No results when scraping PSP games?
-
@jplank I'm having the same issue, scrapping psp games doesn't seem to work. Has anyone else had any luck getting this to work?
-
@jplank is that using the inbuilt scraper? If that's not wording for you, you could try either the sselph scraper or UXS?
-
I've tried all three of those and none manage to get any results.
-
@jplank Very odd. I don't know if I've tried scraping PSP before. I'm in the process of trying to sort and collate my roms, but they're everywhere so it's taking a while. I'll give it a try once I'm done though. Screenscraper.fr has PSP games listed, so I don't know why UXS isn't working.
-
I don't know if the filenames matter at all, but if these are wrong or different this could be the problem
-
@DarkWolf My filenames are just the names of each game. The scrapers didn't have any problems with the others roms I have for other systems that were named this way.
-
@jplank which file type are your psp roms?
-
I have this problem as well.
-
@DarkWolf The files are in .iso format
Just as another data point, I posted this same question on https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/65yy2j/no_results_when_scraping_psp_games/dgendfd/ and someone mentioned that scraping did work, but on a previous version of retropie.

@jplank seems like sselph scraper doesn't support iso files.

That kinda sucks, haha

I basically had the same problem on 4.1 (using both the GUI and command line scraper) and ended up manually editing the file through a Metadata Editor for each psp game. For some reason they psp .iso's just throw off the scrapper.
-
@Triquick Do other formats scrape ok?
-
@jplank .bin files were reported to work quit well
-
@jplank Yeah, didn't have any problems with NES/SNES/GBA. Sure a couple of games where missed/unknown but the three psp games I had just did not work.

@jplank I read it somewhere in this issue post:
https://github.com/sselph/scraper/issues/30
it is for the scraper based on go for retropie by sselph (not the scraper you can install via retropie)
You could give that one a try if you haven't already

@DarkWolf Yeah, I've tried all three scrapers and haven't had luck with any. But, it's good to know that other formats work ok though, if it ends up that there really is no way to get iso's to scrape properly.
-
interesting about it being iso's all of mine are as well. Anyone know if you can use psx2psp to just turn them into pbp files the same way that you make multi discs for psx?
