      Pi Model or other hardware: 3B+ with 32gb card
      Power Supply used: Stock Canakit power supply
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.4.4, with Emulationstation 2.7.6RP
      Built From: Raspian 4.4.12(1)
      Retropie USB Devices connected: mini wireless keyboard
      Controller used: Hori RAP4 (Playstation version)

      When I did my first scrape with Steven Scraper, I realized I hadn't turned on SSH. Being new to RPIs, I'm not even sure what SSH is for.

      Anyways, the first scrape worked anyways. I just tried a second scrape today for new ROMS, and I kept getting i/o errors and timeouts. I turned off SSH in the desktop configuration menu as well as in raspi-config, and now it's working again. Is there any reason why I would need to turn SHH back on, or could I just leave it off?

        @Mebejedi That's entirely coincidental - SSH enable/disable has nothing to do with the scraper working on the PI.

          You're right. I had to reset my modem. Weird timing.

            I take that back....http://www.arcadeitalia.net/ is down.

            On the plus side, enabling SSH allows me to use my PC keyboard and mouse with my Pie. Learn something new everyday, lol.
