    If hit Start to scrape using the built in scraper when it is set to "thearchive" instead of "thegamesdb" RP freezes instantly. Is this database not supported any longer, I'm not seeing it on the Scraper Git page? If not maybe we should remove the option. I understand that Steven's scraper is far superior but the built in one is handy for those small number game additions.

      It freezes for me as well. I too use the built-in scraper for those few that the command line scraper misses.

        @opensourcefan the archive has never worked for me, but yeah I dont even know why its an option anymore. probably cause emulationstation development is dead so makes sense there are obsolete things in there still
