      @snapouille, have you found SVG files for all of the other controllers? Would you mind sharing where you got them? I can look at those and possibly create some SVG files for these that you are looking for...

      @theotherdan

      Thank you. This was caused by the environment though. I was booting into PIXEL desktop before launching EmulationStation. This configuration prevents quite a few things to function as expected.

      @denzela I would consider running a badblocks check on the SDCard. Simply rebooting the machine shouldn't make the images suddenly start to show as you describe.

      Please re-read the forum rules - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules. There's no ROM sites discussions here.

      @tpr said in Using ES Scraper - How can I automatically save images to ROM folders? png to ico:

      Is there a way to force the built-in scraper to use those directories?

      No, there is no option for the built-in EmulationStation scraper to change the download location. If space is a concern, then you can symlink the downloaded_images folder to a folder on the external drive.

      Thank you very much for the explanation.

      This is probably what you are looking for.

      https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper

      It’s available as a package in, I think, ”optional”.

      @mitu Ok, I'll give Skyscraper a try.

      It looks like they're listed under "Atari 8-bit" instead of calling it Atari 800, maybe because it included all versions of the 400/800 system?

      Thanks for fishing this out, and hopefully will be an easy fix for you and the team.

      Best,

      JR

      We don't support 3rd party images, especially the ones loaded with ROMs - as are the ones that you're trying to choose from. Use the image from retropie.org.uk/download and follow the installation instructions from the Docs.

      If you're hard pressed on time, I recommend you get your brother friend a ready made console, like one of the mini consoles released by Sega/Sony/Nintendo, which come already installed and with the games included.

      Disregard. I figured out the issue. I originally downloaded a Romset and it had a Gamelist included. So I guess if a gamelist is already in the rom folder, it ignores the one in config.

      Sorry for the inconvenience.

      Thank you for replying @mitu

      I mean the folders that store the game art, video snaps and wheel art.

      Leave them on the SD card then change the metadata in the gamelist.xml file to point to the Roms folder on the SD card.

      @mitu Ah, since @MISTERHOLLYW00D wrote that he knows that kodi or ports could be added to the main carousel, I though @BuZz's answer only pertained to game roms.

      FAT32? That is only the Partition with the Bootloader, the regular OS Partitions are Ext4.
      Maybe this here Berryterminal: Adding your own custom operating systems to the menu could be useful.

      Make sure you specified the correct path where you copied the images when you edit the game. Can you post the gamelist.xml file for the system where you added the images on pastbin.com ? We can check if there are any incorrect paths there.

      @mitu Very true! Perhaps he's missed his nap and has gotten a little fussy.

      I actually just did something similiar which worked perfectly. I just took an in game video clip with my phone. I installed the Pixel environment. I uploaded it to youtube. Then used youtube2mp3 to convert it to an mp4. I downloaded it to the pi via Pixel. renamed it to the game name-video.mp4. Placed it in the images folder. Then i rebooted and selected the game and edited the meta data with the file path under video. Then saved and exited. Works perfectly. Now i can do that on the other 3 games i do not have videos for and the ones that wont play and i should be golden.

      Why not just use Steven selphs scraper? Works great, even with videos
