Stephen's scraper isn't scraping,help?

So I have the No-Intro romset and its not picking anything up for the Atari 2600 as well as other consoles. Is there anything I need to clear. I'm getting an error for every game.

Can you post an error fragment from running scraper ? I just scraped a few games and the scraping works mostly fine. Note that I'm using ScreenScraper as a source.

Sorry I kinda jumped the gun and decided to reformat and re do it all again. Still getting the same error for every game.

"Cannot Parse Response invalid character "V" looking for beginning of value.

Please post the complete error message and command line used. What version of RetroPie are you using ?

Dcm210

The newest one.

This is what I'm seeing.

This looks like a network error or your requests to ScreenScraper have reached their quota. I get no issues here, so I don't think it's a program/configuration problem.

Is there a way I can use the screenscraper.fr website to scrape roms?

How do I reset the quota for roms?

Yes, through a scraper.

How do I reset the quota for roms?

Did you scrape, before you were getting this errors, from your computer or the PI ? There's a daily 9000 (?) requests quota, if you reached that quota then you'll have to wait until the next day.

I just created an account on screenscraper.fr . I edited the file with my login info and now it seems to be working for the most part. However it only missed a few games?

Maybe I did the scraper thing right?
