Favorite scraper to use in Sselphs Scraper
-
Just wondering what everyone's favorite scraper is in Sselphs Scraper. I mostly use USA Roms from No-Intro sets. I love how fast screen Scraper or openvgdb works and screen Scraper seems to get most everything. I've noticed openvgdbs artwork is not as good. Thegamesdb takes forever but I think their video game descriptions are the best of the bunch. What do you guys think?

I prefer TheGamesDB to get all Infos, after that I use universal xml scraper to make mix images and then I merge them together

Hi @EctoOne - what tool do you use to merge your XML files after scraping with different scrapers? I like the way names are handled using the inbuilt scrapers but I want to merge with the description and mix images from the Universal XML Scraper. Thanks in advance for any help!

Since I'm using the complete xml from the inbuilt scraper (not sselphs), I just replace the images afterwards with the one UXS creates. Then I use the RetroPie Metadata Editor to manually check the xml and add/fix the data.
I don't know of any easy way to merge the data from different sources.
