      I hate to say this, but sometimes it is just easier to manually enter the ones that the scrapers don't find. They are not always 100% accurate and complete. It is pretty easy to find the videos/images you need for the roms it misses....that is unless you are talking about 100's of misses!

        @kbronctjr Have you tried? I don't think it caused me any issues. I def have images, the 3 image mix from screenscraper for .pbp and I only use .pbp for PSX.

          The problem is the MIX images. I wish the program included a tool to create those mixes using our own image. In this case I could manually get the images from screenscraper an use them as an input in this tool.

          I'm gonna try in hash mode just in case

            @TMNTturtlguy Yeah, I like making my own images too.

              @kbronctjr well there are solutions for that as well, again not ideal, but if you have access to photoshop it is very easy to do. If you don't have photo shop there is a program called gimp, which is basically a free version of photoshop but not as user friendly. you can collect the images and simply layer them in gimp and save. Takes about 5 minutes of time to do each one. Not fun, but if you are missing 5 roms, it is nice to be able to complete your set.

                @TMNTturtlguy If you want something easy to use. GIMP can be a bit intimdating, try https://pixlr.com/editor/

                  Yeah I know, I just wanted to avoid wasting time, as I'm already wasting a lot of time downloading and re scraping games and downloading different themes. I spend more time doing this that actually playing haha

                  It would be nice to have a tool to build your own mixes included in this scraper, as it already has the algorithms to build them

                      @AlexMurphy I think photoshop is easier to use and more powerful than GIMP

                      Nice MIX you got there

                        @kbronctjr I meant for a beginner. GIMP can be a bit off-putting.And PhotoShop is PhotoShop... Just saying that there are easy on-line applications,

                            Side note, the latest version on git hub has the "wannacry" Trojan in it. Any one else get a warning?

                                      @lostless Okay, Thanks for the warning. I haven't updated UXS for about 3 weeks. Is github infected with this shite?

                                          I updated to the last version and Indeed I got a warning from Windows Defender but I just ignored. Anyway if your computer is up to date it shouldn't affect you. The problem is it could also affect your pie if it has shared files across samba
