Skyscraper 3.13.1 installed via Retropie Setup

Hi, new install and when I tried to install Skyscraper and run via command, I get the error:

This is the command I have used in past builds to get it to scrape:

Skyscraper -p nes -s screenscraper -u xxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxx

Of course the xxx's are my credentials exed out. :)

A new installation will copy the peas.json (a configuration file needed by the newer Skyscraper version) to /opt/retropie/configs/all/skyscraper. Can you check if you have that file in the folder ?

I just checked and a fresh install doesn't have this kind of error and scraping works fine. Do you have an up-to-date RetroPie installation ? If you have an old RetroPie version, which doesn't know about the files needed by the newer Skyscraper versions, you could get this error.

@mitu Thank you for looking. It does not appear that I have that file.

Update your RetroPie installation and re-install Skyscraper, you will get rid of that error after that.

@mitu Thank you! I uninstalled skyscraper, simply updated the setup script and then reinstalled. Working! Again thank you for your help!

FTR, the RetroPie version 4.8.6 onwards deploys the configurable platform information (peas.json). The upcoming Skyscraper release 3.14 will assess the RetroPie Setup version and will provide the hint on how to proceed if a older version of RetroPie Setup is found.
