      So I've spent way too much time getting the retropie set up the way I want with 2500 games scraped. The annoying thing is that I have ONE game left that won't be recognized. K240 for the Amiga. It's in the thegamesdb and the spelling is correct and I can't figure out why it won't be scraped.

      Anyone have a qualified guess or even better, a solution?

      Thanks

        @stuffu If you are using the built-in scraper, you can force it to look up a certain game by editing the search box (press the Input button) and replacing the name of the game with id:<id_of_game>, where ID is the page id from thegamesdb.net. For this game, the id is 52331

        It could probably be a server side bug, or just some strange characters in the filename.
