      hi,

      how can I change it from thegamesDB to Screenscraper.fr to use the internal scraper?

      best wishes!

        @naddel81 you can't. Use an external scraper.

          I used skraper, skyscraper, sselph and universal scraper. all scrapers have their flaws so I have to manually add the missing covers.
          that can only be done conveniently via internal scraper. I hope there is a solution in the future because it seems to be broken for now.

            Each scraper has its strengths and weaknesses, so you have to mix and match. Please stop complaining incessantly about the same problem - you've made like 10 posts about the scrapers that don't work like you need. You already received some suggestions, which you seem to ignore and still complain again.

              you are right that I pointed out the scrapers not being as easy to use as I'd like. But I also communicated that I am really looking forward to see the inbuilt scraper work again, because it makes manual scraping much easier than editing XML files by hand for many exclusive roms that are in no database.
