In the Configuration Menu, under 5 (console Source) I hate thegamesDB selected

mitu

@Cat I think this option is no longer valid (https://github.com/sselph/scraper/issues/245). Try using the other console source (ScreenScraper).

Cat

I'm doing that right now. But with this option, I get errors as well. Sorry for mere photo-screenshot quality.

Is that due to me not being registered somewhere?

Edit: There was a third option, apparently some open Database, OpenVGDB, which I selected and that one worked. Plus, it was really fast. Maybe that could qualify for some kind of PSA? For newcomers, perhaps?

Thanks anyway @mitu

When the server is busy, it limits the connections to only registered users. You can of course register on their site and add the user/password to your command line, but this would also contribute to their load. You can re-try again later, of course - or you can use Skyscraper which can scrape from TheGamesDB.
I would recommend Skyscraper, but take a look at the doc page - and the Skyscraper docs page - to understand how it works, it's a bit different than SScraper, but has great results and fantastic output.

EDIT: if other sources work, it's also fine - you can retry later ScreenScraper if you want also videos.

Cat

@mitu Thanks, will definitely try out Skyscraper! Videos, cool. Lot's of stuff to be done. Great

I hate to tell you, but there is NO "skyscraper" in experimental

mitu

@bleckman Of course there is, as long as you're using a recent (i.e. updated in the last 5 months) RetroPie version.

bleckman

IM using 4.4 and the current version is 4.4

That happens a lot after updates - here you go =>
