      Has something changed with the scraper or site? I'm trying to scrape NeoGeo, it looks like it picked up all the correct art but the gamelist doesn't include any "Names".


      Nevermind, looks like I fixed it. For some reason, the data in the fields for Language got erased, so it wasn't scraping the name and descriptions. All working now!

      Who's Scruffy Looking?

        Back again! I don't think the scraper is working right when I'm scraping Dreamcast. I don't have a full set since the place I got mine from were in a mixed format (mostly cdi but some img, nrg, mdf, etc). Since the emulator can only read the cdi format of these, those are the ones I kept. Anyway, when I scrape the system, I get a lot of bad results. MANY games present the boxart of "Sonic Spinball". It even downloaded the videos for that game too. I thought maybe somebody had hacked the screenscraper.fr server, so I looked. Doesn't seem to be the case, as the few games I checked did have the correct box art available. Maybe it matched the wrong checksum? I'm not sure what happened. I'm about to go to bed and let it scrape overnight again. Just thought I'd post it here. Maybe somebody has seen this before or recently and knows whats up?

          @hansolo77 I think there's something on the ScreenScraper side right now - a change in the API or something wonky on their search. I'm not sure UXS gets much activity lately, but one of its succesors is skraper.net. Try using Skraper and see if you get better results.

            @mitu Thanks I'll give it a try. What's the worst that could happen?

              @hansolo77 I don't think the Universal XML Scraper makes it possible to scrape Dreamcast images. I don't see the Dreamcast in program's platform list.

                @screech Sorry to res thread, but doesn't deserve it's own topic. Any reason why <Item Type="SystemWheel"> would no longer be scraping on arcade / MAME files?
