      How do you guys solve this problem? I have some games added through editing the gamelist.xml directly. Even if I choose "Append" with Steven Selph's Scraper, it adds new games but removes my custom addition. These games are homebrews and mods and resides in a directory inside roms. Everything works as intended and I added custom video files and such. But the entries in gamelist.xml are gone, if I use the Scraper, even with Append option.

        Any idea? The current way doing this is to copy by hand all custom entries and add after scraping again. But I would like to leave this step out, if there is an option i missed or anything else. If there is no other possible way, then please tell me, so I know it for sure.

          Ok, now i did the change by hand and created a second xml file with the additional custom data. Whenever I do scrape with Seten Selphs Scraper, I need to add the custom data by hand.
