      So I achieved a milestone the other day when I finished scraping a lot of my metadata using sselph scraper and decided to use win32 Disc Imager to read a copy to my desktop for a backup which I have done successfully before I scraped the metadata. My problem arose when I finished reading the SD card, there was no disc image. Instead I got a file, just a file, not a .img. I have no idea why because I honestly backed up my SD card multiple times before. I can only assume it had something to do with me scraping my metadata or maybe I just have too may roms now? Not sure what's going on here but I would love any feedback or solutions you guys might have, thanks!

          Looks like that did it, hilarious because I could have sworn I didn't do that before and it worked. Rookie mistake thanks a ton!
