      The built-in scraper which uses thegamesDB is incredibly slow at the moment and http://thegamesdb.net/ is taking awhile to respond. Has anyone tried it recently, or is able to trying scraping a game in the ES menu and see if it's just as slow?

      Most games are timing out and won't save images. Screenscraper with sselph's scraper works fine.

        Please update post with :
        Es settings conf
        Es version number
        Retropie version number

        It should be obvious that without these information no dev will help you.

        Your request is as generic as saying that my vehicle doesn't move. Please be more specific.

          @thewinterdojer Nothing we can do about that - they are probably having load/server issues. You can check on their forum.

            @buzz It's back up and running at normal speeds, it was down for a couple days. I know no one here can do anything about it, but I was more asking to get confirmation if it was only me experiencing the issue or not. Thank you nonetheless.
