      So I have some Japanese SNES roms translated into English and last night I was scraping each individual game from within Emulation Station without much of an issue. Today nothing (properly named US roms) seems to be scraping at all within ES. Sselph's Scraper works from the CMD line but it cant find these fan translated roms. Hopefully someone here has some insight.

      Thanks

        @tonberryhunter ES scraping has been spotty for me the past couple of days. One thing that helped was going to thegamesdb.net website and seeing exactly how the game was titled and entering that in the "input" line on your scrape search.

            Yeah it was fine the next day. I'm guessing it was a server issue on their end. Do you know if there is a way to submit proper art to the site? I noticed a few things that scrapped weren't really accurate.

              @tonberryhunter Yes you can edit game info and add cover art. You do have to wait for edits to be approved though
