Odd scraping glitch (?)

Open mtb1126 opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

So I had originally used the default scrapper for my ROMs, and it worked fine, but some games like F-Zero weren't showing up and some other PSX and NES titles. I decided to use sselph, but after I rebooted, even more games were missing. I checked and aparently thegamedb was down for maintainence at around the same time, and stayed off into the evening. After it came back on line, I tried using the default scrapper again, but now it has a hard time finding the titles and when it does, it no longer gives an image. Same for sselph. I'm a complete noob at this pi stuff and using the terminal and such (although I'm sure emulationstation was down when I ran sselph). Please help.

My scraper, by default, will overwrite all the metadata you have scraped but won't download an image, video, etc if it already exists. It is possible some nonsense images were downloaded if you were running it from the command line you could delete the images folder in the rom directory or if you used the retropie-setup method you could remove /home/pi/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/<system>
