      Hi guys,

      Ive done a search on here and cannot see an answer to my specific question so thought id create a question....

      Ok since the scraper does not work ive been creating a brand new build and have been manually adding in images (Select and then manually typing in the path to the image). After doing this nearly 300 times so far, its getting tiresome.

      My question is, if I name the images the exact same as the roms, will it auto pick them up? If so, from what exact directory would they need to be in?

        Have you tried one of the other scrapers? Try sselph's scraper it's pretty easy to use and can scrape all your games for you much faster than the built in scraper ever did.

            @mancity no it's just the built in scraper that isn't working. If thegamesDB source doesn't work when using one of the alternative scrapers just switch the scraper to use a different source and it should work fine.

              Why not just use Steven selphs scraper? Works great, even with videos
