      I too have found the same issue when trying to scrape N64 roms. So you're not alone there.

        I am finding it is also doing it with increasing regularity on PSX and Final Burn Alpha scrapes too. Skyscraper seems to be getting a little unstable when scraping now.

          It's not all about Skyscraper - see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/11826/versatile-c-game-scraper-skyscraper/1113 - it seems the ScreenScraper API has a few errors which didn't appear before. Try another scraping source.

            @mitu thank you! And I stand corrected. I did try to find some sort of answer online but that thread you linked never came up. I have credentials for Screenscraper but didn't ever place my details into the config for Skyscraper. Now I have it works just fine! I do hope the issue in general is fixed soon though for everyone.

            Thanks again!

                I am having this issue as well. I had previously (yesterday) been able to scrap with no issues. Today I tried and got this error. I figured out how to get my credentials in and it is still giving me the error.

                  @cannuck23 Its seems their API may be having issues again. I just tested and cannot scrape anything from screenscraper currently.

                    @quicksilver I think there's an issue with the SSL certificate of their site, which was renewed yesterday. I've put a question on their forums to see how we can solve this.

                        @cannuck23 It should be working fine now - give it a try.
