      Is there anyway to get skyscraper to follow symlinks?

      In my ~/RetroPie/roms/ folder, I have replaced my psx folder as a symlink to a folder on my hard drive. Emulation station picks up these games, but skyscraper doesn't give me the option to scrape for psx.

      I am using skyscraper 3.0.1.

      Pi Model or other hardware: 3B
      Power Supply used: Raspberry Pi Official Universal Power Supply 5.1V 2.5A
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.4
      Built From: retropie-4.4-rpi2_rpi3.img
      USB Devices connected: Logitech F710 controller
      Controller used: Logitech F710 controller
      Error messages received: None
      How to replicate the problem: Create a symlink for one of your roms folders.

        @Rincewind Are you using the RetroPie script module or the command line ? When did you last update your RetroPie-Setup ?

          @mitu I am using the script module. I have just updated the RetroPie-Setup script and skyscraper. Same result.

            I just checked and it's indeed listing the systems will discard the symbolic links. Thanks for the report, I'll have a fix in the next version of the script module.

                Thanks from future me as well, as I intend to symlink my PSX directory like this in the future too!

                  It should be fixed now, just need to update the RetroPie-Setup script to get the fixed version.
