      I've been refining my build and I separated my NEs and SNES games between NEs and Famicom and between SNES and Super Famicom.

      I added both system in the es_systems.cfg and they show up properly. However when I try to scrape them with Skyscraper I get an error saying that the system is not supported by Screenscraper.fr.

      Here is the entry I made in the es_systems.cfg

        <system>
          <name>nes</name>
          <fullname>Nintendo Family Computer</fullname>
          <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/famicom</path>
          <extension>.7z .nes .zip .7Z .NES .ZIP</extension>
          <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ nes %ROM%</command>
          <platform>nes</platform>
          <theme>famicom</theme>
        </system>
      
        <system>
          <name>sfc</name>
          <fullname>Nintendo Super Family Computer</fullname>
          <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/sfc</path>
          <extension>.7z .bin .bs .smc .sfc .fig .swc .mgd .zip .7Z .BIN .BS .SMC .SFC .FIG .SWC .MGD .ZIP</extension>
          <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ snes %ROM%</command>
          <platform>snes</platform>
          <theme>sfc</theme>
        </system>
      

      From what I understand the platform should be NES and SNES which are supported.
      Any help would be appreciated.

        @zodiark12 Might it be an case issue? Linux is case sensitive. (nes != NES)

          Indeed it is, however even the original NES entry in the file is set up like that so I assume it is not the issue.

            Ok so I've found out why, for anyone that could find this thread later on, with the same issue. It is far simple as Skyscrapper, at the time of this posting, does not support Famicom and Super Famicom as a platform. Maybe in a futur update? Maybe never? We'll see in time.

            For now I've placed my Famicom in my NES rom and Super Famicom in my SNES folder and did the scrape. Then I moved it back to the famicom and sfc folder respectively, including the gamelist.xml and the media folder.

            It's a bit of a hassle, but it get the job done.

            URL to the supported Skyscrapper platform :
