      Good Day,

      I have tried just about everything and can't seem to get Sselph Scraper to scrape my Mame 2003 roms.

      I have the .78 reference rom set and paired it down to about 550 roms. These are located in the roms/mame-libretro directory. All roms work with the emulator and load just fine.

      I have a basic RetroPie install and have updated the setup script and all packages as of yesterday. I quit ES and run the RetroPie Setup Script via command line and select the Sselph Scraper. Choose Mame Libretro and it just gives me "hash not found" for all roms. I've tried every combination in the options with the same result. I've tried the internal scraper, but it misses and renames a bunch of roms and doesn't have info for many.

      After searching the forums/google for some time, I can't find a step by step guide on how to do this. I've tried to download the scraper from github to a windows pc and copied the scraper file into my roms folder, and still couldn't get anything to work with the "scraper -mame" command in the directory.

      Thanks for any help...

        @surfdesign mamedb (where the scraper gets the information/images from) is down: https://github.com/sselph/scraper/issues/115

        the scraper needs some changes to use a different resource.

          The source mamedb.com is down. I have the same problem, hopefully the site will be back soon.
