I changed directory to cd RetroPie/roms/scummvm and just ran scraper with no additional options. The version I downloaded is v1.0.10. I also tried it through the menu but it found zero games that way (just scummvm checked for systems).

Ok, which file are you using for the hash checksum? That way I will add the Sierra games I have.

Sorry Buzz, I corrected it with better formatting. Is using a code block ok? I'm not great with some of my forum etiquette. ;)

Looks better. You can specify language etc - I just put "text" in there and it doesnt try to syntax highlight it now.

Ok, I had to edit to see how it was done, much better without all the highlights. I am all for being tidy especially as years of information accumulate it's much easier to browse through threads that are clean.

The scraper does support scummvm it does it by just using the file names since those were generated by the system and are hardcoded in scummvm. My current list was generated by taking all the values listed in the source code of scummvm at the time then letting people match those to thegamesdb.
If there are more changes that need to be made, feel free to open up a new issue or reopen the scummvm issue with any updates. Check out sheet 2 of https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HUj7nnDsJU2kpB_pFkzzHbO8rpwsdLQivZtHbPO3xTE/edit#gid=1414861348 to see what data is expected.

Hey,
i tried my luck with the Scraper, it works on most systems but on ScummVM (even though i checked to have the same filenames like in the sheet 2) i will get the following error:
XML syntax error on line 22: element <meta> closed by </head>
Any hints where to look for the problem ? Thanks
