      I'm new to Linux in general, so bare with me here. I set up Retro Pie on my Raspberry Pi 3. I moved over my roms, and scraped. It took a long time, and several freezes, but it finally finished. Now I'm in the process of going through and fixing the ones that scraped wrong, or couldn't find a match. Problem is, the scraper never finds anything any more, no matter what you enter. For example, it saved Super Mario World as the wrong game. When I go in to scrape it manually, it never finds anything, even if I just search for "mario". So I suspect the pi isn't connecting to the internet.

      I'm not sure how to test the internet in the command line. I disabled wifi, and plugged it into ethernet, and it's still not finding anything when I scrape. At first, I thought maybe the scraper website was down, but this has been going on for over a week. How can I ensure that my internet is working, and narrow the problem down?

      Thanks.
