Migrate/Copy Scraper Data and Artwork to another Pi

[Dwarfboysim]

Hi all,
I have read through the forums and note that none of the scrapers can currently get data from “THEGAMESDB”. I have just setup a new SD card running RetroPie 4.4 and still have my old card running RetroPie 4.3. My question is this both have the identical games and system so wondering what steps are involved to copy/migrate all the thumbnail pictures and game descriptions etc from the 4.3 RetroPie system to the 4.4 one. I currently have 2 Raspberry Pi 3 model B’s so can have both on at the same time and do the transfer via Samba share if someone could provide the steps. Besides the RetroPie version the only othe real difference is the 4.3 install is called RETROPIE and the 4.4 install is called RETROPIE44.

System spec below:
Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
Raspberry Pi 2.5 amp PSU
SanDisk 64GB SD card
4 x Logitech F710 Wireless Controllers
1x 4 port USB 2 Hub
1 x Logitech Wireless Mouse and Keyboard
O.S. RetroPie 4.4 with most recent updates

Look forward to hearing any thoughts/ideas.

Thanks,
Dwarfboysim

Maybe you can use scraper.net program to scrape all your roms. I am in the moment of trying out the program. So far it scrapes all images, data and it creates them in the systems roms folders with a images folder and a gamelist.xml that can be used in Emulationstation. By doing it that way the only part that is left is to just copy the same roms folder with the scraped data to the other Pi and then Emulationstation should load the scraped data and images automatically.

Im still scraping and can not say if it works or not in Emulationstation. The scraper uses screenscraper.fr as the scraping source

https://www.scraper.net/

You can give it a try. Otherwise maybe you could use the Universal XML Scraper.

Just go to \\retropie\ and copy the roms folder to your desktop so you can can send it to any future pies.
