      Hello all,

      I am using a pretty vanilla RetroPie setup: I'm on a Raspberry Pi3 running RetroPie 3.8.1 off a Micro SD. PS3 controllers, default theme, default everything.

      Everything has worked great for me until I try scraping my games/roms. The GUI scraper seems to be working fine until I try to choose/apply/INPUT a result. What I mean by that is the scraper loads, allows me to "skip" just fine, but when I try to "input", it will not allow me to apply any changes, but instead kicks me out of GUI, gives me a "Segmentation Fault," and dumps me into a prompt where I can not type despite a blinking cursor. (It pains me to unplug the thing without shutting down. Does anyone know a way around this? A way I can at least type sudo reboot?)

      Steven Selph's Scraper does not crash, but the only ROMs it scraped were arcade ROMs. For all my .n64, .nes, .a78, etc, it gave me an error "does not recognize image type" and skipped them. Mind you, this is much better than crashing, but I'm quite curious as to what is going on.

      Any ideas?
