SSH into EmulationStation?
-
I got the new scraper from your link. how do I use it?
-
managed to use SS now, but still "ERR: error processing gb/Mega Man 4.gb: hash not found"
and super mario world is still "brutal mario". how is that? I thought I had changed the source by using scraper -use_gdb=false -use_ss=true -
Brutal Mario is a Super Mario World hack and not the original game. Sound like you have the wrong ROM. Try downloading a different version of SMW.
-
I definitely have the original (normal) mario world. but it is recognized as brutal mario.
sonic 2, mega man 4... all basic games where no scrap data is found?!
-
@naddel81 you might need to go into EmulationStation and press the Select button when Brutal Mario is highlighted and delete the current metadata for that game and then restart to make sure it remember the deletion. If so, then run your scraper on it again.
Also if that doesn't work, I'd still recommend downloading different ROMs from a different site if you can (including the Sonic 2 and MM4) to make sure you didn't get some weird variant of those games.
-
will try that. thanks for the advice!
-
Look inside the gamelist for the game id. Most likely that data is coming from OVGDB, as there isn't a "Brutal Mario" in SS.

last scrape I did was using this command here: "scraper -use_gdb=false -use_ss=true"
I thought that would scrape all the games using another source?
-
are the games not scraped by their name when I scrape them manually and edit metadata?
-
There are 3 sources and currwntly the hierarchy is:
TGDB > SS > OVGDB
You can look into the gamelist and see from which source the data has been retrieved.
Can you look into that, please? -
here is my gamelist (SNES) and I cannot find anything unusual.
-
I can see clearly that the info isn't from SS... Compare your first entry for Aladdin with:
http://screenscraper.fr/gameinfos.php?gameid=2170 -
but what did "scraper -use_gdb=false -use_ss=true" do then?
-
I don't know. I use the software from my pc, not from the rpi.
-
how do you update your Retropie using a PC scraper?
-
I scrape entirely from my pc, don't use a Raspberry Pi for that.
-
and how does it work on your rpi? do you copy the data to the retropie after scraping?
-
Exactly!
-
so you overwrite the "downloaded images" folder and thats it`?
-
It appears to me as if you wouldn't know how the gamelists work. You have your downloaded images wherever you want and your gamelist.xml. Every entry on your gamelist corresponds to one single rom. There, you have the game pointing to one specific image. Overwriting your image folder doesn't mean that your gamelist is pointing to those images nor that you have images that aren't used.
If you want to know how I scrape my roms with sselph's scraper on my pc, take a look here:
