@hurricanefan No...or...I guess I should say...not from within retropie...but your best solution for your woes is probably using sselphs scraper to do batch scraping. I'm not going to tell you how many Arcade roms I have, but the sselphs scraper automatically identified and added images and data for all but 10% of the roms...so maybe 10 roms out of 100 wouldn't identify using this method...with the arcade. On the other hand, sselphs only recognized about 40% of the Genesis roms I have, so...it can be hit and miss too. Anyway, it is not really hard to access this scraper. Follow the tutorial here:

@muldjord ah, I misunderstood the point of it, then. Thanks.

I like how it shows everything. Really want to see what the game is like if i have no idea what it is.

@screech I disabled my Anti-virus and ran it with no success, I will try disabling the firewall later.

For informations, screenshot on screenscraper are in native résolution. Don't expect to have a full HD picture from a gameboy screenshot for exemple.

All picture you can found in 'better' quality are just a upscale of That.

@ward614 You can create an account on The Games DB and edit any records to add more details about the games.

@chromium I am having the same problem.

@lostless said in Copy scrape data from one RetroPie to another:

@JDubbedN
Maybe try it with emulation station shut down by pressing f4. Emulation station may be rewriting the game list files when you restart it.

@lostless That was exactly it! I even remember reading about this very same thing in the RetroPie wiki but had completely forgotten about it. Pressing F4 to close down Emulation Station and then transferring the respective files/folders over works perfectly. Thank you!

you can try with UXS : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5291/soft-universal-xml-scraper-v2-easy-scrape-with-high-quality-picture

@hansolo77
I would bet money that you have somewhere a broken (empty?) gamelist.xml.
Try to delete all instances of gamelist.xml on your system.
Or you could try to ES manually using parameter "--debug", then you should see the full path of the gamelist.xml ES is trying to read.

This is probably due to the .gdi being modified. If modified it creates a different md5 the what the scrapper is looking for. You could just use the ES scrapper and manually enter the name to bring it up but SS will always use and look for the TRUE md5 hash.

@tonberryhunter Yes you can edit game info and add cover art. You do have to wait for edits to be approved though

To sum up, you were right. My duplicate entries are due to the fact that I have the same game twice, but with a diffrente name (see example above) because it was released in another country.

All my issues are solve at the moment. I only have to take the time to manually remove the duplicate games.

Thanks for your help!!

Try using one of the alternative db sources rather than the default (wiki help is here https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/scraper)

Wow very useful tip. I am very new to all this.
Thank you very much!

Ok i delete the game boy images and gamelist via pixel desktop with file browser. It wrote that it moved them to wastebasket. Where is the wastebasket? I want to undo the delete.
