Scraper neogeo and batch rename images.
-
Sometimes I can punch my self in the face, I had a perfect retropie up and running and just wanted to change something s now I need to start all over again.
So I am sorry for asking these questions.
I can't seem to scrape my neogeo Roms and fba Roms. I have a work around, place it in a empty mame folder and copy everything.. I am probably doing something wrong. I use the scraper outside es of course.
Second thing, the images aren't that nice from the scraper sometimes. I have flyers from mame games that I want to use. Now I need to rename every file -image. Does someone have a batch rename file?
It would be so perfect if I can get my pi back to it old self again.

@trekdrop what kind of renaming do you need?
There are actually tons of renaming softwares out there. -
I need to add -image behind every JPEG picture so it will show up in es.
-
@trekdrop you can use bulk file renamer or there are plenty of Linux examples of doing it through the terminal eg

An easy way to rename is the rename command
rename -n 's/\.jpg$/-image.jpg/' *.jpg
Remove the -n when the dry run output looks correct. The command just finds .jpg at the end of the file name and replaces it with -image.jpg. -
Nice. This batch file will add -image to every file in the folder.
Like:
Batman.jpg
To:
Batman-image.jpg

@trekdrop Yep
cd to the image folder then run that command. It will print what it wants to do. If that look right, remove the
-nand it will actually do it. -
Hmm.. cant seem to figure out how it works. use lay i use a batch file (that one i cant find).

@trekdrop not a batch file. Would be shell script meant to run on Linux. Or just a command in the Linux terminal.
