You're right. I just picked a set of mp4 files and didn't look at them.
They are from a LaunchBox scraped set and have different file names.
I found the matching name set and it works just fine.
@Lolonois I now have an issue where it's scraping some systems and not others, and when I scrape individual systems, some of the scraped systems are undone.
@sleve_mcdichael Well, it took awhile. But I did as you suggtested and wrote it using the retropie buster that you linked, reinstalled everything as before. The stephen selph wont install anymore, keeps popping an error. But I was able to use the built in one (Not the one in the main interface but the one through the alternate packages section) and it worked this time!
Thank you!
@mitu I guess It is your prerogative. No worries at all. It is the learning process which is the most interesting part, and giving back to the community with no interest in profiting at all.
@Deathweaver .svm files should go in the main scummvm folder, not within the games' individual sub-folders:

@Crush That is also an option, but sometimes I'd rather get everything scraped on a separate hard drive. Just makes me feel more secure in various ways. I'm probably just silly.
@mitu nice one... My concern is about heavily customized setups (for example mine) where I have one directory per Arcade manufacturer (although they use the same emulator, they have a different theme setup for example), and directories do not necessarily match the system name, but I guess I can consider that as an edge case.
Just to be safe. In the Retropie setup I can create a config.ini for the Skyscraper. Do I understand it correctly that all default values are used, except for those that I switch on or off via the config.ini? So, for example, if I want to scrape the PC ROMs but not the subdirectories, do I just write --nosubdirs in the config.ini and trigger the process and leave all other settings at the default value?
@KpCollins hi, could I ask you to try with the scraper I'm developing? https://github.com/zayamatias/retroscraper
It should be working with dragon 32, although I have not tested it, so some testing would be appreciated.
Thanks!
*** Edit: just tried myself and it took less than 2 minutes to scan +530 ROMs, +400 succesfully found and video/image downloaded...
