I used SkyScraper and then ScreenScraper as a source. SkyScrper can be found in Opt packages. You need to ensure that you enable video download and there is also an option to remove the data in () in the titles.

You will end up with something like the following:

After a few seconds on the that thumb, the video will start.

Decent tutorial on the app:

@clyde his accent is surprisingly Dutch when speaking English. The r’s for example.

@sergioggo96 said in Pegasus Frontend scraping issue:

But once i boot pegasus with this theme Switch OS it doesnt appear anything. Any suggestion?

I'm not familiar with Pegasus and its themes, but are you sure you've run the 'generate' gamelist step in Skyscraper, after it downloaded the artwork for your games/roms ?

Of course, that's usually my go to scraper!

That's filled a chunk of the games, I'll play about with using that and altering the file names via SSH for the rest.

Makes sense.

Thanks!

In ES You can press select and edit the game's metadata. Then at the bottom there is a button for scraping.

@Smythius
If you edit the gamelist.xml, follow Hhromic's post to change the game path to end with the folder.

Or change the folder name to remove the pseudo extension ".svm" but this is kind of a loss of a working organization function.

roms via samba network
\\roms\scummvm\gamelist.xml

roms via root directory
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm/gamelist.xml

alternate folder that gamelist.xml can be generated at with skyscraper
/etc/emulationstation/~gamelists(???), or maybe
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/?

I love the search function.

Just wanted to say this helped me get my Windows 10 build scraped! Thank you! 🥂

@mancity

Why not just use Steven selphs scraper? Works great, even with videos

Just got this error while scraping

@Clyde Great! It works perfectly. And thanks also for the detailed explanation!

rescrapped all with Screenscraper instead of Arcadeitalia
Switched on OMX
eveything ok except some mame which I re encoded.

thanks everybody.

@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.

Quick update.

I went through and cleaned up some of my rom folders and deleted all game lists and downloaded images on my PI. ES scraped ones and sselphs. I ended up running sselphs and turned out pretty good. 1 snes was hack-link which I expected, zelda parallel worlds. Which from maybe my reddit post, hack-link is the default screenscrapper image when it can't find a image. Another system, forgetting now, had maybe 10. That one has good videos and images but the name was hack-link. Switched it and was good. Nes did have a good amount but did actually download correct images and video. I noticed that most were showing correct info but in the game list the <name> was hack-link. Changed it and was good, it was just the name display that was wrong for most.

The ones left that didn't work and were fill the the psp hack-link name and info looked to be duplicates /versioned copies of a game. For instance super mario, super mario [a1], super mario [a2]. That might not be an exact example but a similar scenario. As I find them I'll fix them manually.

Because your not using an official inage

@captainvelvet Great. I'm glad you got it working.
