      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

          @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.

              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

                                          @AlexMurphy Who knows, but this trojan has been one of the worse world wide malware in a long time. It encrypts your disk and asks you to pay to "unlock" your files. I just ran it through wine (I'm on a mac) and nothing happened. So i booted windows, which is where i got the warning. It could possible to have it run a mac as wine does not hide the Mac file system, but mounts it as the Z:drive. But i shut wine down and deleted that bottle.

                                            @lostless It could be a false positive.
