    Hi,

    I'm trying to scrape some roms for the game images, I have a massive system with lots of ROMS that I've worked on for a while...

    I used Sselph's scraper to scrape some of my roms. I've also used the inbuilt emulationstation scraper. Still, loads of roms don't have their artwork. Any other ones I can use that will be successful?

      @nicky_s14 Other scrapers are skyscraper and universal xml scraper A quick google should get you info on them and how to use.
      Failing that you could add the images manually. Obviously depending on the number. I do this for hacks and homebrew ROMS.

        @jonnykesh , I've had good luck with Universal (mentioned above) and it makes it pretty easy to tweak some that might be missed.
