      Hi all,

      New to the forum and to this whole Raspeberry Pi thing. Wasn't able to find a similar issue during my search either.

      I am running Emulation Station 2.1.5, Retropie 4.2 on a Raspberry Pi 3. EDIT: Also using Canakit 5V 2.5A power supply.

      I'm having this issue with two identical systems but on the first one (built them a few weeks apart) I was able to get the built in ES scraper to work on the first bunch of games I downloaded. Since then I have not been able to get it to work at all. All the games are named properly and some of them on the 2nd system won't scrape even if they did on the first system initially. I have tried this on my network both on WiFi and ethernet. I have also tried it while on my phones personal hot spot to see if it was something to do with my network.

      Any time scraper is run it says "No Games Found - SKIP" and will sometimes crash when I skip them to see if any of the other ones are going to work. Finally on the original system I built installed and ran Stephen Selph's scraper and no games were scraped with that either.

      Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

        @jcanthony Many are having an issue. It seems it's gamesdb preforming some kind of upgrade. It has to be them since I preformed a full restart from scratch and the issue was still there.

          thegamesdb,net API is offline. Use a different scraper or just wait. How many times is this issue going to be posted? Oh, just checked their site, it's all new and fancy.
