      After updating to 4.1 my Mame list shows only the coded names not the actual game name. This makes scraping or even simply looking for a specific game almost impossible. I'm using Mame set 0.78. This was not a problem in 4.0. Is anyone else having this problem and does anyone have a fix?

        @dinkydinkypoo yeah this is a new thing in 4.1 but it shouldn't forbid scraping ? sure it doesn't work ?

          @voljega Yea, it doesn't seem to scrape at all. The scraper just skips through all the games in a couple seconds and doesn't recognize anything. It says I don't have a system set but I'm pretty sure I do or I don't know how to.

                Hey @voljega, I'm still having no luck. Any idea why they decided to use the file names for Mame instead of true names? Where can I find the umxl scraper thread? I've looked for it but can't find it. I'd love to try the other features of 4.1 but it's basically useless to me if I don't figure this out. I can't have a stand up arcade cabinet if the people playing it can't find the games they want.

                    Thanks @voljega but I think I found a work around, not exactly a fix. I flashed the card back to my 4.01 image and scraped from there for a time. After rebooting I upgraded and now the scraper seems to work just fine. I can't say why that had an effect but it did so I'm good now. Thank you very much for the help.
