      @Krakatoa Hmm,
      I create custom loading images in Photoshop and put them in
      \\[machine]\roms\\[system]\images\\[game]-launching.png.

      I find scraped images (from Skyscraper) in
      \\[machine]\roms\\[system]\media\screenshots\\[game].png
      and
      \\[machine]\roms\\[system]\media\marquees\\[game].png.

        @IanDaemon that’s why I am looking for the path as each scraper uses different folders. I use both AARM and Skraper https://www.skraper.net/ For scraping. I’m planning on going fully to Skraper if I can get these images loading on boot.

          On my system Skraper and Skyscraper both save in the same folder.
          (However I did select "use rom folder for scraped images" somewhere so that may be having an effect.)

            @Krakatoa Changing one uniform underscore in thousands of files is no hassle at all with Bulk Rename Utility. Check out my posts here.

              @IanDaemon thanks. I’ll try that.

                @WeirdH I fixed that issue by using brackets around the code.
