Steven Selph's Scraper Minor Issue
-
@retrofitting Check the
~/.emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/
folder for agamelist.xml
file and - if present - delete it. -
As I mentioned above I check the gamelist.xml for retropie in
\\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation
which is the same path you mentioned but I can't see those line in there. -
Ah, I forgot about the RetroPie system - I think ES might show the info even if no gamelist is present, regardless if you scraped or not the system. Worth checking in
~/RetroPie/roms/retropie
and make sure there's nogamelist.xml
present there. -
Before scraping with sselph's scraper, I don't have those lines in Retropie's menu. There's no retropie folder in roms. Found a retropie menu folder in RetroPie-Setup but no gamelist.xml.
This also happens with Kodi in Ports menu & I don't use scrape all option in sselph's scraper just the individual scraping.
-
Sorry, forgot about the location of the RP menu - it's
/home/pi/RetroPie/retropiemenu
. However, I don't get how you managed toscrape
this system. If I run the scraper withScraper All systems
, there is no gamelist created for it. How did you run the scraper ? -
I did not use the
Scrape all systems
, justScrape chosen systems
& choose what I want to scrape. -
I can't reproduce the problem - what version of ES/RetroPie do you have ? Please give more info as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@mitu I'm not in the house right now so I can't check it. Sorry. I updated all the packages installed last night through RetroPie-Setup Script so I'm pretty sure I'm on the latest versions of RetroPie & all installed packages. I'm running Rasberry Pi 2B with the official image of Retropie.
-
I think it depends on the theme you're using. I'm running with Carbon - the default theme - and I don't see it, but if you're using a different theme, then it might add those (empty) tags to the
RetroPie
system. -
I'm using Carbon theme also. :)

@retropieting I know this topic is quite old, however I had exactly the same issue and was able to fix it so I thought I would share it here for others with the same problem.
The issue is that the Scraper included the "Mame2003" game folder (for want of a better term) as a game to be scraped. The lines it adds (Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Players) relates to Developer, Publisher, Genre and # of players.
The way I got round it was to boot into retropie, then press select/options (on the controller) when Highlighting the Mame2003 folder and chose to edit the games meta details. I then typed a unique value for the Developer and saved it. Then when I looked in the gamelist.xml file I could see the entry right at the bottom of the file under the <folder> tags. I then edited this file to include some blurb around the emulator itself, gave it a first release date (5th Feb 97 if I remember correctly) and added a nice image to round it off.
I do wonder if you could correct the issue permanently by deleting the folder section from the xml file, but I quite liked the summary.
Hope this helps someone else!
