      SOLVED

      Hi – was excited to stumble onto Retropie yesterday...I've had a couple of Pis gathering dust for some time. :)

      I've got everything running smoothly, thanks to this brilliant community, but this morning I attempted to scrape for metadata and consistently receive the "No games found" message when scraping. The roms I'm working with are named properly and in their original format. I noticed there was a python script to help with scraping but saw the note that it's not compatible with the latest ES builds.

      Any tips on how I can get the metadata flowing for my titles?

      Thanks so much!

        Use sselphs scraper. Its not currently scraping cause thegamesdb is down (which is a common issue.) So until they are back up you'll have to use a diff database or just wait.

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/
