How do oyu run Scraper on console ROMS

Post by Ferro » Tue Dec 13, 2022 11:09 pm

Hi,

I found the Scraper menu in Attract-Mode but how do I actually run it so that it updates my ROMS, both Arcade and Console?

Thank you. Dan

ARpiCADE doesn't have a built in scraper. Also the one built into Attract-Mode won't work due to the preview folders being on /boot/ which isn't owned by the user.

I've actually kept the scraper scripts I wrote off the builds due to there being no safety for lack of SD card space. Write too many preview vids and the whole system breaks...

While it's far from convenient, I recommend using another system to scrape preview images/vids then just copying them over to ARpiCADE afterward.
