Ok, I understand the process here, what I don't agree with is the fact that saving the configuration implies overwrite it as a whole, instead of just update changed values and leave unchanged ones as they were. This make SplashScreen and others unreliable, as they can be easily removed by mistake with just changing a single setting through the UI. Just my two cents. Anyway, thank you for the --nosplashscreen flag advice.

@mitu That's what I thought as well, and that's why I found it really strange.

i opened a topic of the scraper that wasnt working at all (thanks for the help :) ) as i "succeded" or at least partially to make it work i though it would be something for another topic, no?

@tomaz Thanks for taking a look.

problem solved ,i was using a 360 pad and that was the problem, plugged in innext controller and worked 1st time . thanks for your help

I did briefly explore the idea of disabling the rendering of the system view. The problem is the slide transition. While transitioning, there is a small window of time where you need to render the gamelist and the system view. I didn't think about disabling the extras for the non-selected systems. That is another option to look at.
