        @nestor1924 you also need to update emulation station under core packages. The newest version of ES fixes the scraper

            @nestor1924 Backup your sd card, then upgrade the ES package only. If anything doesn't work, then you'll have the backup. IMHO if your last full update was after October last year, then you shouldn't have a problem.

            Note that there isn't any problem for you to upgrade to 4.4 from the RetroPie setup script, for the moment the OS you're using (Raspbian Jessie) is still supported by Retropie. This will change in the future though and probably at some point you should also upgrade the OS with the new RetroPie image.

                I updated es. I have retro pie 4.4 and the gamesdB scraper built in still isn't finding anything for me. Any help?

                  @orehruoy Are you connected to the internet ? What is the Emulationstation version ? What game do you try to scrape and is not found ?

                    Yes its connected over WiFi and I transferred games that way so it's ok. I am not sure of the ES version but I literally just updated it. I did over Binary first then Source since I didn't know if one was better. I then went to scrape. I tried SNES games (I have a lot and there are popular ones there too.) and it couldn't find any it said.

                      @orehruoy Press Start and the ES menu will show up, the version is at the bottom of the menu.

                        Thank you guys i was able to fix it and I had no idea that there was an option to update only the ES package!

                          @nestor1924 Each package can be individually updated, not only ES. Glad you got it sorted out.

                            Ignore my post. I must not have reset after updating so it didn't take effect yet. Working now though.

                                @Potatopops9 It's explained in the Docs. However, the scraper does not currently work even if you'll be updating right now - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/20613/
