Artwork Question
-
Pi Model: 3
RetroPie Version: 4.1
Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
USB Devices connected: Wired xbox 360
Controller used: Wired xbox 360
Error messages received: NoneWhats up. I'm going to do a fresh install of RetroPie to my sd card. I've done this a few times, which is not an issue. My question is, is there a way of save all my scrapped artwork? Or will I have to rescrape all that again? In the past I've never had scrapped any systems so it was no loss. I was thinking of just copying the contents of
/pi /.emulationstation/downloaded_images
and maybe the .xml would transfer? But I don't know. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks. -
@celly personally I prefer to keep my scrapes with my ROMs. There is a setting in sselphs scraper to scrape to the ROM folder. That way when I transfer my ROMs the scrapes go with it and I never have to scrape again unless I add new games.
But if you've already scraped to the default location yes you can copy the downloaded images and the gamelist.xmls
