[SOFT] Universal XML Scraper V2 - Easy Scrape with High Quality picture

[hooperre]

@screech Gutted. Just deleted and restarted and same issue. The last working version for me was 2.1.0.6 with MIX files.

2.1.0.6 Log.txt: https://pastebin.com/qtUJGc5n
2.1.0.6 TEMP/config.xml: https://pastebin.com/7UBi2R7z

Edit: Just realized this last log file doesn't help because the program crashed on opening.

@screech

Does this error shed any light? Just happened when I ran the 32-bit version.

[hooperre]

@screech Ahh!

I changed the image type to .jpg and it downloads the alt file as a .jpg and the MIX as a .png. Not sure why/how/whatever, but it works for me if need be!

Edit: Seems like the only funky thing is that a lot of the wheel art/carts aren't showing up correctly. For example I know this game has a wheel art...

@screech Strange.... When I open a second instance of the program, this is the error message I get:

@paulyw84 Curious what you're running? Windows 10?

[PaulyW84]

@hooperre Yes, running on 64 bit Windows 10

[hooperre]

@paulyw84 Same. And I was having Windows defender type problems. With previous releases, I wasn't even able to download the .exe or .zip files. Wonder if it's still causing us headaches.

ETA: Even when I disable Windows Defender for it, it will assert itself.

[PaulyW84]

@screech Any other suggestions please? Still won't let me scrape. Have checked my antivirus and firewall settings.

[screech]

@PaulyW84 You have this message when you launch a Scrape, UXS try to start the "engine" and engine don't start...

Try to delete your UXS folder (except the main EXE) and relaunch it (it will recreate all the file)

[PaulyW84]

@screech still the same unfortunately.

Have tried your suggestion and have also redownloaded the program but still the same. I tried both versions https://github.com/Universal-Rom-Tools/Universal-XML-Scraper/releases/download/2.2.0.3/Universal_XML_Scraper.exe and https://github.com/Universal-Rom-Tools/Universal-XML-Scraper/releases/download/2.2.0.3/Universal_XML_Scraper64.exe have also tried running as administrator.

Have tried scraping off my portable hard drive and also my main hard drive but I get the same message every time that the roms folder can't be reached.

@paulyw84 for me, it only run the Silent_UXS shortcut.

Best scraper ever!

Hi @screech! Thank you for your soft., is very useful!

I've got a question. There is a way to scrape new roms into an existing list without overwrite the previous one? I say this because sometimes I want to change the default scraped name (for example "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" by "Ninja"), and I do it manually with the option "edit metadata" in the GUI; and then, when I make a new scrap on my list, I would like to keep those changes.

I've tried the "Update XML (Add New Rom)" option in General Configuration, but it doesn't work.

Thank you for your work again!

I get path can't reached when I open this program up what up. I even put my ip in the host still no go.

Hi,
currently testing different scraper.
Is it possible to get images like this one here: https://www.dafont.com/forum/attach/orig/2/5/253715.jpg
using XMS scraper?

@fenris So only the boxart? I believe there are options where you can select what image should be used. If not, it should be possible to edit the profile manually.

[fenris]

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Do you know where i can change that on Windows?

Regards
fenris

@fenris You can change all the options under "Options" > "Visual". Go to "Visuel Type" and set it to "Simple Visual". Then use "2D Cover" under "Default Visual" for the simple box art or "3D cover" for the 3D box art.

What I like to do is to also set "Screenshot" for "Alt Visual" in case there is no cover art available. And also "Wheel" under "Marquee" for the simple style marquee. I hope this helps.

Would be cool, if there was a preview.
So we could see what ist would be look like....
