      Hi All,

      I'm using the sselph scraper which works really well, one question I've added some new roms and then ran the program on the required system.

      It kept returning saying all systems scraped however I know that's not the case has anyone came across this and has a fix

      Thanks in advance

        Which system isnt scraping? Do you have an example of the rom filename? (Just wondering if you have them zipped or have tried unzipped).

            Are you saying that scraper did not add metadata for the new roms you added? Because the scraper is not 100% perfect. If it doesn't recognize a rom, it obviously won't add any data. If this is the case, try deleting all the metadata and running it again. If your other roms get the metadata back again and the new ones don't, it's pretty clear that the scraper just isn't recognizing them.

            Your post isn't very clear on what the issue is. You say you know the system wasn't scraped... but how do you know this? Are you assuming it wasn't scraped because your new roms don't have metadata? It can scrape a system and not find anything. It doesn't mean it didn't scrape.

              mame 0.78 sets should scrape fine. they did for me. are you using the -mameargument? mame games are scraped differently from the others. a paste of the command and results would help us diagnose.

                Mame scraping is based on filenames rather than hashes - do you have an example of a filename you have in the folder?
                Obviously the mame roms should remain zipped.
