@Tackskull The gamelist.xml needs to have the assignments for each and every piece of media. If its a new .xml it won't have any direction to the scraped graphics. I'm sure there must be a way for it to work, in emulationstation there is an option for local media, I don't know what that means but I always thought it was something like that. In skyscraper there are options for local media, but I don't know if it would work like that without the cached database for everything.

@mottosys Please provide more info about your system, as asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Which scraper is not working ? RetroPie has a few scrapers installed now - are you talking about the Emulationstation scraper or the external scraper(s) ?

Yes. This is simply about waiting for the server to not be overloaded if not registered user. I've seen the 'V' now as well as messaging about not being a registered user. Evenings are working best in my particular time zone.

Hi All New version available : 1.7.6.5 (06/10/2019) Added translation of the interface in Chinese (thank you Lyon00) 1.7.6.3 (06/10/2019) The logs are centralized in a subdirectory (logs_arrm) of the selected system. When 'Keep rom name' is checked, 'Add disk' & 'clean name' are disabled Database update: rom / core arcade compatibility (BestArcade4Recalbox-19-05-09). Add in the tools tab of a textbox to modify the compression parameters of pngequant (request of Ismaily T. M. on the JujuVinceBros facebook page) Added in the tools tab a button 'Update Best Arcade Core' to update the database with the best core arcade based games. Uses the files 'fba_libretro.csv', 'mame2003.csv', 'mame2010.csv' from BestArcade4Recalbox-19-05-09 list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1F5tBguhRxpj1AQcnDWF6AVSx4av_Gm3cDQedQB7IECk/edit?usp=sharing. These files are located in '%appdata%\nexouille soft\arrm\database'. The 'Update Core' button uses this database. 1.7.6.1 When adding disk taking into account of [Part x of x] in the file name When adding disk taking into account references memory sizes (16k) (48k) (128k). I use it for my collection of Roms Zx Spectrum which proposed 3 sizes different memories and therefore slightly different Roms. Taking into account the video during a recompose image if the video file is present (Jay's request) Ability to add a video manually to a Rom via the 'Video' button in the game card (Jay's request) Ability to stop the various treatments applied to selected Roms. Ability to modify the timeout value on web requests (via the 'Tools' tab). Increase the value when scrap server is overloaded. Use the 32bits or 64bits version of pngequant (compressor PNG) depending on your environment. When recovering Video only, '4 images' mode does not need to be activated. Ability to recover the 'cartridge' as the default image. When launching a scrap with overlay, the previous file "missing_overlays% SYSTEM% .txt" is saved with the current date. Added the SNES CD template 1.7.5.4 (05/18/2019) Fixed a bug that crashed the application when duplicate search returned too many items. Fixed bug when searching with keywords and with filters Changed path for systems overlay path for recalbox in 'overlays_path.txt' file : /recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/overlays changed to /recalbox/share/system/.config/retroarch/overlays Download Link : http://jujuvincebros.fr/telechargements2/file/10-arrm-another-recalbox-roms-manager use 'Mirror Link1' if you get an 'Invalid Token' error message.

I finally got it!!! As a matter of self-defense, I run a pi-hole as my DNS server. Well, after reading another post referencing turning off the firewall, it gave me the idea to bypass my pi-hole. Once I did that, it was working as it should. I know the author has abandoned this program, but I really wish he'd come back and put some better error messages in it. Line 26511 doesn't help me. "Hey, I can't get out" would have helped me a great deal and saved me a lot of time and aggravation

I’m using the later version (3.1.4). Think I’ve got it working, did a manual command and it’s doing it. I used thegamesdb.

@bleckman said in stephen selph's Scraper Error Hash not found, emptry Picture boxes: I updated but now It won't auto-log in I have to do it every time I restart the REtropie That happens a lot after updates - here you go => https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/18591/asking-for-retropie-login-on-boot-after-update/15

@retronick said in Screenscraper error API closed for non-registered members: @thelostsoul I had ALLOT of trouble trying to figure this out. I tried to use /opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper ss_user myusername Which seemed to work but didn't resolve it. The way I got it to work was to go to /opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/skyscraper and edit the config.ini file. In that document there is a line that says #userCreds="user:password" and a line above it that I altered to just say [screenscraper]. Then I removed the hashtag symbol from both lines, added my user and password in and saved it. It solved the problem and seems to be working no trouble. Thank you - followed your insructions and now it works.

@BillyH If you haven't fiddled with the RA's configuration, the save files would stay alonside your ROM files, in the roms sub-folders. Once you access the file shares (\\retropie\roms), you can easily check the contents of those folder and see your save files (most of them have the .srm extension).

@Tomato22 said in Scraping not working: When i try to update my emulationstation package it seems to not be working What is the error you're getting when you update ? Also, please add the info requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first to your post.

Appreciate your help, got in with the last command! When I go to scrape now I get this error for quite a few games. ERR: error processing /home/arcade/RetroPie/roms/gamegear/Arena (USA, Europe).gg: hash not found

@mitu ok I will read and review the post you sent me, as always thank you for the asist best regards wolfzrat

@mitu Tested, confirmed working with Universal XML scraper

@ClassicGMR Aha. I suppose that happened some time ago, because right now the scraper doesn't work with the new TDGB API/Site. You might want to re-scrape those entries (or the whole list) using another source site (ScreenScraper) or - if you have a recent Emulationstation - scrape them using the internal ES scraper (from either TGDB or Screenscraper).

Thanks for the update. Even better would be to add a [Solved] before your thread's title. You can do that by editing your first post.

@mitu thanks for the info mitu! I completed my list over the years, but maybe this will be helpful when i find some more exotic games :)

Thankyou for the response looks like good progress has been made. Dwarfboysim

@Lumbeechief081 So, if you don't do it already, now that you've learned how quickly you can lose all the work you did is the perfect time to start making backups. 😉
