@dankcushions Thank you. Great to know.

I tried using inputFolder for both [nes] and [atari2600], but neither seemed to do much

The scraping dialog that you start from RetroPie-Setup doesn't read your .ini file to look for folders, but expects the standard RetroPie folder structure.

If you changed the folder in the .ini file, run the scraper manually:

/opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper/Skyscraper -p nes -s screenscraper ... other flags ...

EDIT: just to make it easier, you can probably symlink the folders from your SMB mounted drive to the actual RetroPie folders, i.e.

/mount/network/Arcade -> $HOME/RetroPie/roms/arcade /mount/Consoles/Atari Xyx -> $HOME/RetroPie/roms/atari5200 /mount/Consoles/Nintendo Entertainment System -> $HOME/RetroPie/roms/nes etc.

@breadpie Looks like it, and thanks again for that. Time to put this to use.

I wanted to get meta data for all my Favorites and using the scraping tools seems overkill for this unless I find out how to scrape just a game at a time. Scraping MAME with 30,000+ roms will take an insane amount of time and space when I really just care about say, 150 titles there, plus the various console titles.

@BillyH You can also press F4 and type the following command: df -h /
This will show you how big the sd card is and how much space is left.

Also if your Pi is conntected to Wifi, then you can open Windows explorer on your computer and type \\RETROPIE in the top bar to see what is inside the roms and bios folders (and make changes).
