I'm getting the error everyone's getting (API closed for non-registered members) when using ScreenScraper through Project Lunar. I've also been spending the last week setting up a RetroPie and was getting the same error, but was able to get around the issue by registering a free account with ScreenScraper and then editing the config.ini file in the scraper program to include my user credentials. With this method I was able to scrape all game metadata in about 10 minutes both to my RetroPie and to my PC. It doesn't seem like there is any way to include user credentials for ScreenScraper in the Project Lunar, so I can't apply the same solution here. Can we get an enhancement to allow the user to specify user credentials to include with the API call to ScreenScraper to avoid these errors?
