      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

        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.

          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!

            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.

              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?

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

                If it works for Mame πŸ˜‰ 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 ?

                  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..

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

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

                      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?

                          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 πŸ˜ƒ
                          regards

                            Hi @ogroto

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

                            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.

                            Clean your Romset with Universal ROM Cleaner
                            Scrape your Romset with Universal XML Scraper

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

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

                                  @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

                                    another question screech
                                    when i scrape Neo Geo game (neogeo folder)
                                    it end up scrape game as MAME (as shown on software )
                                    and it's scrape just screenshot , no cartridge images
                                    but when i rename folder to Neo-Geo then scrape
                                    the program ask me what type of profile
                                    then i choose Neo Geo AES
                                    then it's work fine everything is include in one image
                                    the question is why neogeo folder is now work foe neo geo game?
                                    thanks

                                      Hi @Tick-Lpsk , it is because the neogeo roms ARE mame games!
                                      As screech's soft check the db based on hash, it find the hashes in mame games.
                                      To sum up, you have the MVS version of games, not AES.

                                      A workaround for this is to go to Edit>Settings and then Advanced at the bottom right.
                                      From that advanced settings screen, set RechSYS value to 0. That way, UXS will always ask for the system. Tell the soft it's AES and here you go!

                                      EDIT: In fact you also need to change the RechAPI in the same screen. Set it to 3|1|2.

                                            Last night i scraped snes succesfully, i'm trying to scrape it now and it fails.

                                            I can't scrape anything, it scrapes 600 roms in 2 minutes. Has anything changed? I've tried another 9 systems with exact same result.
