NES and SNES games not scraping at all (the games db scraper)
-
Guys this is driving me nuts, all systems are scraping fine and quick except NES and SNES… is anybody having this problem? Any way of fixing this???
-
Try updating your scraper then try. I have had it work one day..then not the next..on the same system from the same source. Update fixed it.
-
I udated the system twice already and nothing, before this halpened i did copy my image to a new one cause my old one wasnt working, does that have anything to do with it?
-
No not the system. Update the scraper itself.
Now that i reread yor post it is not clear what scraper you are using. I am going to assume you are using the scraper built into the ES gui. Sometimes that will happen with the scraper you just have to "wait it out" till you can connect again. Never did figure that one out.and when that happened I could not scrape on my PC either..and the website would sometimes be down as well.
You can try using Sleph's scraper instead.
is a maybe a little outdated video on that but it still works. I will point out however if you are willing to compile and run it on a PC it is MUCH faster. But better to use the pi if that is all you have. -
@akafox yeah i updsted the scraper too, im using thr games db scraper, weird the it doesnt scrap NES and SNES games at all but it scrapes all other systems with no problem, ao far i found one user in another forum with the same exact problem
-
Is there a solution to this problem by now? I have exactly the same problem. SNES Games ware not found by Steven Selph's Scraper. First I thought it is because they are all 7ziped, but when I extract them, it doesn't matter.

@kokomo Please port your question into a new topic and give details about your system, as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

Could you list a few of the games that are not scraping? I had a problem wish several games that had some interesting work arounds on how to search for the title to get it to scrape, I still have 3 games that I cannot get to scrape despite being on db scrapers website it just wont replicate over through the pi scraper.
Games that I cannot scrape:
NES: 1942
GBA: Pokémon Fire Red, Pokémon Leaf Green. -
@nestor1924 If you want to have a better scrapping for your games/systems i would suggest using Universal XML Scraper V2 since it looks better than the default scraper on the Pi.
Also Universal XML Scraper V2 you have to use on your PC but it is very simple to use.
