      Thanks, I found that quitting emulation station takes you to the terminal. From there i entered:

      cd RetroPie-Setup
      sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

      After 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?

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

                        Are these hash not found errors because thegamedb is down?
