      @andrewh The Go binary installation is downloaded from https://storage.googleapis.com/, so you might want to whitelist it in your PiHole installation. Glad you got it sorted out.

      @jonnykesh Well, first you have to wait until your tomatoes are ripe. Then you wave a magnet over them and write down the the readings. OR you can plug in a headphone jack and listen for some AC/DC. If that doesn't work put voltmeter in the same puncture and see if you pick up any AC/DC or maybe Metallica. After that you throw everything in the trash. If you want to be environmentally aware you have to stop for a moment and notice the harm this will have as you throw it all in the trash. You have then scrapped the metaldata of your Romas. You can eat the tomatoes at that point.

      @caver01 I never thought about what "no holds barred" literally meant until reading it just now. "No holes barred" has to exist as some porno title.

      ...
      Being new I always read it in my head as scrape like you were scraping the top layer of information from various sources.

      I will admit that until recently I was pronouncing in my head libretro as some Spanish word I didn't under stand Libret-ro and not lib-retro (as in library retro)

      @2Play if you install windows 3.11 you need to choose /pcdos/ as the c: drive. Then do command “cd WINDOWS” Otherwise you will start installing all your windows games and software in the windows folder creating a huge disaster. There are a couple dos games you need to actually install the soundblaster drivers and set the c drive as /pcdos/ as well so it can find the soundblaster drivers folder. Personally i set my “pcdos” (i use a different name) folder as c: and “cd “game folder name”” on all games to avoid any conflicts.

      Sorry, there's a typo in the last comment. Use this command instead:

      for %a in ("*.mp4") do ffmpeg -i "%a" -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 23 -vf scale=320:240 -c:aa aac -b:a 80k -r 30 "converted\%~na.mp4"

      @usarmyvet said in NOOBS distro scraper issue and game saves:

      However, I now run into the issue where when I attempt a scrape, it kicks me out of emulation station and into terminal and says "no space allowed" . I was told its because its a NOOBS distro?

      Update all installed packages and try again. You might be using an older version of Emulationstation.

      Old thread, but this is what i did.
      Once the usb is setup and all files have copied move the scraper files to the retropie-mount folder on the USB.

      mv ~/.emulationstation/downloaded_images /media/usb/retropie-mount/ mv ~/.emulationstation/gamelists /media/usb/retropie-mount/

      Since retropie automounts the items in the retropie-mount dir into the ~/RetroPie/ dir we can create symlinks to point the that ~/RetroPie/ and no need to change the sources in the files.

      ln -s ~/RetroPie/downloaded_images/ ~/.emulationstation/downloaded_images ln -s ~/RetroPie/gamelists/ ~/.emulationstation/gamelists

      @Potatopops9 you would do better to open a new thread detailing your issue.

      @brainslugs83 said in Selph Scraper scrapes unknown ROMs as a PSP game called ".hack//Link" -- even for other systems.:

      I'm running version 4.3 of retropie, with the the scraper built from sources last night (2/7/18)

      If the issue remains, did you update the scraper recently? Because @sselph made some fixes for this problem six days ago.

      @Dwarfboysim I only had problems when trying to scrape PSX media. After scouring the internet i found this scraper to be the best.

      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19588/skyscraper-now-officially-part-of-retropie-please-test

      It will get you Cover art, disk art and video previews.

      Just make sure to read the tut carefully. It can be installed via the rasp-setup but it can only be ran once emulation station has been aborted/quit.

      You can either SSH/Use keyboard on pie to run it.
