      If I scrape all systems (steven sleph's) in my retropie again will that duplicate metadata on previously scraped metadata and boxart? or will it delete all data and redo the scrape like a first time scrape?

              @SonPluck The images won't be re-downloaded unless you delete them. There is an option to overwrite or append to the gamelist. Append will preserve the existing data including the last played and number of times played and only add in new games.
