    @micro-bee said in EmulationStation Scraper NOT Working:

    I'd really like if there was a menu setting for hiding the inbuilt ES scrapper. As there are many better scalpers such as the Universal XML Scapper.

    Having an interface option for every possible scenario ends up having the adverse effect of adding clutter in the long run. You have to admit that adding an interface option that some people won't use to remove an interface option that some people won't use might not be the best use of space. Plus, despite the scrapers that better handle bulk, it's always nice to have the ES scraper handy to pick up the games that are missed elsewhere.

      @mediamogul, I see what your saying. I am not one for taking on custom add-ons and all that. I'll just wait and see.

        Can anyone who managed through building EmulationStation on windows lately please guide me or provide a detailed guide on how to compile it, getting loads of errors when trying it on visual studio 2015, all the tutorials i find are outdated and not working.

          @bufferoverflow If you're just trying to get the latest version for the scraper fix, then use @jdrassa's continuous build ES, it's compiled and ready to download - https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/releases.

                Nevermind, turns out only one of my images get the issue, permissions denied probably.

                Edit: I've forgot to update ES, i'm an idiot :p

                  @mitu its not only the scrapper, i want to edit few things and make mode some commands, maybe enable some extra features, want to get to an advanced level with C++ and i think working on something that i use is better than writing/coding/editing apps that i have no interest in will be a better thing to do and advance faster.

                    @mitu is there a similar build for PI? I'm not using Windows, but my ES Scraper still isn't working.

                      @nwsw Please open a new topic with your problem and provide the information requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. If you have an updated Emulationstation station you should not have this problem.

                            @Tomtom5893 https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/20613/emulationstation-internal-scraper-problems. TL;DR for now use an external scraper.

                                Hey guys. Updated recently to 4.4.12 and The Built in scraper isn't working! When trying to scrape it just returns no games found message. Anyone else having this problem?

                                Have a raspberry pi 3B

                                Thanks!

                                    @keithk2581 What version of Emulationstation do you have installed ? If you're still using a Raspbian Jessie installation (i.e. your installation is not using a 4.4 base image), the new version is not going to be offered for installation. Add more info about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

                                      Hey folks. Thanks for your responses. I apologize since I somewhat new to this and probably lack some of the necessary vocabulary.

                                      I think I've updated emulation station when I updated to my current version 4.4.12. Is there a way to check or another way I should be updating it?

                                      Also how do I tell what version of emulation station I I have installed, since I'm not entirely sure.

                                      Thanks for all your help in advance since I'm new to all of this.
