      Hi

      Any tips on gap filling when scrapping meta data on a Pi Zero W?

      Whereas on my Pi 3 B+ I would just correct any errors by shortening/cleaning up the search query, this isn't possible in a RetroFlag GPI Case with my Pi Zero W without a bluetooth keyboard.

      I've tried SSH and taking out special characters, which fixed some but not all Spider-Man & Kirby's games on the next scrape, but any Zelda or long titled games with perhaps regional variations in title still can't be found.

      TYIA

      Disclaimer: I've got this far by being able to Google and follow idiots guides/YT vids, I'm not overly technically skilled!

        Try using Skyscraper for scraping, it should work better since it uses file's content (instead of names) to match/search the games on the scraping site.

          Of course, that's usually my go to scraper!

          That's filled a chunk of the games, I'll play about with using that and altering the file names via SSH for the rest.
