I Can't Scrap!!! Say there is no Rom?

[markett]

Ok, here is the thing. I spent my whole day trying to configure the emulation station to work, and I Did it. The bizzhawk works fine, the game open and no errors. But when i try to use some scraps (Selph, Skrapper and the one with ES) they simple don't find any rom, of any system. What did i do wrong?
Last time i use "Retrocake" script to do this config and kinda simulates retropie script. And the scrappers find the roms. What i can not understand, because are the same roms. But with retrocake they are found!
Bellow is the code of my systems.conf!

What scraping source are you using ? It might be busy or restricting access to non-registered users - like ScreenScraper.

So, like i said i try with Selph Scrapper, Skrapper (ScreenScraper), And the one with Emulation Station. The one with ES has "thegamesdb" and "the archive" and no one of those worked =/
And besides that i have a fully formatted windows, but everything works fine.

[mitu]

Don't know why it's not working for you, I had no problem a few days ago with Skraper or today with EmulationStation's built-in scraper.

[markett]

Ok! I Found the problem. It's silly, actually veeery silly. So i have a litte understand of linux and far as i know when a folder has a "." ahead that means the folder is hidden.
In Windows, even if the folder is showing up, ".emulationstation" is consider a hidden folder.

The solution?
I place my roms folder outsite the ".emulationstation" and boom! Everthyng is working as intended.

@markett Thanks for sharing your solution.

I don't understand - you reported you couldn't scrape your ROMs, but your problem was that your ROMs were not appearing in the list ?

No, my roms appear at the list, but not for any scraper. I could play the games normally, but if i place images or trying to use any scraper, simple doesn't find any.

@markett Why did you put the rom directory inside ~/.emulationstation in the first place? Retropie's standard rom directory is ~/.RetroPie/roms with the individual systems as subdirectories, so it is expectable that the scrapers also expect them to be there.

Did you put the roms into ~/RetroPie/roms/[system] now?

So, i am using Windows, because of that i need to create a folder roms/system and i can put this
wherever I want.
Then to make easier to find the roms folder, i put in .emulationstation that in theory I just needed to change the system at the end of ./roms/.

@markett Thanks for this, I've been trying the all day without understanding why it was not working. You saved my day my friend!
