      I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have a rom: 'SCAT - Special Cybernetic Attack Team' that has been successfully scraped from Screenscraper.fr using Skyscraper. The problem is that there are multiple Titles, Covers and Wheels for this rom. And Skyscraper keeps using the 'Action in New York' title and media. Is there a way to force Skyscraper to use the alternate title (S.C.A.T.) and media from Screenscraper.fr? I've already tried the --interactive option from the command line, but it didn't offer any choices. It says it successfully found the title, but it always shows the title as 'Action in New York' and the cover/wheel also show 'Action in New York'.

      The link showing the rom media is here: https://www.screenscraper.fr/gameinfos.php?gameid=1988&action=onglet&zone=gameinfosmedias

      Since I don't speak French, it's kinda hard to figure out how to manually download the correct cover/wheel so that I can use Skyscraper's import function as a last resort. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

        Thy changing the Region when scraping - you want the US artwork/info and not the EU one I suppose.

          @mitu Thank you, that worked. You are brilliant. I must have missed that option when going over Skyscraper's documentation.
