      Hi, so I have recently tried to scrape medias for fbneo roms. It came to my attention that when there is no scraping, fbn game list is displaying the full no-intro game names without any issue. However, after scraping the game names of parent and child roms become the same and there is no way for both scraper to reuse the old no-intro game names to help differentiate the games. Can anyone help with this?

        Once you scrape, the names are replaced with the ones returned by the source site, so it depends on how the information is kept there. The no-intro name is generated by EmulationStation, so you might be able to keep it if you erase the <name> lines from the generated gamelist.xml (while ES is stopped) and starting EmulationStation back.

          Thx! That is actually a good interim solution.
