[Windows] The scraper doesn't work with NES nor N64 ROM's #309

The scrapper function doesnt work with NES ROMS nor N64 ROMS. It works with Genesis, SNES and so on.

Hi, the database and scraper we currently use are temporary. A game must match exactly via CRC32, by its filename or have an extension that maps to a single console to be added to the library. Only the first two will give you artwork, and only if the database actually has artwork for that game. If you're really curious, grab an SQLite viewer and see the database for itself. It's at frontend/metadata/openvgdb.sqlite.

This will all be improved in the future.

I checked and match...probably a minor bug. But as you said, this can be improved. Your work is amazing, so keep doing it! This the only Front-end for libretro which really has a nice looking as OpenEmu. All you need is more developers I guess.
