      Please, read the thread if you want to know how everything work. Just a few messages before I wrote this:
      https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/2594/batch-scrape-your-roms-on-your-pc-fastscraper/48
      It depends on the data source you choose and if the rom hash is in that database. Like all scrapers, it is always better to use no-intro romsets.

        @paradadf Can you please explain to me what im doing wrong? Ive downloaded scraper.exe and fastscraper.
        Ive put them in a folder called "roms" on my desktop and inside said folder are all the systems with roms that i want to scrap. I click on fast scraper, it starts, asks me "which systems do i want to scrape? All? " i enter "all"
        then i append the existing game list. hit enter and nothing happens. What am i doing wrong?

          @wggallagher it is impossible that nothing happened... what does the console says? Do you get the duration? Have you downloaded the correct scraper.exe (64bit version on a 32bit computer)?

            @paradadf I believe so, I'm running Windows 10. I downloaded the windows386 .zip. should be the right one.

                        @paradadf if I tell it to scrape nes, instead of all, it does the same thing after the append question. But I can just run scraper.exe and it starts downloading pictures into a "images" folder it creates

                          @wggallagher have you changed anything inside the batch file? Try downloading it again. I have no idea what is happening. Otherwise, it must be something wirh your computers configuration.

                            @paradadf no, I didn't touch the batch file. I'll try downloading again. I see that it's suppose to produce a images folder and a gameslist.txt. Where do the they go on the memory card, if I get this to work? I know I have to stop emulationstston. I just don't know where to put those 2 new items though when I get them

                              @wggallagher They go exactly as the structure you created on your computer (that should be the same as on Recalbox). Next to the roms goes the gamelist.xml and the subdirectory downloaded_images.

                                @paradadf ok, the 2 items created go in the roms folder. OK, thank you very much.

                                      I'd say you are having too many requests response XD
                                      That depends on the data source. Have you increased the workers? Probably your IP is doing too many requests in a short period of time and the API is blocking you, I don't know.

                                      Fastscraper ist just a sort-of interface for sselph's scraper. I don't know exactly what every error displayed by it means, sorry.

                                        It Only happens at night. At mid-day is perfect, so I suppose is a server limit for Ip range.


                                        Creo que hablas Español, asi que tambien te lo dejo escrito en español 😛
                                        Creo que solo ocurre de noche, a medio dia funciona perfecto. creo que es una limitacion que esta aplicando el servidor a un rango de ips en concreto (yo estoy con movistar)

                                          I'm pretty NooB at this. How do I run commands from the RP3 in order to stop the emulation station before copying? I'm using a Windows PC.
