@Gonzakpo Thank you very much for your feedback! I found an easy fix... (I hope!).

Great! It's working as excepted now Thank you.

I will try the other scraper you recommended.

@Gonzakpo you can change the folder name and location in the for-loop in the main part. If you need help, tell me where exactly you want to store it and I'll find the correct way (or die trying!).
Mamedb is down since today so maybe by fba, mame and neogeo was the problem? Or every other system too? sselph's scraper hasn't enabled arcade systems yet.

Yes, the problem is for mame. So I have to wait for mamedb to be up again.

About the image folder, I know how to modify the script. I'm just pointing that if I change the variable "imagePath" to anything I want like "game_images" it changes the ppath stored in the gamelist.xml but NOT the actual place where the images are downloaded. I'm just saying that It would be nice if you use the same variable "imagePath" for both things (gamelist path and stored folder) so they match. I know how to modify it, I'm just suggesting you an improvement of the script

Anyway, thanks for your help!!

Hi. Thanks for the script. I've just found a little error on it. If I change the parameter where downloaded images are stored, it just changes the value in the gamelist xml. It doesn't change the actual place where they are downloaded (the command is hardcoded to download always on downloaded_images).

By the way, two days ago everything was working great. And now most of my roms are giving me "hash not found" although I verified the hashes and they have not changed. Well known games like 1942 are giving me "hash not found". Is something wrong with the scraper.exe ? I'm using the latest one.
