      Hi guys,

      I am trying to make the scrapper function work in spanish but I am doing something wrong, because the system back to me all the game details in english.
      I change many times the file config.ini with no success.
      What I am doing wrong?

      THANKS!

        Here's what worked for me - this is my whole config.ini:

        [main]
lang=es
region=eu
langPrios=es,en
regionPrios=eu,wor,us,jp

        Scraping seems to get the Spanish description for the games that have it, I tested it with Arcade and NES systems.

Description: ()
'El Comando Biónico es un scrolling platform shoot-em-up  diez años después del final de la III Guerra Mundial, con el jugador asumiendo el papel de "Super Joe"; un Comando de élite encargado de infiltrarse en la base militar del enemigo para descubrir sus planes secretos y destruir sus silos de misiles. nnnnPara ayudarle en su misión, Joe está equipado con un brazo biónico; un gancho telescópico de agarre que se utiliza para atravesar las numerosas plataformas y cornisas que conforman los niveles del juego. El brazo también se puede utilizar para aturdir temporalmente a los enemigos o golpearlos desde las plataformas, así como para recuperar los objetos de bonificación, cajas de madera y armas que ocasionalmente caen en la zona de guerra en paracaídas. nnnnAdemás del brazo biónico, Joe está armado con una escopeta usada para matar enemigos y destruir obstrucciones. La escopeta sólo se puede disparar a izquierda y derecha, sin embargo, y no se puede usar al mismo tiempo que el brazo biónico. Se pueden recoger pistolas más poderosas a lo largo del juego.'

          Thank you very much again @mitu !

          Sorry, just to do a double check about if I understand properly.
          I should change the main tag and keep as I did the "arcade" and "nes"?
          This is how the file should be?

          THANKS!!!

            If your goal is to prioritise scraping in Spanish, then I think you can remove everything from the .ini file and leave only the main section and the ScreenScraper credentials (if you have any):

            [main]
lang=es
region=eu
langPrios=es,en
regionPrios=eu,wor,us,jp

[screenscraper]
userCreds="XX:XX"
threads="1"

            Other options can be set through the user interface in the Skyscraper options (videos, marquees, etc.)
