@Folly I got it, thank you.

Thank you mitu ....now I remember !!

@PanzerDude92 No, it's using the ScreenScraper site for scraping.
I'm not sure if scraping from TheGamesDB has been fixed in the stable release, the development branch for sure has a fix for the TGDB scraper. What version of EmulationStation are you using ?

Launchbox is free unless u want to use premium features. The free without premium features is still better than emulation station

@denzilla try scraping again but selecting megadrive instead. disregard the fact the Genesis folder exists at all.

@mitu thank you. I did try changing sources with Steve's scraper, but I still get nothing.

I'll do the upgrade and see what happens.

Scraped again and changed it to use the rom directory for images and gamelist. Now they most of the images and Metadata are there. Just an update for anybody else who has this issue.

I'm having the same hiccups since updating to 4.4 (4.3.17 practically) but it could be a "nocebo" effect due to the hefty amount (45GB) of titles, box art and videos (unrelated to the RCA topic I made previously).

I'm pretty sure though that things were slightly faster before (3B with 4.3 instead of 3B+ with 4.4) and that "hang for 5 seconds" thing I'm too having didn't happen until 4.3.16/17. To put it in a sentence, navigation feels a bit more laggy and stiff than before.

However, I'm not having the second part of adm166's problem with images showing grey, etc which sounds like a VRAM issue.

So EasyHax pointed out to me that any gamelist.xml file in the roms directory will override the one in the .emulationstation/gamelists/ directories. Sure enough I found a 0 byte gamelist.xml file in the snes roms directory. It HAD to be something this simple...

@mitu Thank you very much for pointing that out! Turns out when I setup my static IP address I typo'd the DNS server address.

I did a sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf which showed be the DNS was 10.0.01

I then did: sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf and noticed that I had the same typo on my wifi IP settings. Fixed the typo, rebooted and I'm in business.

Also, another poster was right, even though I have ROMS on the USB drive running the scraper from retropie-setup.sh works great.

Thanks for the help!

Pi Model or other hardware: RP3
Power Supply used: 2.5
RetroPie Version Used : 4.3.4
Built From: downloaded original retropie image
USB Devices connected: keyboard, 1 controller

There is a command line flag but it isn't exposed in the RetroPie-setup script -mame_img and -console_img These accept an ordered list of image preferences which RetroPie-setup sets to -mame_img="t,m,s" and -console_img="b" So the order is Title, Marquee, Snap for mame. You can exit EmulationStation and run this from the command line with something like this but cd to the rom folder you want to scrape.

cd ~/RetroPie/roms/mame /opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper -mame -mame_img="s,t,m"

More detail about all the flags is at

/opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper -h

@IWANIAK

has anyone experienced this?

With these types of things, there are usually cases to be found where others have experienced similar issues. However, your case may be different. It will be much easier to help you specifically if you post the requested information about your setup found at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Lately there has been some issues with the scraper itself and it sometimes didn't got the images from the site, so maybe just try again to see if it works.
If not you can maybe try and look on screenscraper.fr to see if your roms have the right names. By default It uses hashes and names to get the images but if both are wrong you get nothing.
Sadly there is no way (yet) to create the Mix images from local files but @screech has that on his ToDo list but we have to wait for that.

If there are no images for certain games you have the option to upload some, but i'm not sure how exactly that works.

Another added to the collection this evening. Quite a poor quality UK scan, so pleased with how it came out:

I recreated the logo in Illustrator too. I did create a second vector to use as a white drop shadow on the logo, as I was working on the logo from a US box originally-didn't realise there was no white drop shadow on the UK box until I'd finished. I added the drop shadow filter in PS, which doesn't make it as dark as the original as you can still see some of the white, but I don't think it looks too bad. And, you don't really see the box blown up full screen anyway, so I'm not too fussed. I dropped the really badly placed screen shot too, it's not uniform to the other UK boxes and looks so out of place-i think it looks better without it.

It's not 100% accurate-time will tell if I can live with the differences or not!

:: Edit::

Yeah, couldn't leave it. Done it with the black drop shadow-I think it works better:
