Cannot scrape ROMS
-
While attempting to scrape the ROMS on my Pi Zero, it sped through the process and I got an error saying 0 games were scraped. Can someone help with this?
Pi Model: Zero w
RetroPie Version Used: 4.4
Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website (retropie-4.4-rpi1_zero.img)
USB Devices connected: RetroBit USB NES Controller
Controller used: RetroBit USB NES Controller
Error messages received: 0 Games were scraped -
@logandiscord Are you using the built in scraper in Emulationstation? Last I heard thegamesdb.net had changed and it wasn't working for now and you needed to use the Selph Scraper from the Retropie setup through the command line.
-
Update the Emulationstation package - or better yet, do an update of all packages - and then reboot. It should work after the update.

I installed a new SD card today in my new system. So new flash on a 3B board and I downloaded all my games to it. Most systems I already have a gamelist.xml file but there were a few new systems I loaded due to having more space on the new SD card.
I just used the built-in scraper for 3 different systems - Master System, Gameboy and Atari 5200. It worked fine and was very fast too.
EDIT: I installed the Selph scraper right after posting this and re-scraped Gameboy and Gameboy Color romsets. It worked fine. I had to change the console source to screenscraper and it downloaded videos. Everything seems fine here.
