scraper

@Naters-CNF That provided some useful information. :) You're not scraping from the retropie menu then. You are scraping from the EmulationStation menu using the built-in scraper. I am not sure how it fares with TheGamesDb.
I would recommend using one of the scrapers from the retropie menu instead. I recommend reading the link I provided at the top. It will describe it all in detail and if you do it correctly, it will help you populate your games with metadata quite easily. Please read my Skyscraper comment at the top as well if you choose to use that.

yeah, looks like the scrapers are down again. I tried both screenscraper and gamesdb. to the OP, it has happened before. it's not just on your end.

@StigNasty
So to clarify does this mean that I can't currently scrape games? -
I have now learned there are 2 scrapers.
Steven Selph's and skyscraper
which do you recomend? -
@Naters-CNF the two is great and works so it's just a matter of what suits you best

@Mr-Berlin
ok thanks alot for the help -
So I actually tried both scrapers and neither actually worked
Now I definetly don't know what to do -
@Naters-CNF its not you, the servers are overloaded right now.
nothing im using is working right now either.
you just have to try them off and on through out the day to see if you can get through. -
Okay
thanks -
I use openretro for images, and screenscraper for info. Then execute de "generate game list"
