Help with SSelph Scraper & Mame 0.78

[RomiBraman]

Hi guys,

I have the Mame 0.78 full rom set installed on my retropie.

I have tried using SSelph scraper to scrape the file and I have a 90% misses ratio with the message "error processing xxx.zip: hash not found".

This includes some very classic games like the Street Fighters so I'm pretty sure it should work.

I'm thinking the reason for this bug is that I've had to rebuild the romset for better compatibility as explained here :
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Managing-ROMs

(the file names have not been changed though...)

Any workaround would be quite appreciated.

Thanks,

Romi

You can use the Universal XML Scraper (Retropie version) from a Windows PC instead.

Thanks, The Universal XML Scraper has worked perfectly.

the only thing i found a little disappointing is that the image downloaded is a screen-cap and not the cool promo picture or Arcade cabinet picture the ES scrapper is giving.
Also I'm missing the release date.

But anyway the result is 10 X better

@RomiBraman the release date should be there. Otherwise you are more than welcome to contribute to the database (www.screenscraper.fr)!

There are many tricks with the UXS to change what media you get. Soon the v2 will be released with huge improvements (so I heard), and making those tricks easier to use.
