      I'm using RetroPie 4.1, image from the website, on a Pi 3. I can't scrape box art images using sselph scraper. Not with the RetroPie-Setup nor using the command line setting the flags -console_src="gdb" -console_img="b". Is this even possible?

      Also, see https://github.com/sselph/scraper/issues/92

            @J.Beau you probably need to update the scraper.

              Did that just now. Didn't work. I'm going to add them manually. Thanks for your help though :)

                @J.Beau don't do it manually... that's way too much work! Try this instead:
                https://github.com/paradadf/recaltools/tree/master/fastscraper

                Try scraping your games on your computer and see if you get the covers. The generated gamelist should be retropie compatible as well. Otherwise you can modify it accordingly.

                  @paradadf Read your reply too late, haha! I found a cover pack and matched the filenames to the images the scraper downloaded. Didn't take that long. Now the Neo Geo covers look far better than the rest of the game systems... :)
