Rescrape a platform

[ckp]

originally i put my snes roms as zip files in my RPi and scraped for images. just now i deleted all the zips and copied in the unzipped roms instead. now i have no images showing.
i'm not sure what i need to do.
if i rescrape, will i have two copies of every image?
do i need to delete anything via ssh or ES and rescrape?
thank you.

i tried rescraping but it said it didnt need to get any images. my games still show no images.

@ckp You could scrape a single game with Select Button. Choose "Edit game metadata" and you get a screen to edit manually any information. The Scrape button can help to get all the game information automatically, but some games just don't get recognized by the scrapper (Donkey Kong Country 3 for SNES is an example). You can add a game image manually too: put it on your SDCard, get the full location with the File Manager and put on the "Game Image" box on "Edit game metadata" screen.

it's not getting any info for any of the games i did this with: snes, nes, n64. before i replaced the roms for each of these with unzipped roms, it had game info and images for most games. and i see the image files for them. but there seems to be xml gamelist files that just have the old zip file game name mappings. i tried deleting those xml files and rescraping, but it comes up finding nothing for anything game. so i installed Selph's scraper and it's scraping now. hopefully that one will work.
seems if you change the game roms from zip to unzip files, you won't get any game metadata or image files linked to them using the builtin scraper.

@ckp I’m having the same issue scraping nes and SNES. May be an issue with the gamesdb website.

it worked for me using Selph's scraper with source ScreenScraper

@ckp sometimes the filename has (!) or (u) right before extension, and the scraper don't recognize the game just because of these things. Take a look and try again without these things.
