The first problem is that it doesn't check the right place for the config file (ES 2.x has moved the config file to /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg). After correcting the config file path the script reported to run successfully, but none of my roms were scraped.

For the script to work correctly with ES, a few things need to be changed:

It needs to check two places for the es_systems.cfg file, picking the first that exists:

It needs to be changed to use the new es_systems.cfg format (it is now XML).

It needs to use the new .emulationstation directory structure:

You might also want to put saved images in $HOME/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/[SYSTEM_NAME]/[GAME_TITLE]-image.extension to match the integrated ES scraper, but this is not required.
