Scrapping emulation station Windows 10 alternative method

alex_o0

Hi guys,

I have the following setup:

Portable Game Station Version 1.5.0
Updated emulationsation on top V2.0-opr-dev
Updated Retroarch 1.7.6 on top

Issue:
I would like to scrap games info and images for my library but the built in scrapper on emulation station is very slow and freezes after a period of time. At this rate it would take weeks with the stopping and starting.

What I have done to try and fix:

I tired https://www.skraper.net/ but it does not appear to support emulation station on windows 10. Tried hacking my way through the generic option in the wizard with no luck.
I looked into https://github.com/sselph/scraper/releases but this is down as it does not run the new thegamesdb API
Tried Universal XML Scraper but looks like its not supported and they advice to use skraper.net/

Does anyone know of any program/method I can use to scrap for emulation station on windows10 ?

Skraper supports fine the gamelist.xml used by Emulationstation. I'd say you should give it another try for scraping.

EDIT: There's also ARRM - http://jujuvincebros.fr/telechargements2/file/10-arrm-another-recalbox-roms-manager.

@mitu Thanks for your reply.
I gave skraper anther crack and its working now. Don't know why it didn't work before.

I am also giving ARRM a crack, in your opinion what which do you think is better ?

mitu

@alex_o0 I only used Skraper, so I can'tcompare them. I think ARRM can scrape from multiple sources, so it may be better for some systems.

I love the search function.

Just wanted to say this helped me get my Windows 10 build scraped! Thank you! 🥂
