      I’m just wondering if there is a solution anyone has for scraping homebrews or rom hacks? So far, it doesn’t find the homebrew games and lists the hacks as the stock version of the game that’s modified. I am using the built in scraper.

        Since the scrapers usually get the info from an external site, the easiest solution would be to add that information there. Otherwise, I know Skyscraper has an import scraping module where you can add your own information, complementing what's on the source site, but that has to be done for each ROM - so it's just like editing the information manually from EmulationStation or directly adding that information to the gamelist.xml file.
