      Other than trying to run the scraping feature from the retropie configuration menu - I have absolutely no experience scraping titles. Is there a link or site with tips on how to match games? Total noob here - any help/tips would be greatly appreciated!

        i recommend using Steven Selph's Scraper.
        it is alot faster then useing the one built in EmulationStation.

          Another alternative scraper, which I use, lets you use your PC (Windows) to scrape roms from your retropie. You can check it out here....
