[SOFT] Universal XML Scraper V2 - Easy Scrape with High Quality picture

@ExarKunIv So it's ok ?
@DynaMight try to check the "Unzip zip" checkbox in the general config ;) -
@screech No I didnt, I did see the option but didnt understand what it actually meant. All the roms are zipped. I'll try it tomorrow, but what does the option do/mean?
Thanks

Before the 2.2 UXS do this :
look for the file hash in the DB
if not found, look for the rom file name in the DB
if not found, unzip the zip file (if zip) and look for the first file hash in the DB
if not found, look for the first file name in the DB
if not found, look for the second file hash in the DB
if not found, look for the second file name in the DB
And so on till it found a match or do all the file in the zip...
It work nice on some case (specialy console)But it's horrible on other system (like Mame :S)
the unzip part is now an option you can activate or deactivate...
By default it's not activated because of that and to make a quick scrape..
it's faster but less precise because if not found in the 2 first case (Hash and filename of the zip)... it don't look further... -
Looking good @screech. I'll hopefully have a chance to check it out in a few hours. (and you release this just after I completed my custom Scrape and MIX Profiles too :D)
-
really sorry @mattrixk ^^
MIX profiles haven't change so normally it's ok ;)
For your Scrape profiles, send me the "old one" I'll adapt them to the "new" format if you want ;) -
@screech No worries mate. I'll didn't get the chance to play with it today, but I'll have a look soon. I only have about 30-40 minutes of free time a day (during lunch at work), so I have lots of stuff to fit in there, and some times l like to chill and watch YouTube or something.
-
WARNING : I confirm that the Kill emulationstation don't work :(
So you need to stop it manually till I correct that tonight...

@screech for some reason the new version is not scraping Wheel Art into the mix profiles for Arcade Zoom, and the Standard 2img sometimes scraps the wheel and sometimes not, it happens a lot now.
-
@Squilenator It's not just that mix profile either. The mix scraping is totally fubar in the latest version. I opened an issue ticket on github the other day so hopefully he fixes it soon. Until then I've gone back to the previous version and everything scrapes normally.
-
@screech Latest versions, including today's update, throwing "AutoIt error: Subscript used on non-accessible variable" and crashing after boot screen. 2.1.0.4 is the newest version that will run normally. :(
-
Loved using this tool !!!
For what it's worth, I've been using 2.1.0.6 perfectly for the last 2 weeks, and today is giving me the "Error: Subscript used on non-accessible variable" message, too. There have been no changes to my firewall settings.Also, when I click on the link above (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Universal-Rom-Tools/Universal-XML-Scraper/master/Ressources/ServerList.txt) it opens the browser with the text: "404: Not Found." Is that expected?
Thanks again for all your hard work. Amazing tool.
-
@yortdog I can see that file wirhout any problems. Maybe a proxy issue?
-
@paradadf : Not sure, but logged in this morning & it's working fine. Perhaps a localized network connection problem. I can see the text file now.
Sorry for the false alarm. The Universal_XML_Scraper64.exe program loads fine for me today.
-
@paradadf The file was not there when he posted it. I checked it myself.
-
Latest version still is not creating mix profiles properly. The 2.2 versions have been major downgrades both in GUI usability and stability.

Same "subscript used on non-accessible variable" error for me as well. Actually went back to the old non-updated version since the new version seems to crash more than the old...
-
@Dochartaigh I noticed that the new versions tend to miss a lot of roms that the old version does not. They're also slower and the interface has also become unnecessarily complicated (settings buried in submenus). I'm sticking with 2.1.0.4 for the foreseeable future.
-
I really like this tool. It works almost perfect, altough it seems it has issues with some characters in filnames.
When i look at the missing txt in my snes folder it has not scraped any roms with " ' " in it.I dont think its possible but it would be great if this tool would work on the pi itself from emulationstation. But im dreaming here ofcourse...
-
In the new version it seems to have moved the pictures and the XML file to a different location. How can I move them to the game folder again?
Configuration > advanced > Auto configuration Path configuration
Then what do I change the paths to, to make it like it was in previous versions?

@denisuu
Try this :In ProfilsFiles Folder, open Retropie.xml
Look for the section <AutoConf>
and replace it by :
<AutoConf> <Source_RootPath>\\retropie\roms</Source_RootPath> <Target_XMLName>%Source_RootPath%\%system%\gamelist.xml</Target_XMLName> <Target_RomPath>./</Target_RomPath> <Source_ImagePath>%Source_RootPath%\%system%\downloaded_images</Source_ImagePath> <Target_ImagePath>./downloaded_images/</Target_ImagePath> </AutoConf>
