Can't scrape roms for TurboGrafx-CD (aka PC Engine CD-ROM² System)?
-
What a great little system with so many good games, one of my favorites. Why is this the only system that won't scrape for me? I tried everything. There are no special characters in the filenames. I thought maybe having them in a sub-directory named CD-ROM was causing it, but it wasn't, I took them out to test and still no matches. I tried Sselph and the ES scraper. I think the scrapers are not treating PC Engine CD as a different system and so they're searching the regular PC Engine database. I don't want to manually edit meta data. Is this a known issue?
Thanks!!

How many titles have you tried? I've found that the ES scraper will only find a small portion of the games due to it's imprecise name search method and that Sselph's scraper must indeed lack support due to it's otherwise extremely precise hash check method. All in all I've successfully scraped one out of the eight games I've tried.

I have the same issue. Some titles are present in the turbografx-cd section of thegamesdb.net, but they are not found when scraping. I assume this is due to the fact that the scraper looks into the turbografx 16 section of thegamesdb.net (not the cd). A possible solution would be to create two separate rom directiories like it is now for genesis and segacd, so that the scraper would look in the correct thegamesdb.net section.
