      Is there a way to scrape box art within retropie without an internet connection. I have a ton of box art on my Pie but no way to get the games attached to their box art.

        I think Skyscraper has an option to generate a games list with imported data:

        https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/blob/master/docs/IMPORT.md

        ...but this option is self defeated, since you would need internet to download skyscraper to retropie. :D

          There are a few game list generators that will create a game list from your art and roms and put them nicely together is a .xml file.

          I have heard good things about Gengal though I have not used it myself.

          Hope this helps
