      This is weird. Since I last used FBA, the gamelist.xml file has been zorched. I noticed that the game images are not there. The file is blank. The scraped images are still in their correct folder, but the gamelist has become corrupted or something.

      So I tried scraping two games, and upon exiting Retropie, the changes haven't been saved. The file is back to being blank. All that hard work put into scraping those files is now gone as I have no backup.

      Any ideas on how this could have happened? I run Retropie on a Linux Mint desktop computer.

      I deleted the bad file and I am now able to update the file. So weird. Does anyone have a backup I could use?
