Skyscraper now officially part of RetroPie, please test

@Stuffu Check the option for where you want the gamelist exported to. It's in the script. Basically there are two places you can export game lists to. The one you refer to, and inside the roms/<PLATFORM> folder. Skyscraper exports to the latter by default. But as I said you can change that easily from the script options or by using the -g cli option.

Data you've scraped with the internal scraper can be imported into Skyscraper with the esgamelist scraping module. Read about it here.

Cool, worked very well, thanks!

Tried Skyscraper last night and, wow, it's much cooler than the built-in scraper (which is the only one I had experience with).

@Gunner14 Update your RetroPie-Setup script and re-try.

@mitu

Have done mate, multiple times.Still a no go

mitu

@Gunner14 What's the version of your RetroPie-Setup script ? It should be shown at the top of the main script menu when first starting the script.

Gunner14

@mitu

Have it on the latest / current version

Gunner14

@mitu

ill double check when i bet home but have updated it in the past few days

Please check and and add the actual number. RetroPie is updated continuously and 'current version' has no meaning without any numbers behind it.

@mitu

Sure thing, will do man. Thanks for your help.Greatly appreciate it

Gunner14

@mitu

Currently sitting on 4.4.2 although this is from a fresh flash.i have updated prior to flashing with the same result

mitu

@Gunner14 Please update and make sure you have 4.4.5 as the version.

Gunner14

@mitu

Updated but its now saying v1.65 final?

mitu

@Gunner14 Hm, that's not a current RetroPie version. What image did you use to install your system - please add a few details as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Gunner14

@mitu

I didnt think so either.it was a system i purchased from a company and after everything went pear shaped,they sent me the image to fix it

mitu

@Gunner14 Look, we don't support 3rd party images, especially the ones sold with ROMs. If you want support here in the forums, please install the image from retropie.org.uk/download.

@mitu

mitu

@Gunner14 What problem are you referring to ?

Gunner14

@mitu
