      Hi, this has been been returning very, very few matches in the last few weeks, about 95% percent of the times I get the "no games found - skip" message. Before that, it used to work relatively fine for months. I mainly use for scraping individual roms and see if they have a better quality cover than the one I already have. I'm talking about the built-in scraper exclusively, I'm aware of the Skyscraper functionality and that is working after editing my user creds.

      Is this a general issue or is it just my system acting up?

        @retrotarta i made the same experience with screenscraper.
        Usually he finds the metadata for a rom by the third to fith try.
        I dont know why, maybe too much traffic for a small server?
