Dreamcast Scraping
-
Hi, hope somebody can help.
I'm having troubles scraping DC roms with both ES and SS.
After extraction the roms have filenames like so:
2006-11-28-StreetFighter-Alpha-3-Pal-DCP.cdi
sa.cdi
2004-04-11-Soul-Reaver-Pal-DCP.cdiI have placed this in the dreamcast rom directory and stuck multi-disc titles in their own directories.
However I never seem to get any results when trying both scraping methods and just see the filenames listed in RetroPie.
I get the following when running SS from the command line:
2016/12/07 22:49:02 INFO: Checking for new hash.csv.
2016/12/07 22:49:02 INFO: hash.csv "e2315a44c3d4c5d200477a109e079f29" up to date.It says 'ROMS have been scarped', but then nothing shows up?!?
All I can guess is that the filenames, which differ from the convention of other formats that succesfully scrape, is causing this; so I'm hoping somebody might be able to point me in the right direction.
After the problems with getting the controller to work and advance past the date/time issue; it's only my love for the DC that is keeping me going :)
Many thanks,

This is probably due to the .gdi being modified. If modified it creates a different md5 the what the scrapper is looking for. You could just use the ES scrapper and manually enter the name to bring it up but SS will always use and look for the TRUE md5 hash.
