      Hi there

      I have used skyscraper to scrape the roms for my arcade machine. It seemed to struggle my SNES roms for some reason.

      I have an account and I am a paid member of skyscraper but it seems to struggle with the SNES.

      I have over 800 games and it successfully scraped 50!! I have checked the file and all roms are .smc like they should be.

      Any help appreciated.

        You mean you've donated to ScreenScraper ?

        There's more than just the extension that's considered - especially since ScreenScraper (and Skyscraper) use checksums to validate the ROMs.

        As I said in the other topic - please provide some clear examples of ROMs that are not scraped and also provide the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

          @mitu yes I pay $5 per month.

          I will validate with checksums to see if anything stands out. I will give some examples of roms later on.
