      Some sections at Launchbox DB are more complete than the one found in TheGamesDB. Is there way to scrape info from that database instead? I am using Windows primarily for my setup with ES.

        @duiz I'm not familiar with Launchbox and what it uses as scraping source, but you can use another scraper to get the media and metadata for Emulationstation. You can choose between Skraper, Universal XML Scraper or Steven Selph's Scraper.
