      I know this isn't directly related to a RetroPie setup, but I figured since it's very close this is the best place to get help (as it's non-existent elsewhere).

      So I have Emulation Station setup with the comic book theme by TMNT Guy installed. I love it, and I also love the standalone scraper for PC called Skraper (which I only recently discovered). After long years of trying to use things like Kodi or other scrapers via TheGamesDB to try and get all my art work, this program finally finds 100% of my box art, screenshots, video snaps perfectly with no gaps (no easy task as they total over 700+ per system).

      To the point, the problem I'm having is that none of the art is displaying in EmulationStation. I've created folders named boxart, snaps, and other relevant directories in my roms root for each system, but nothing is appearing. I realized the issue must be with my gameslist.xml. Upon checking, it seems that Skraper is not generating the path info that EmulationStation needs to find it (which I saw in a YouTube video).

      What am I doing wrong here and how do I need to get his all synced up (I'm so close...finally).

      Thanks!

        @alphabetapie Can you show us a gamelist.xml fragment generated by Skraper and tell how you organized your ROMs ? You shouldn't need to create any artwork folders, Skraper will create them for your, and reference them in the gamelist.xml file.
