      Hi @ all,

      I just scraped my roms for the 5th time and still after a restart most systems are empty.... Why can't ES show the scraped info properly? Do I have to modify something in order for it to work?

      Best wishes!

        recommend you use sselph's scraper

        Check the wiki

        https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/scraper

        Make sure you haven't disabled saving meta data on exit if using ES buit in scaper (which is much slower than SSelph's scraper)

          thanks for your reply. but where is that "save metadata on exit" option?

          it DID save for a few systems, but some are forgotten every reboot :(

          does the alternate scraper look the same as the built in? I mean are the results the same?

            update: Steven Selph's Scraper worked great- don't understand why it is not default.
