      So I have been messing with Skyscraper and have got it to scrape all my roms and download the covers, but the problem is now that it doesn't seem to record what it pulls into Reteopie? The roms are there and listed, but no description or cover art, and they are still listed by file name. What to do?

      Example command that I use: Skyscraper -p nes -s thegamesdb --nobrackets

      As I'm running it via SSH, i use 'killall emulationstation' beforehand since I read it can't write while its running.

        @ColBojank Have you read the documentation ? Skyscraper doesn't automatically add the info to Emulationstation's gamelists, you'll need to run it a 2nd time (at least) to generate the gamelists from the cached info, removing the -s parameter.
        Source - https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/blob/master/docs/USECASE.md.

          I have read it but missed that. I'm going to back and read it again.

          Thanks for the info!
