisfyed by is own support... something about the left tiny hole in the cartridge ^^) So he created a lot's of new stuff,

                On Megadrive :
                EA
                Grey Australian
                Accolade
                Sonic & Knuckles with insert
                Codemaster
                Codemaster with Jcart
                Grey special virtua racing
                Black special virtua racing
                So normally we are good on "special support" for megadrive.
                And Every game normally have been modified (if you found one who haven't send a comment ;) )

                We also have work a lot's on MD system.
                Lot's of new media for every country (a lot's of Bresilian, Corean, Australian media...)
                So now if you scrape a bresilian version of rom, you will have the bresilian 3D/2D box and bresilian cardridge for exemple.
                If you want you can even force it in UXS (General config, just delete the %COUNTRY% tag and put BR in first ;) )
                Lot's of Media and info on Hack/Proto/translation Added too.

                MarbleMad Also work on N64 Support :
                Blue
                Gold
                Yellow
                Black
                Red
                Green
                Now we need to pass through each N64 game to change the support color ^^

                  @screech From what I saw he nailed a lot of the big ones! I'll try to do a more exhaustive look later. The sonic and knuckles looks great! Haha I built my colored carts based on the default grey one and didn't change the resolution at all, so I was surprised to see they got denied. But I'm not at all offended haha.

                  For some reason with the newest UXS I'm unable to get the MIX to work properly. I'm just scraping a single box. Happens with all different MIX profiles. Any thought as to why?

                    I have a issue where every time I try to scrape I get an error message 'Roms path can't be reached'.

                    I have tried scraping ROMS stored on an external hard drive and also through Emulationstation but I'm getting this error message every time, I have used this method flawlesseley for a few weeks but has now stopped working.

                    Any suggestions please?

                      @hooperre Check your option menu, "visual" must be checked on "MIX" ;)

                      @PaulyW84 Strange, do you access "G:\piroms\roms" from your explorer ? If yes UXS can too, except if you have some Antivirus or firewall blocking it. You can also try launching UXS in "Admin mode " (CTRL + Right Clic -> Launch as Administrator)

                        Mix is checked. It's super weird too, because I have my win 10 set to view as 'very large icons' and I'll see the MIX image pop up for a second, but then it reverts to the individual case. If I open the file with any image editing software, it's still only the case. I don't know if it's the .zip file or what?

                            @screech Ha. Was just searching for one. I've had this issue since the 2.1.0.6 release tbh. I've just kind of stuck with that, but the new updates are too attractive to pass up. This is really an amazing piece of software. Y'all have done amazing work on the site and software.

                            Here's everything I could think to send ha.

                              Need one more thing to test exactly your settings. Can you send me your Retropie.xml (In your UXS folde\ProfilsFiles )

                              What I see so far : it's like UXS create the MIX, but didn't find the mix he just create (dumbass :S) so he create the "Alt Picture" and the Alt is the 2D Box and overwrite the MIX...

                              What I don't understand is, normally, there is no "Alt Picture" in MIX mode :S

                              So I try to recreate your environnement, and just need the profile file you use ;)

                              Thank you.

                                @screech I access the directory using the initial setup wizard. It picks up the directory and knows which subfolders are there.

                                My G: drive is a portable hard drive but I also have the same problem when trying it using roms that are on my internal hard drive and also when trying to scrape directly from my pi.

                                I tried it with administrator privileges but still the same problem and I can't see anything within my firewall or anti virus that would be blocking it.

                                It was working fine but then randomly stopped.

                                Any other suggestions please? If you need any log files please let me know which ones are required.

                                      @PaulyW84 Hum... Strange, if UXS can access the folder for the "selection" (with the wizzard) he must can access it after :S
                                      Yes, please send me a pastbin of your log.txt (the "single one", not the one with number ;) )

                                      @hooperre I'm sorry, I can't reproduce your problem :(
                                      I have exactly your configuration now (except for the main path) and it work well ><
                                      Can you : delete all your UXS folder except the main EXE (Universal_XML_Scraper64.exe or Universal_XML_Scraper.exe) and relaunch it. It will recreate all the file and reset all your config. You just need to go to Configuration/MIX/Download Mix to redownload the 4img MIX. And put your path to your rom. and try again... I really don't understand why UXS don't understand the MIX on your PC :(

                                        @screech Gutted. Just deleted and restarted and same issue. The last working version for me was 2.1.0.6 with MIX files.

                                        Edit: Just realized this last log file doesn't help because the program crashed on opening.
