[BATCH] Scrape your roms on your PC - fastscraper
-
@icelancer there is something weird with your compiled version. When running a batch with the command
scraper.exe -versionyou should get something likev1.4.4and 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.
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.
-
@randyslim76 probably... if you can‘t automatically overcome that point, try setting/forcing the arch variable one line after the code you just posted.
If afterwards the download, extraction, etc isn‘t working, just download the corresponding version from sselph scraper github page and place the scraper.exe nect to the fastscraper.bat.If your question was answered, please mark it as solved: Topic Tools -> Ask a question + Topic Tools -> Mark as Solved

@paradadf I greatly appreciate all of the extensive help, but I'm not good at coding. So could you please explain that simpler terms Thank you.
-
@randyslim76 I‘ll try to make some sort of debug batch for people having problems with the registry and powershell

@paradadf Thank you very much. I truly appreciate it.
-
@randyslim76 just download this simple batch and run it on your pc:
fastscraper_debug.bat (batch for direct download)
fastscraper_debug.bat (batch code)
show me the output afterwards.If your question was answered, please mark it as solved: Topic Tools -> Ask a question + Topic Tools -> Mark as Solved
-
@paradadf Thank you. I will as soon as I get home tonight.
-
Still having the same errors.
-
@randyslim76 ok, but that narrows down the problem. Are you sure you can‘t scrape at all? Not detecting the languange shouldn‘t be a problem for the scraping itself as english is chosen then.

@paradadf Yes I'm sure. It does exactly what it did before. Still has the registry error and cannot detect language. Wish there was a way to ask these other two gentlemen that figured out the issue to help with the issue. Thank you so very much for trying to figure out the issue.

@randyslim76 execute this batch and copy paste here the generated output.txt please:
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=79263591375427261106The batch contains only:
@echo off >output.txt ( reg Query "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop )It is very weird that the registry isn¨t found on your computer and that will shed some light.
