Help with SSelph Scraper
-
Thanks, I found that quitting emulation station takes you to the terminal. From there i entered:
cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo ./retropie_setup.shAfter doing that RetroPie_Setup will run (option 3) and was able to run sselph scraper (option 319). After doing a full scrape, I was getting errors. I notice that 'thegamesdb' is the default scraper. According to this thread that database is down (and has been for a few days) so I changed it to 'OpenVGDB'. I did a scrape for all systems and found some of my ROMS.
A question: Is 'thegamesdb' a larger, better resourced DB than 'OpenVGDB'?
-
@nc4080 yes thegamesdb is a little more extensive but their hosting situation right now isnt the greatest which is why we included alternate databases for these times when thegamesdb is down.

@herb_fargus OK, so at the moment is there only 'thegamesdb' and 'OpenVGDB' for the retropie project?
Are there other DB's or plans to add in other DB's in the future?
-
No there are not any plans currently unless something better becomes available and someone is willing to code it in.

@herb_fargus Is there any indication when 'thegamesdb' might be coming back online? Does it go down very often?

@nc4080
Hopefully they'll keep current updates posted here so you can see if it will work in the future:

@nc4080 read the wiki page.

Every time I type in Sudo I get something like sudo does not exist. What am I doing wrong?

@Moco case sensitive
