        @DarkWolf The files are in .iso format

        Just as another data point, I posted this same question on https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/65yy2j/no_results_when_scraping_psp_games/dgendfd/ and someone mentioned that scraping did work, but on a previous version of retropie.

          @jplank seems like sselph scraper doesn't support iso files.

          That kinda sucks, haha

            I basically had the same problem on 4.1 (using both the GUI and command line scraper) and ended up manually editing the file through a Metadata Editor for each psp game. For some reason they psp .iso's just throw off the scrapper.

                  @jplank Yeah, didn't have any problems with NES/SNES/GBA. Sure a couple of games where missed/unknown but the three psp games I had just did not work.

                    @Triquick Sorry, to clarify, I meant did non-iso psp files scrape correctly? My understanding is that psp roms can come in other formats?

                    @DarkWolf Where did you hear that? Was it with the current version of RetroPie? Or a previous version?

                      @jplank I read it somewhere in this issue post:
                      https://github.com/sselph/scraper/issues/30
                      it is for the scraper based on go for retropie by sselph (not the scraper you can install via retropie)
                      You could give that one a try if you haven't already

                        @DarkWolf Yeah, I've tried all three scrapers and haven't had luck with any. But, it's good to know that other formats work ok though, if it ends up that there really is no way to get iso's to scrape properly.

                          interesting about it being iso's all of mine are as well. Anyone know if you can use psx2psp to just turn them into pbp files the same way that you make multi discs for psx?
