      I am new to this and searched the forum found a couple of posts most were quite old. I have a pi 3 b and a 64GB PNY memory card. I have about 4.5 GB of data in ROMS and I can add more stuff but the scraper is consistently telling me disk full and won't scrape. any help would be appreciated. I tried to resize the partition based on one of the posts however the option did not exist and I am not gifted enough in Linux/Unix to resize the partition for the roms. I don't know that it isn't already sized correctly as I can keep adding games. any help would be greatly appreciated. This is a very fantastic little system you all have made.

        I do find if I retry it will move a few more scrapes before it is "full disk" again. I am doing one console at a time it seems to like that better.

        on a side note how can I add a scrape for games not found in the DB like 1942 great game have it on a couple of platforms the DB doesn't have an image for that game can I add a custom image?

          Please give more details about your system - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. You can easily find out how much free space you have available by exiting Emulationstation and looking at the RetroPie welcome message, which should have a line containing

                |*|      Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
      |*|      /dev/root        29G  9.1G   19G  34% /

          For the missing artwork, you can use the alternate scraper - see the docs - or just edit the game's metadata by pressing Select when the game is selected in the game browser.

              I had a similar issue while building my 4.4 set up with my new Pi 3B+. For me it seemed to be just a timeout due to the website not providing the image fast enough for the scraper. When I tried it again after each failure it would work but would happen frequently. I recently tried again several days later as I had 100+ roms and didn't feel like sitting through them all and it worked fine without a hiccup. I'd still provide that info requested by mitu as that may not be your issue
