      Hi!

      I am trying to add C64 using Selph's Scraper.
      These are the command lines i have tried to make it add the gamenames plus the images i have in the under folder "/images"

      I have about 7865 C65 games based on Hyperlist with over 7000 images that corresponds to the rom names.
      Example
      Rom name
      $100,000 Pyramid, The (USA).D64
      Image Name
      $100,000 Pyramid, The (USA)-image.jpg

      these are the parameters i have tried but cant get it to work.

      scraper -use_gdb false -use_ovgdb false -skip_check -add_not_found -download_images false extra_ext D64, G64, T64, TAP 
      

      Any insight?

          Yes i know. But it doesn't work just outputs this after execution..

          scraper -img_format=jpg -add_not_found=true -download_imag
          2016/05/04 18:07:42 INFO: Checking for new hash.csv.
          2016/05/04 18:07:43 INFO: hash.csv "e78ed94b3ec1dba65aedad5c1451026d" up to date.
          

          Doesn't createte an xml file or anything. ..

          Puzzled because it should just add them even if it cant find them in the db....

              @Rion If that is your full commandline it is wrong (or c&p failed - last parameter is incomplete)
