[Solved] Scraper problem

[saccublenda]

Hello.
When I scrape a Segacd game from emulationstation, after I hit the "save" button I get back to the shell prompt with an error:

terminate calle after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of range'
what(): map::at
Aborted

The same error occurs when I try to scrape PSX games, while for Amiga and SNES everything works fine.
Any advice?

Pi Model or other hardware: 3
Power Supply used: USB3.0
RetroPie Version Used: 4.3.11
USB Devices connected: 1x Keyboard / 1x Controller
Controller used: 8bitdo sfc30 (bluetooth)

Could be a problem with your gamelist format. Try exiting Emulationstation, then removing the gamelist for the system where you have the error.

rm /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/psx/gamelist.xml

Restart the system (sudo reboot) and let Emulationstation re-create the gamelist, then try scraping again. Note that removing the existing gamelist with the command above will also remove any scraped info for that system.

@mitu Already did it, it keeps giving the same error.

Ok, I found out it's a known problem that occurs when scraping directories, that is, a directory that collects several disk images for multi-disc games.

@saccublenda Thanks for the link so that others can find it here.

@saccublenda You could put the .cue files directly in the main system folder and put the .bin files in the sub-folder. The folders should not appear anymore in the list and the scraping will get the .cue file as input. You'll have to adjust the .cue file to point to the .bin files in the sub-folders created.

@mitu The presence of bin files in the main directory is not a problem, since they do not show in emulationstation game list. Leaving the cue files in the main directory and putting the bin files in the sub-directories wouldn't solve the problem of all the cue files (one for each disc) appearing in the emulationstation game list, which is the only reason (at least for me) for putting all files in a sub-directory.

LOL. For a second I thought you were having a conversation with yourself, cause the user avatar were almost the same.

@hurricanefan One running, one shooting.
:D

@saccublenda Argh, I actually missed that detail, too. :D

After the update the internal scraper can now scrape directories without giving the error.
