FM Towns & FM Towns Marty will not scrape with Screenscraper

[TPR]

I cannot get FM Towns and FM Towns Marty to scrape using screen scraper.

Looking at the platform ID's in:
https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/blob/master/es-app/src/PlatformId.h

It looks like it is not a supported platform in es_systems?

Is it possible that it can be added since the console seems to work perfectly fine on the RetroPie?

Sure, we can add a fmtowns system with ScreenScraper scraping support. Is the system also supported by TheGamesDB ?

Seems to be:
https://thegamesdb.net/list_games.php?platform_id=4932

Although the couple of games I tried to scrape with gamesdb didn't come back with any fm towns specific support. (I tired Marble Madness and a couple of other games that are a bit more common, so I need to try a few more obscure games.)

@mitu Yes, so trying a few more, I did get an FM Towns Marty specific scrape for "Muscle Bomber: The Body Explosion" from thegamesgb. There seems to be a lot more content for this system in Screenscraper, though.

FWIW, I just added FM Towns to Skyscraper - https://github.com/Gemba/skyscraper/pull/95/files

Awesome!

The -dev version of EmulationStation should have scraping support for fmtowns now, the system's platform must also be named fmtowns.

Thank you!
