[SOFT] Universal XML Scraper V2 - Easy Scrape with High Quality picture
-
@screech there are some psx games that the scraper can't find, I even changed their names so they match the name in screenscraper
-
@kbronctjr screenscraper can be set to use hashes. Did you try that? It may be the default actually.
-
@kbronctjr Have you tried to find them using the built-in scraper or the sselph scraper?
-
@AlexMurphy I don't think I can use hashes, as most of my games are compressed in pbp format
And yeah I had all games scraped with the builtin scraper, but I wanted to get the collages this scraper provides and also the games description in my language
-
I hate to say this, but sometimes it is just easier to manually enter the ones that the scrapers don't find. They are not always 100% accurate and complete. It is pretty easy to find the videos/images you need for the roms it misses....that is unless you are talking about 100's of misses!
-
@kbronctjr Have you tried? I don't think it caused me any issues. I def have images, the 3 image mix from screenscraper for
.pbpand I only use.pbpfor PSX. -
The problem is the MIX images. I wish the program included a tool to create those mixes using our own image. In this case I could manually get the images from screenscraper an use them as an input in this tool.
I'm gonna try in hash mode just in case
-
@TMNTturtlguy Yeah, I like making my own images too.
-
@kbronctjr well there are solutions for that as well, again not ideal, but if you have access to photoshop it is very easy to do. If you don't have photo shop there is a program called gimp, which is basically a free version of photoshop but not as user friendly. you can collect the images and simply layer them in gimp and save. Takes about 5 minutes of time to do each one. Not fun, but if you are missing 5 roms, it is nice to be able to complete your set.

@TMNTturtlguy If you want something easy to use. GIMP can be a bit intimdating, try https://pixlr.com/editor/

Yeah I know, I just wanted to avoid wasting time, as I'm already wasting a lot of time downloading and re scraping games and downloading different themes. I spend more time doing this that actually playing haha
It would be nice to have a tool to build your own mixes included in this scraper, as it already has the algorithms to build them
-
@kbronctjr
I make my own if I don't like them.
-
@AlexMurphy I think photoshop is easier to use and more powerful than GIMP
Nice MIX you got there
-
@kbronctjr I meant for a beginner. GIMP can be a bit off-putting.And PhotoShop is PhotoShop... Just saying that there are easy on-line applications,
-
@kbronctjr Thanks man.
-
