MAME Gamelist - Update/scrape text (desc, players) only?
-
Wondering if anyone can help as I've been Googling this/searching the forums since last night, looking for a solution!
With regards to MAME and the gamelist.xml file, I had tried using the sselph scraper with results that weren't fantastic (but I've found it to be a brilliant scraper for consoles). So I essentially built an XML file using EmuMovies' brilliant Sync tool for all media.
The only issue I have now is, although every single game has perfect artwork, the XML has no metadata (number of players, description etc.).
Is there anyway I can scrape these games to update the XML with fields that don't currently exist?

@hoodle sselph scraper should be updated to support arcade italia's Mame DB. Are you sure you used the right search parameters when you scanned your Mame folder?

@rion I launched sselph through retropie_setup.sh (to avoid having to go through flags in terminal), and everything seemed to be set up correctly (Italia Mame DB was the DB I had selected)
