      I use Skyscraper to scrape my roms. Now, of course, all of them are never found and I have already added my own data (at least screenshots) to the list by importing it.

      However, I still have questions that I couldn't answer myself:

      • a game that was not found will be checked again by the Skyscraper during the next Scrapingt run. If the rom now has a cryptic filename (Adventure_ver2222_de_xred) does that have anything to do with it? Or is the game found using a hash or something similar?

      • if it has something to do with the filename, I would have to change the name so Skyscraper has a chance to find it. Do I then have to rename the rom, vacuum the system from the cryptic rom, then regenerate the gamelist, scrape again? Or what is the procedure here?

      • do you have to regenerate the game list after a vacuum run?
