      It seems like the servers are not up or something, it takes ages then times out.
      I have just setup a new 3.7 and it can not find any ATARI2600 games scrapes

      I did a 3.6 build a few weeks back any every 2600 game was scarped OK.

      I even tried the Steven Selph's scraper and that found one 2600 cart out of 94

      I tried the in built a few times switching between the two DB for options.

      Is it simply a server down issues I can't believe the three option we have for scraping don't work on 2600 games, when the inbuilt one worked fine a few weeks back.

      Why is it so bad

        The same issue with GBA...

        The scraper is simply a database someone built so if they didn't put in any of the games, then it won't catch it.

        Would be nice to get a group of people together to build a Retropie scraper...
