ScummVM had change a lot's on Recalbox and Retropie since I worked on it....
I really need to "redo" this part in UXS... I put that in my Todo list ;)
Made a change to RetroPie so you should be able to simply scrape the .svm files.
Just need to get screenscraper.fr to accept these .svm files :D

I think it would be better if UXS just parsed the scummvm.ini file (\retropie\configs\scummvm\scummvm.ini) which contains all the information about installed games.
It shouldn't be difficult to parse this ini file and grab all the game names and paths from there. It has the benefit that the descriptions are the same for everyone (ScummVM always uses the same description for each game variant) so matching by name alone should be no problem!
Hashing ScummVM games does not work well, in my experience. There are far too many different variants of each game (compressed/uncompressed/stripped of extra files, etc.). If you use the values from the .ini file you can forget hashing entirely. ScummVM knows what the files are already.
My scummvm.ini file is below so you can see what I mean.
