Error messages received: subscript used on non-accessible variableI scraped SNES games with sselph scraper, and it worked fine. I noticed the images were crappy, and changed "thumbnails only" and scraped again. The images didn't change, so I deleted the gameslist and image metadata folders to remove the metadata. Now when I scrape it only gets a few games in and says it's done. I tried scraping all systems, and about half of them worked perfectly and half of them are untouched.
Next I tried Universal XML Scraper, and it goes part way through before spitting out the error "subscript used on non-accessible variable" and crashing. If I stop the process part way through, the games it scraped do indeed get saved, but it never finishes on its own.
I tried looking that error up on Google and got zero helpful results. Does anybody have any ideas? Whenever I try scraping SNES with sselph it gets to "Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle" and craps out. -
Honestly I've had bad luck with sselph's. It misses most on my system. I've just used the built in scrapper from emulation station and manually edited the meta data for everything else. PSP is probably the biggest pain as those just don't scrape.

@Charononus Doesn't the built-in scraper get a lot of games wrong though? I have a ton so I don't want to manually approve each one. This really sucks because I still can't get sselph or UXS to work :(

I just did quite a bit of heavy duty scraping with SSELPH last night and had no issues.
To help you troubleshoot, where are you deleting the gameslist and images from?

Yeah it's a manual process, and it goofs a lot on things that have sequels to where you need to select the right title. Considering that Sselphs probably missed 90% of my games though, it was definitely the way to go for me.
