      @mitu I went through the process of exiting emulation station and installing the scraper. I selected the gameand watch folder and attempted to scrape the games. It said games have been scraped but when I went back to emulation station there were no images for them. I don't know if it just did't find images or if somehow they didn't stay. I read the part about doing your own scraping. I am not sure how to do this as the instructions are a bit confusing and I am new to this sort of thing.

      @darknior I don't think our script is what you need then. You might want to look into Skyscraper that muldjord is working on. I can't remember if he ever added the ability to use our synopsis or not, but he was willing to do it.

      The script that meleu's been tweaking does it all. There's no way to just convert the synopsis.txt files to xml files with it. Even if there were, I don't know how this would save you any time.

      I'm afraid that you're going to end up spending tons of time making xml files that you don't need to. It really doesn't take that long to follow the instructions and set up your media correctly. You can then run the script and let the pi make every gamelist.xml for every system that it currently handles. It would take about 16 hours on a Pi Zero and would probably be much quicker on a Pi 3.

      Not bad, considering if I were to do it all by hand it would probably take me 2 or 3 thousand hours to write them.

      It's up to you though. :)

      Good to see people's interest! I'm having a hard time with Super Nintendo as the number of games is just insane for that system!!! Yet I'm making progress and I won't let it go before it's 100% done.

      By the way if you know some good places to get box arts in good definition for that system that would be great. Especially the Japanese box arts as they're extremely hard to find in decent quality. Thanks!
