[SOFT] Universal XML Scraper V2 - Easy Scrape with High Quality picture
-
@screech Good news. Was able to download the new XML update without any firewall/Windows defender hits.
-
Ok, so mounting the images and remaking them in bin/cue doesn't work. For some reason, I'm now only able to scrap about 3 games. :(
-
:( I'm having all kinds of problems now. I managed to get my SegaCD to scrape with only 1 entry for each finally. Now I'm trying to re-scrape my PSX path. It goes through the "Please wait testing server.." then says it will kill EmulationStation. I click "OK" then it gives me an error "Roms path can't be reached". It's ubsurd. I don't know why it's giving me this error. I checked, and I can access the path fine.
In Putty:
pi@retropie:~ $ cd /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx pi@retropie:~/RetroPie/roms/psx $With a keyboard connected to the PI:
pi@retropie:~ $ cd /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx pi@retropie:~/RetroPie/roms/psx $Through SFTP:
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psxEverything works. So why is UXS telling me it can't access the path?! Argh!

Is Universal XML working when you boot roms off a USB?
I've connected to my Pie via Windows 10, and can see that the scraper makes images in the home/pi/.emulationstation/downloaded_images folder, and the corresponding home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelist links to the above mentioned images, but the images does not show, and it seems that it's still the old scraping from the built-in / sselph scraper metadata that's showing underneath the games.I can see that in my other games folders, the gamelist is in the roms folder, but for this particular folder, it's not there. So where does it get the old metadata from? And how do I reset all this old metadata and start using Universal XML with my roms running off a usb?
-
@AndersHP I have my roms on a usb and have a symlink from the usb0 to the roms folder and the scraping is working well
-
@kbronctjr I'm using the standard method with the automounting, I thought this was preferred.
I still don't understand where the old metadata is, when there's no gamelist in the roms folder..
-
@AndersHP you should have your gamelist home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelist anyway
-
@kbronctjr it's there. Universal XML Scraper made it. The content of this list looks good, and links to the scraped images. But the games do not read this list. That's what I don't understand.
-
@kbronctjr the way I see it is that because I've scraped with the built-in scraper or sselphs, the system looks for images in the images-subfolder of the roms folder. Doesn't use the gameslist in the .emulationstation folder at all!
So should I uninatall sselphs scraper before I can get the system to use the gameslist? -
@AndersHP When I scraped with the visual builtin scraper I had also the images an game list inhome/pi/.emulationstation/
-
@kbronctjr so it must be the sselph scraper that makes a gameslist and images folder in the roms folder. I'll try uninstalling sselphs scraper then...
-
Where do the images come from? for the rom's.

I am having an issue trying to get UXs to work. I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3B and attempting to use USC on a Windows 8.1 laptop. The issue is that UXS does not seem to connect via SSH. I out in the correct host and username/password and try to stop ES and reboot as a test, but nothing happens...no comma d line pops up or anything, assuming it is supposed to. This is using UXS 2 though I also tried an older UXS (Not 2) release that didn't work either, though I did get a command line window popping up in that case. With that one though, the SSH options were entirely greyed out.
I am able to successfully SSH into my Pi with PuTTY and can connect via Filezilla to FTP files over as well. So my PC can connect to the Pi, it just won't work with UXS. Any thoughts on this? Am I missing something painfully obvious?
-
@ghostlywindmill No command line pops up on your PC... It simply uses SSH to kill emulationstation and to read / transfer the files to the stipulated path. What is it you are expecting to see?
-
@ghostlywindmill Download the correct version from here. https://github.com/Universal-Rom-Tools/Universal-XML-Scraper/releases
Set up your profile and what you want. Choose a system at a time, rather than all, then scrape. -
Thanks for the replies. The latest version from that link is the one I am using. The problem is that the SSH commands do not actually shut down ES or reboot my Pi, and whenever I select the raspberry pi as the ROM location it says it can't find ROMs in the autoconfigured path.
It's strange because when my Pi is off and I try an SSH command, it says the SSH command had a problem (tineout); when the Pi is on, I don't get any errors, but nothing actually happens.
Edit: I am only trying with one system, which is NES.
-
@ghostlywindmill Well, first of all, you won't be able to SSH into any computer that isn't powered up or on the network. I hate to say it but it it sounds to me like "user error" ie YOU are doing something wrong. Explain what you are doing and maybe someone will point out your error.
-
I only tried SSH when off as a troubleshooting step. As I already stated, with my Pi on I can SSH into it using PuTTY on a PC and can remotely perform any terminal command. I can also successfully connect to it via Filezilla and add files. Here are my steps:
- Turn on my Raspberry Pi and connect it to the same Wi-Fi network as my PC.
- SSH into it via PuTTY and confirm terminal commands work.
- Open UXS and select the wizard. When I select the Raspberry Pi as the ROM location, it errors out saying it can't find the autoconfigured location.
- I then check the SSH settings and confirm the host, username and password are correct.
- Try to kill ES or reboot the Pi via the SSH menu and nothing happens. No error message is given. If the Pi is off when I try this, there IS an error message, but no message when it is on. This tells me that it is recognizing the Pi but can't seem to access it for some reason.
My problem may very well be used error, but it's not obvious to me what it is since I am only seeing the problem in UXS--no issues with SSH otherwise.

@ghostlywindmill One thing jumps out... what "wizard"? Are you using some odd set-up? Sounds like it to me. Have you configured it properly?
