      I'm trying to scrape Amiga CD32 games and having an issue, in es_systems.cfg the platform is set as "amiga" so when I scrape from TGDB I can see that I'm getting Amiga images as opposed to Amiga CD32 images.
      If I change the platform in es_systems.cfg to "cd32" it then gives me a message when scraping that the platform is not set, does anyone know what the platform should be for cd32 for scraping to work?

        There's none, CD32 is not one of the platforms EmulationStation knows about - it needs to be added to the internal list of systems known by the scraper.

          I would give retrocraper a try.

          You can also install it as a 3rd party module-script :
          https://github.com/zayamatias/retroscraper-rpie

          The thread is here :
          https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/32226/soft-new-scraper-in-the-works

          Here you will find the supported systems :
          http://77.68.23.83

          Edit :
          I just tested it out.
          If the cd32 games are in the roms/amiga folder then they are detected as regular amiga games.
          If the cd32 games are in the roms/cd32 folder then they are detected as regular cd32 games.
          However the system cd32 has to be created one way or another otherwise the scraper will not detect it.

            Thanks for the info, to workaround the issue I was able to choose the games from a list in the scraper since I changed the platform and it was not found. It only worked w/ TGDB, not screenscraper, but I was able to scape the games I needed
