    OK here are two brand new tests, with the exact settings and steps I am using:

    Exited Emulationstation and tried the scraper with default settings and it still didnt do anything- it instantly says complete.

    I then deleted the gamelists from both folders whilst emulationstation was closed.

    Ran the scraper in emulationstation again and this time it outputted a file which I could use. The only difference I did this time was made sure emulationstation was closed when I deleted the files- I thought I had done that before but maybe I hadnt and that was the difference.

    Weird that it doesnt work outside of emulationstation just for the SNES and weird that it just worked this time- I had tried for 2hours constantly trying different settings/combinations of trying to do it before. No idea why it worked this time but it worked so I'm happy now!

    Thanks for your advice

    okey.. so if i delete the "downloaded images" folder all the artwork should disapear?

    or should i leave the folder and just delete its content?

    still. strange that i cant find the xml-file with more than 5-10 games, dont u think?

    because i have about 300 - 900 games per console
