      @Efriim Just to confirm, I change 'SCP/Shell' to 'Shell: sudo su-'

      Is this correct? I don't want to make a mess of the sensitive files.

        Then don't change it to sudo su -. Please don't use the root account for everyday operations.

          I may have exaggerated the Cooling System. I lowered the cpu clock speeds on my 3b+ so as not to need a fan, and it emulates most everything just as well.

          Yeah sudo su- will work with SCP protocol only, it is just a two-pane file manager. Except with linux files and folders have important attributes and there is nothing to safeguard against deleting important operating system files.

            But if you gotta set a wallpaper, then its probably the way to do it. The themes are all written a little differently and some have extra assets to customize with, they are in the folder /etc/emulationstation/themes/ the backgrounds are usually in the _asset, or _art folder.

                    @Efriim Good day sir. Hope you are well. I used the skyscraper website to scrape my videos etc. Although this is a fantastic resource, it missed a hell of a lot of games. To be fair, I was scraping 13000 titles but it missed 750 games out of 800 for my snes system which I was shocked about. Im thinking it may be worth scraping one system at a time.

                      @Lugzyboy82 Screenscraper has imposed some limits for non-authorized users on the number of scrape requests. I'm also shocked that 750/800 might not be a good success ratio when your total scrape volume is 13.000.

                          In this case please open a topic with details if you want to find out why. Include the information asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first and give a few example ROMs that are not successfully scraped.
