      Sorry, I'm kind of new to this and coding in general, so trying to figure out the tags used in the command line has totally confused me. Can somebody tell me how to use the scraper to just download a 500 x 375 screenshot for some systems? I just tried to do it myself using the tags but now all the metadata is missing. For reference, here's the code I tried to use:

      /opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper -console_img string=s -console_src=ss,gdb,ovgdb -download_images=true -max_height=375 -max_width=500 -workers 4 -img_format=png
      

      On another note, so I can try to clean my RetroPie now that I've messed it up.. These tags say the following. Maybe I was supposed to specify.

      -image_dir directory
      The directory to place downloaded images to locally. (default "images")
      -image_path path
      The path to use for images in gamelist.xml. If scrape_all is used, only image_dir is used. (default "images")

      Does that mean any images I just downloaded are sitting in some 'images' folder somewhere on the RetroPie? I can't find it.
