      Hello, this is a minor issue but I'm currently trying to scrape my dreamcast games, however it doesnt seem to recognise the "dreamcast" folder. I have tried renaming it to dc, segadreamcast and dreamcast but no results. This text file appears in the folder after attempting scraping:
      Game,Error,Hash,Extra dreamcast\scraper.exe,hash not found,,

      Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks fellas

        @anonpebbles the scraper doesn’t scrape the folder but whatever rom file you have inside of it.

          great exellent tool, thanks alot, i just had a problem with the batch getting stuck as it couldnt recognise the OS lenguage, i deleted that line of code, and after that it worked nice. Ive seen that other dude had a similar problem and thats how i solved mine, so perhaps you might want to look at that part of the code, im using windows 7x64 with sp1 in spanish mexico type. Thanks again.

                Hey!
                I have constant crash when attempting to scrape
                Every single time it will crash on 5 specific games in my mame game list.

                There is nothing in the folder except one single game. Columns.zip
                And as i said regular scrape without ur batch file will go throu that without error.
                Do u know whats causing this?

                Ok i went and tested each line separately it seems that -download_marquees="true" is causing the crash.. i cant tell why..


                ok Sorry it has nothing to do with ur batch, i have posted issue on sselph git

                    Add an option to turn off scraper.exe autoupdate. its easy to compile from git with go. And bat keeps bringing old exe instead of my new compiled one. Had to manually cut the code for update.

                      @icelancer have you tried increasing scraper.exe version number before compiling? I‘d need to check that. If you can, please open an issue about this on github do I don‘t forget about it, please.

                        @paradadf Should i have? I just compiled from git

                        BTW , answer me this if u can , thanks.
                        Is it possible to tell batch when asking for system name , to give him folder name with space ?
                        I am in process of sorting rom folder to their original names and i am stuck with this bat now.

                        i tried :
                        Sega Dreamcast
                        "Sega Dreamcast"
                        'Sega Dreamcast'
                        it keeps finding Sega OR Dreamcast, as not found. But not Sega Dreamcast

                          @icelancer meh 😞 not even "all" can see folders with spaces..
                          for /F "delims=" %f in ('dir /B /A:D') do set system=!system! %f
                          Lists folders properly:
                          set system=!system! Sega Dreamcast

                          Why isnt it finding Sega Dreamcast then?

                              @icelancer EmulationStation doesn‘t have system names containing more than one word (or spaces), so I didn‘t bother taking that case into account. Do you really need it? Why don‘t you use folder names like ES?

                              About your first question... could you send me your compiled version so I can test it?
                              Maybe changing == by GEQ in the update check might be enough.

                                @paradadf Sorry but yeah, i am kinda heavy on heaving everything sorted top notch. Making rom folder names to their specs is priority to me. I already spent a week modifing all database to match it.
                                it also makes all 3 frontend systems working in sync
                                BUT its not priority for you at all. I found workaround for batch fastscraper by doing dirty hack to it.

                                here is scraper

                                https://mega.nz/#!MxQ0HJQa!h6RU6cHjV83F8T7d7wPDOfFJdwo_P8t0EKz-ruVDa4c

                                it reads :
                                fastscraper ver. 14.09.2017

                                  @icelancer I‘ll see what I can do. Hopefully I find some time to test one thing before sselph uploads a newer version 🙂
                                  I meant the scrapers version, not fastscrapers version. But don‘t worry... your compiled version should be enough.

                                    @icelancer there is something weird with your compiled version. When running a batch with the command scraper.exe -version you should get something like v1.4.4 and not an empty string. Moreover, your scraper.exe is over 8 mb while the one sselph offers is only 5,5 mb. I´m not sure where in his code the versioning is being made, but you´ll need at least the same version number as the latest one available on github for the update script to be skipped. Erasing that part of the code is easier (if you really need it) instead of adding a switch.

                                    About your folder names with spaces... I´ll look into it when I have time.

                                      @paradadf I don't know why the discrepancy in size. Its clean Git compile.
                                      I tried scraper -version
                                      doesnt print anything.
                                      Btw i noticed its not just me who is insisting on up to the code rom folder names. Every Hyperspin user insists on the same as well, i didnt knew that. But when i think more on it i honestly do not see any legitimate reason for ES to use manufactured names like they do.Its pure chaos and a mess.

                                      P.S
                                      I also noticed havoc when collections got support in ES. People even made topic to organize "new unified" names for them. Its hilarious.

                                        @javier-sandoval Can I inquire what exactly was changed in the fastscraper.bat file to fix the Windows 7 64bit issue you were having?
                                        I am having the exact same issues. Thank you.

                                        Also if an Admin or if anyone knows how or what he did to get fastscraper.bat to get past this registry error I would deeply appreciate it. Thank you.

                                          @randyslim76 for the interface language, I added this line which might help you if the pc language isn‘t recognized:

                                            @paradadf I changed the language to en on mine and the language error is gone. I'm proud you figured that part out. Now the registry error from what I read above when you helped out the chap to figure out his 64bit issues he said he deleted and or edited several lines of the code. Do you have any idea what these two gentlemen did to make it work without the error? Thanks in advance. 0_1516838330062_IMG_20180124_175839.jpg

                                            Also I haven't had a chance to try it but would this be the section that is causing the registry error?

                                            These are the changes he said he made to get the batch working.
