Skyscraper help
-
I've switched from Selph Scraper to Skyscraper. I have a couple of romhacks that I wanted to include. As I understand, these are not listed on any official gameDB and as a result have to be added manually into the gamelist.xml. Also, I am building my retropie rom-collection slowly. I don't want to add all roms at once. I'm adding a couple at a time, which requires me to run the scraping process multiple times to include newly added roms.
- question: Where do I need to put my own images so that they get included during the caching process?
If I add an image for, sayPokemon Ashgrey-image.png
and after that add another game and run the skyscraper-caching process again, my manually added game-images get deleted. - question: Where can I find the text during teh cashing proess?
I run the scraper from putty. Startingretropie_setup.sh
results in this dos-like menu that you navigate using arrow-keys. When I now run skyscraper's cashing process, there is a lot of text running across the screen, which moves really fast but also contains a lot of useful information however, after the process is done I'm back at the dos-like textbox and cannot study what was happening.
Thanks for helping!
