    I have had no problem scraping with any other system, but I cannot get anything to work with Neo Geo. I only have experience with conventional systems (NES, MD, PCE, etc.) I haven't built up a library of anything else like any of the MAME options. Do those work differently as far as scraping goes? I have tried the built in scraper and the Steven Selph scraper and with both of them, nothing is ever found, and it goes so quickly it seems like it isn't even searching. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Pi Model: 3B
    RetroPie Version Used: 4.0.1
    Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
    USB Devices connected: iBuffalo Controller, Seagate external HDD, keyboard
    Controller used: iBuffalo
    Error messages received: None
    Guide used: None
    File: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/neogeo/XXXXXX.zip (XXXXXX=any neo geo title)
    Emulator: lr-fba-next
    Attachment of config files: ?
    How to replicate the problem: Happens every time I try to scrape Neo Geo

      https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Scrape-your-games-with-your-PC-(EN)

      or this which also talks about scraping Mame/FBA.

      https://github.com/sselph/scraper/blob/master/README.md

      I scraped all my mame/fba/neogeo games on my PC and just added the -mame in the command prompt when running the scraper and it worked fine. I imagine you could do the same directly from the Pi itself if your roms are on your SD card instead of an external hdd as mine are.

      hope this helps.
