@sirhenrythe5th Maybe it's a combo of extra bandwidth usage and the time required to update them. I'm not sure. I ended up getting what I could from emumovies and then I used a batch renamer to rename them and mass edit the xml's to match that.

Before emumovies had acceptable scans (some are hit or miss like the pc-engine covers...) I did go overboard by getting the really big scans from the cover project. It was a long process because the cut/resize batch script in photoshop wouldn't always work correctly.

@muldjord success! I updated and scraped and all the culprits were found correctly (two weren't but they always were tricky ones to scrape so not an issue).

Many thanks for the heads up!

Correct.

Just for sanity checking, I'd see if you have any downloaded content in ~/.emulationstation/downloaded_images or gamelists and if so merge them with your current one on the USB drive - copy the images to the right folders, and you'll need to manually edit the gamelist content with a text editor to merge it. This will have been one-off scrapped content, though, so I don't expect it to be much.

Edit: oops, I see you already did it.

Hi Chris,

I have just started using Retropie and the Games DB is rubbish for Amstrad. Can i get a copy of yours and I'll add to it?

Thanks
Lee
