Hi,

Im trying to scrape for one rom not whole folder

Skyscraper -p "nes" -s "screenscraper" -o "/folder/.tmp/" "/folder/game.nes"

But its not working

Can i ouput the image name to same name as rom game name? Or this will be crazy number 234234235?

https://gemba.github.io/skyscraper/USECASE/ Note the two staged processs.

Works as designed.

-o has only an effect in the second stage, when you create the gamelist and write the mediafiles to whatever location.

Sorry but im still dont understand. I just want a single file or folder and get artwork there not in cache folder Just to point directory and get on the same directory artwork for game

When i use code Skyscraper -p "nes" -s "screenscraper" -a "/path/artwork.xml" -o "/path/gamefolder/artwork/" -i "/path/gamefolder/"

I got nothing in artwork folder is empty only in skyscraper in cache i found some covers with strange looking names like 235345345

omg i understand now you must execute that command twice :D

first to get to cache and later generate from that cache

Skyscraper -p "nes" -s "screenscraper" -i "/path/gamefolder/" Skyscraper -p "nes" -i "/path/gamefolder/" -o "/path/gamefolder/artwork/"
