      Hi,

      Version: 18.06.27
      Raspberry Pi3B

      I am unable to scrape PSX games, because my gamelist.xml is always 1KB.
      This is not happening with any other system.

      If I delete it, it will create a new one, but with 1KB, is that normal?
      I can't remember if gamelist is empty by default..... but think gamelist.xml is being generated corrupted.

      These are the contents of a brand new Gamelist file:

      <?xml version="1.0"?>
      <gameList />

      alt text

      Shouldn't be more like:

      <?xml version="1.0"?>
      <gameList>
      </gameList>

      I tried killing ES and manually editing the file with nano, when I save it and reboot, it goes back to it's initial state.

          Solved it seems universal scraper wasn't properly killing ES, after using /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop, I was able to scrape just fine
