      I scraped all my systems with Skyscraper and all was fine. I then decided that I would prefer a different setup for the scraped images so I modified the setup file and scraped 'Arcade' only. It didn't create different images it just stripped all the images from from 'Arcade' (certainly this was an error on my part when modifying the config file). Now I can scrape any system fine except 'Arcade' which refuses to scrape properly. It downloads images and there are images in the cache but they do not show up on screen.

      Can anyone give me a little advice?

      Currently running:
      Retropie 4.8.9 on a Pi Zero 2W (Overclock Settings: CPU 1400Mhz)
      ES-DE on a GMKtec K6 (Windows 11, 32GB RAM)

        Did you run the step to generate the gamelist after scraping ?

          @mitu Yes. It all works fine for every other system. Only 'Arcade' is broken.

          I just did a scrape of Amiga, Arcade and N64 at the same time and Amiga and N64 updated without issue.

              Thanks @mitu. Good news. I looked around but I couldn't find a log file but while I was looking I found a gamelist file and a videos folder in my Roms/Arcade folder. I deleted them and regenerated the gameslist in Skyscraper. The Arcade section now works perfectly.

              Thanks again
