        @viking.hellfire Use a sensible topic when posting - there is no need for so many question marks.

        Have you updated all packages from retropie-setup ?

          @BuZz I am sorry, I am new to this. I built a RetroPie 4.1 using the latest image...everything works...but when trying to use the scraper it moves slow and then doesn't show the information even after a reboot. It cuts out unless I monitor it closely and prevent screen from dimming by touching the controller every few minutes.

            @viking.hellfire see my question above. Also sselphs scraper is a better option and faster. Or can also disable the screensaver I think.

                @BuZz sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh doesn't do anything on my system and I have Retropie 4.1. I get this message, "command not found."

                  @viking.hellfire I will need to see a screenshot or actual log - you may well have typed it wrong. You can access retropie-setup from emulationstation also.

                    @BuZz I am working the problem. I believe the keyboard setup is in UK whereas I am US...it's not providing a tilde symbol...so I am fixing that now...then I will try again.

                      @viking.hellfire CD to /RetroPie-Setup then run the script with "sudo ./retropie_setup.sh" that should fix your issue getting retropie setup to work cheer
