ES default scraper isn't working!

NSeroux

Hi!
I used Steven Selph scraper to scrape my roms and I'd like to correct some mistakes he did by using the ES scraper, but it doesn't work. It just says "No Game Found, Skip". i used the scraper before withe the same configuration and it used to work but now, nothing...
Could someone help me please?
Thanks

Ok, I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with Retropie 4.1 and the pre made SD Image.
The problem isn't on a specified file or emulator because the scraper doesn't work anywhere, and I don't know how to replicate the problem.

The server could be down. Double check your own internet connection as well. If you find that both are active, try manually entering the game's title, as it can sometimes be malformed during a basic search.

I tried entering the game's title, and it didn't work. I'll try later, to see if the servers are down (my internet connection is ok). Thank you very much!

@NSeroux thegamesdb is down quite frequently so if scraping stops working that's probably why. You can always. Check their site first before scraping just to make sure.

I got exact the same problem with RetroPie v4.1.5 (updated from pre-made image v4.1) and a RPi3 Model B. Thegamesdb.net is up and running, so that would not be the problem I guess..

The website can be up, but the API can be down... It's 2 differents things.

Maybe you can try : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5291/soft-universal-xml-scraper-v2-easy-scrape-with-high-quality-picture

(if you have a Windows PC)

Looks nice :) Will give it a go.

I installed the latest version of retropie last week and i haven't been able to scrape either. Got an error log when i shut the pie down about the scraper not working

You need to go back and delete the gamelist files from every console. They'll most likely be red. Hit F8 on each one from each console and confirm the delete. Reboot the emu station and re scrape all the games. I suggest scraping from the archive. I believe the files are .xml files
