Scraping media for newly added titles not working #37

Open SRC267 opened 5 months ago

SRC267 commented 5 months ago

Okay, so the scraping worked with the initial setup, after adding a new folder that contains new set of games for neo geo, those media files are not downloading. I've enabled / disabled from the advanced settings. Now there's no dialogue indicating it's doing the scraping. The icons, snaps folders are on the internal memory, maybe I have to set it to external where my roms are also kept? Because I'm using the mame.ini setup. But I don't think that should be the issue. Unless media scraping doesn't support neo geo titles?

I could just try a reinstall, but then what if I add future titles, would those also not get scraped? Also, not sure how to manually add them, I had a look at the Arcade Database website, but wasn't sure how to find missing icons/snaps.

The scraping look for files at the folder you are setted on "general->change ROMS path", yours currently is "/storage/6631-6132/Games" (thats way scrapes nothing, your ROMS are not there but in other folders)

To scrapre the neo geo roms chage temporally on on "general->change ROMS path" to "/storage/6631-6132/Games/SNK - Neo Geo" and disable in advanded settings use mame.ini for paths.

later, change again to "/storage/6631-6132/Games" and enable use mame.ini

let me know if works :)

This did work. Thanks. Just a few obscure games like Chaos Heat are missing icon + snap. And a few more are only missing the icon. That might be just the fact they still don't have database files for meda. But the rest of my 196 games have complete icon/snaps!
