      I've used skyscraper extensively and it's my favorite scraper. If it can't find anything from scraping the online sources then I'll scrape art I've imported and that gets the job done. I've decided to add Supergrafx roms and skyscraper isn't doing anything. I have them in a folder labeled "supergrafx", and they show up fine in emulationstation and will play perfectly, but it seems that skyscraper doesn't seem to know that even the folder exists. When I go to scrape it, it immediately goes back to the skyscraper setup screen. Anyone know what could be going on? Thanks in advance for the help.

        Skyscraper doesn't know about this platform - try using the pcengine folder for this. You probably added this as a custom folder - right ?

          @mitu I did, and that would make sense. I suppose I could scrape them from the PC engine folder and simply move the media files and edited gamelist over to the Supergrafx folder, would that work? I'll have to give it a shot tomorrow.

            I think that if you use the option to store the media in the ROM folder, the path(s) to images/videos will be relative to the ROM folder, so you can scrape the folder as pcengine, then just rename it back to supergrafx and it should work.

              @mitu Ah, I like that. I actually do have everything in the rom folders because I keep the files on an SSD, so I think that will be way easier than my idea. Actually I'll try both because I'm curious if they'll both work, and I'll tell my results here in case it helps anyone else in the future that gets themselves in a bind like I did.
