      How does the built in scraper find the game images at TheGamesDB.net? I have some of the classic Atari 2600 roms pulled from AtariAge and the data isn't being picked up. When I go and search at TheGamesDB I find the games, so I know they are in the db...

      Is there something I can do to "help" the scraper? Maybe a file to tell it rom-name to TheGamesDB.net game number or something?

      #scraper
      #atari2600

      Thank you!!

        One of the games is Adventure

        Rom is named: ADVNTURE.BIN
        The game is listed here at the db: http://thegamesdb.net/game/2570/

        Thanks again!

              I got it to work! I re-ran it multiple times using Append and different DBs..All roms are tagged except for one!
