Ok, so I really don't understand why it doesn't work :S

http://www.screenscraper.fr/gameinfos.php?gameid=18624

The game exist, not your CRC but the name is good.

Normally UXS must find it.
Try this

Download the last version
delete all directory and file in UXS dir and put the new EXE
Try to launch UXS in Admin (optionnal)
Choose your language
Choose your profile
Say "Yes" to autoconf
Choose NES in the Edit/auto configuration Menu
Kill Emulationstation in the SSH menu
Clic on the Arrow to scrape.

i found possible problem
but im not sure it is
when i access your link
http://www.screenscraper.fr/gameinfos.php?gameid=18624

its said
Vous devez vous connectez avec une adresse IP v4 visible !

i google translated
its mean
You must log in with an IPv4 address visible!

is it anything to do with my internet provider?

or i block anything
or this site block my IP

:S :S

[screech]

Arg !! Yes !! IP V4 is a necessity and no anonymous tools.

Sorry it's a Screenscraper restriction for security.

Can't you try with a standard connection ?

If you have an IP V6, you can try, MarbleMad just add it to Screenscraper.

[Tick Lpsk]

i cant do anything
maybe it's my country (thailand) internet provider that use this protocol (I'm not sure)
maybe i have to use proxy server to use your software
i'll let you know if it work
case closed

thank you screech!

[tubarao2007]

I have exactly same problem and I have ipv4 connection.
mame works fine, but SNES never works...
No .xml and a missing.txt file created with all my game in directory.

[paradadf]

if it isn't a problem from the ipv4 side, and even more if mame works... then the "problem" is on your side. weird rom names that aren't on the database perhaps?

[screech]

@tubarao2007 I think like @paradadf,
@Tick-Lpsk problem is very specific du to is geolacalisation.

If it works for Mame it should work for everythings...

Your snes problem is certainly du to your Rom. Can you give me one or two name of your Rom ?

[tubarao2007]

Yes, I found the problem.... The name of files is not exactly from screenscraper...
ex.: mine is A.S.P. - Air Strike Patrol (USA).zip --> SS is A.S.P. Air Strike Patrol (USA).zip

Any suggestion to fix it????... I renamed in bath rename software 80%. but some files need more attention..

[screech]

No real sollution if your Rom haven't neither the good name or the good CRC....

You can look for No-Intro Romset they are pretty good and all of them are referenced

[tubarao2007]

Thats ok... I got the No-Intro e all is good. Thanks a lot...
One more question: I have a lot of clones rom in mame and snes. There is a software to find and delete duplicate roms?

[screech]

Look at my signature

Hi screech, your tool is amazing brother, keep it up the good work!
Just some constructive criticism:
The tool takes a lot of time , at least when i scrap 700 roms or so.
Also i couldn't scrap roms that were already scraped from the oficial recalbox scraper, i don't know why,but it just skips them and does not download anything at all. If you fix this then this could be a heaven app
regards

[screech]

Hi @ogroto

I'm working on a Version 2 Much more optimised and stable (with new XML component)
So I hope it become faster than this version

For your problem, if you want to "rescrape" the game already scraped by recalbox inner scraper, 2 solutions :

• In Edit/Config menu choose "New XML File"
• Or simply delete your old gamelist.xml on your recalbox.

[ogroto]

Hello! i think i have already done both things. And still it does not download them. Both are 700+ roms snes and megadrive.

[screech]

Have you deleted Image in download_image directory too ?
If a picture exist, it didn't download it again to spare some time

[ogroto]

@screech Yes i deleted both, gamelist.xml in megadrive roms folder and also the complete download_image directory. I'm scraping rigth now will tell you soon how it goes. Thanks.
Edit: So, after 90 mins, the scraper only downloaded 3 images, which are the latest roms i added to the list. It created the xmls but only 3 images downloaded.
Edit2: ok so i think i found the issue, the scraper seems to not like .zip roms, at least for megadrive and snes. I use them compressed because i use a small sd 16gb card, and when it tries to scrap them zipped it doesn't work, but if i uncompress some rom the program works ok
Edit3: Ok so, there was a problem with my roms, half of them are not any of the correct CRCs that are listed in screenscraper.fr, which is really odd and also makes me redownload but found the issue. By the way, the software works a lot faster if you do everything in your pc HDD and then transfer the files manually to the Raspberry Pi. Screenscraper.fr takes a lot of time to load for me (i'm from Argentina) so maybe that is why also the app is slow. It is taking time but looking great so far! I'm really happy thanks again
