@Folly Hi, just fixed the formatting of the xml, so now it looks nice when editing (although it will not change the validity of the xml itself).
I just tried and I got a pretty xml !
Though I get these errors from emulationstation :mmal: mmal_vc_component_create: failed to create component 'vc.ril.hvs' (1:ENOMEM) mmal: mmal_component_create_core: could not create component 'vc.ril.hvs' (1) mmal: mmal_vc_component_create: failed to create component 'vc.ril.hvs' (1:ENOMEM) mmal: mmal_component_create_core: could not create component 'vc.ril.hvs' (1) mmal: mmal_vc_component_create: failed to create component 'vc.ril.hvs' (1:ENOMEM) mmal: mmal_component_create_core: could not create component 'vc.ril.hvs' (1) mmal: mmal_vc_component_create: failed to create component 'vc.ril.hvs' (1:ENOMEM) mmal: mmal_component_create_core: could not create component 'vc.ril.hvs' (1)
I just tried also my "pretty" reformatted one which will give the same now.
Not sure why it reports these errors.
Edit :
I turned off the gamelist for archimedes, turns out this issue remains.
So it's probably not from your gamelist.xml after all. -
@Folly Hi! Good to hear...
My scraper grabs information from various sources on the internet...but it also has a system of learning when something is missing and trying to update missing information whenever possible. The more people scraping the roms with my scraper the better this learning feature works. I also manually update the DB every so often, so keep your scraping coming :-)

I could place the files on my google-drive for you.
Is that easy enough ?Yes. That would be excellent.

@duglor Hi, I think you make a valid point. I just started working on a smaller version that could be inserted into the retropie-setup environment and used directly from there. Is going to take a while so hang on tight!
Thanks for the feedback!

@duglor Ok that was faster than expected:
https://github.com/zayamatias/retroscraper-rpie
Let me see how it works for you, I need to understand if the documentation in the repository is clear enough for everybody :-)
Thanks!

If you feel up to it I recommend to try the slimmed down version Of @kiro first.

No problem. The other scrapers need competition. It makes things better in this area (emulation) :)

@duglor you can use the flag --systems Archimedes and only that one should be scanned. Maybe I should put the command options more clearly 🙂
-
@kiro Oh, then i will try it later today. It's our anniversary!! be well!!
-
@kiro @Folly Can someone try this first before I do? I am just getting close to fixing all the nonsense that happened to my Pie from using an experimental installation.
Or Kiro, can you paste me the commands exactly as i should type them in to just scrape archimedes large image box covers? Even proper spacing? Also, if the names of my roms are not in the format of game -nation..etc...the new standard...will your scraper guess at them?
be well and sorry for the hesitancy. - anxious old man

python3 retroscraper.py --systems archimedes

The scraper has been improved very much.
@kiro and I are working on it to get it even better.I am sharing here my archimedes scrape, temporarily :
(will remove it later !)
google-drive link removed
Just place the files in :
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/archimedesAnd use the extracted files from the archimedes.zip from the mame_sl romset.

@Folly I got it, thank you.
