      using the retropie-setup config i run the scraper on my roms but it only grabs title screen for the all the games.

      i dont see an option for getting screenshots of actual gameplay instead

      how do i tell the scraper gui to grab screenshots instead?

      (yes ive used xml scraper but it seems that lately its just downloading corrupt png's of 1kb, or displaying (PROTO,CLONE....) on all my roms. so i cant use that anymore)

        There is a command line flag but it isn't exposed in the RetroPie-setup script -mame_img and -console_img These accept an ordered list of image preferences which RetroPie-setup sets to -mame_img="t,m,s" and -console_img="b" So the order is Title, Marquee, Snap for mame. You can exit EmulationStation and run this from the command line with something like this but cd to the rom folder you want to scrape.

        cd ~/RetroPie/roms/mame
        /opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper -mame -mame_img="s,t,m"
        

        More detail about all the flags is at

        /opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper -h
