    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.

        https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9486/gengal-gamelist-xml-generator?_=1590434755524

        Hope this helps
