Where can I find the scraper settings, in say, an FTP viewer?

Concat

Are you talking about the metadata...? Like the names, pictures, game descriptions, etc? That is, the results of the scraper? Because those are listed in a hidden folder. I think it's home/pi/.emulationstation and there's a folder for the gamelists, and another for the game art

I use WINSCP and I had to opt to show hidden folders to get in there. I don't think you need root access for that folder at least.

I'm using the wrong term, I must mean metadata then, thank you.

I'll see if cyberduck has an option to turn on hidden folders, I dont feel like messing with my desktop (winscp)

Thank you for that info, I was wondering why I couldn't find this supposed home/pi/.emula..... that the internet kept talking about,

Concat

Any of the folders with a . in front is a hidden folder

@scrappbrapp there was an option just added in the scraper module to scrape into the rom folder

Really? like... 5 mins ago kind of update? Cause i just updated retropie yesterday afternoon.

where do I find this option? Cyberduck doesn't seem to want to show hidden folders.... I've just been choosing the option of "rescrape all the files"

@scrappbrapp try using filezilla

My problem was restarting CyberDuck. I found these folders now.

@herb_fargus where do I find these options to change my scraper Directory? When you say "scraper module" do you mean that "steves scraper" program that I have to exit out of emulation station to use? (I havent ever used it)

@scrappbrapp Yeah that is the one he is referring to https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/scraper

The creator himself! Thank you @sselph . I'll go check out your hard work once I feel like digging around in terminal, soon.

@scrappbrapp The Force is strong with him. If he could be turned, he will become a powerful ally.

Joking aside, it isn't too bad. The terminal fun.
