[@mauriceenwandakohlbrugge6456]

I just got back into my home arcade and I didn't know how to use the scrapers. Thank you so much for this video and your help..

[@electronicfun8351]

great video! I don't why there are no comments saying that you did great.

[@NoobGameReviews]

Thanks buddy :)

[@ranmoorsi]

Great vid this , really helpful ... question though , I'm using comic book theme and after scraping I'm hearing the video playing but not actually seeing the video , any ideas ?

[@jeffchurney1010]

Very good and helpful video. Thank you for putting it up.

[@NoobGameReviews]

Thanks buddy :) I know these things are a bit complicated sometimes so I made it as easy as possible lol

[@martinward6422]

thank you mate 👊

[@Yan-Digital]

at @2:29, please put an UPERCASE "P" at RetroPie or else, it won't work just like me :) (I double checked what was entered and I saw the uppercase) Hey thanks man btw !

[@jschro446]

Thanks for the video man. What theme are you using and where can one get it?

[@NoobGameReviews]

The theme I’m using is wolfanose 32gb arcade only image from arcade punks :)

[@downscope3133]

A bit of a delay, but the theme is COMICBOOK can be downloaded from ES Themes.

When I try and scrape with video the pi cuts out and reboots after about 20 lines of code runs.

[@04RYZA]

How do you even place an asterisk in the box?! I don't have a mouse attached and nothing works lol.

[@04RYZA]

...spacebar. >_>

[@SlakWReX]

Thanks for the video but I still can't get this to work. Everything goes as it should but when I reboot no videos. Everything stays the same.

[@NoobGameReviews]

Tricky.... have you followed the instructions exactly?

[@SlakWReX]

@@NoobGameReviews yes. I do everything correctly. I pretty tech savvy.

[@SlakWReX]

@@NoobGameReviews so looking in my files through windows, it is downloading all then vids, marquees, and boxart. But it seems the issue is updating the the gamelist.

[@NoobGameReviews]

Is your gamelist set to write? Following the instructions it should overwrite that file

[@SlakWReX]

@@NoobGameReviews after failing for hours i tried changing the gamelist settings enabling roms folder for gamelist and it worked!!

[@firulas25]

Scrapper tells me is not available for download and the other one tells me is busy not available for non registered users any idea?

[@Brbos06]

So, followed the instructions, when I try to scrape it keeps saying it's closed to unregistered users or sometime like that and won't scrape the games. Any suggestions?

[@NoobGameReviews]

It does that if the servers are full, it’s best to leave and try again later :)

[@CloudOmegaVII]

How can I turn it off once the game launched "gamepad 1 configured" ( from down left screen - pop up ). Solution?

[@NoobGameReviews]

You mean how do you stop it from popping up every time you load a game?

[@CloudOmegaVII]

@@NoobGameReviews Yeah every game I start, then it pop up - gamepad configured ( green colour ). How to turn it off?

[@NoobGameReviews]

Go into a game, one for each emulator and goto retroarch options, and goto settings > user interface > menu widgets Toggle to off, exit the menu, goto overrides > save core override and exit. It “should” stop popping up now, I’m away from my pi at the moment but I think that’s right :)

[@V081WLBlue]

Sorry, where are you doing all this from, your laptop or on the Raspberry pi? How do you connect to your pi from laptop? At 2:38 you say something about putty, what are you talking about, you haven't mentioned this previously in your video? I'm lost!

[@adr3im]

You need used PuTTY is a terminal software free google PuTTY and install and looking some videos

[@In-Ear-Studio]

omg... Batocera is the way. Why use Retropie? This isn't user friendly at all... omg.

[@LindyBum1147]

I followed the instructions to scrape with Skyscraper, but although the 90 min scraping seemed successful, there are no media files when I checked the folders. I generated the games list before I noticed this and none of the images, description or videos is displaying for my games. Could I be missing some additional step?

[@NoobGameReviews]

Interesting, when you scrape it should save them to your sd card, now If I remember correct, they don’t save the media files until you generate the games list for the systems you requested......try again and follow instructions as in the video...and I’ll have a think :)

[@Heartbeatpb]

Thanks for the Video. I have a question. If i delete a rom what happens with the files from skyscaper. Are they delete automatically. I dont want the files because i wont save space on the sd card

[@NoobGameReviews]

No, you have to go and delete the manually I’m afraid

[@luminar7962]

when i type in sudo ~/Retropie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh in putty it says command not found... i just want to scrape some games for the PS1 and Sega Cd.

[@NoobGameReviews]

Make sure there is no spaces where there shouldn’t be, Or capital letters. It doesn’t like that

[@luminar7962]

@@NoobGameReviews i tried this just now on the pi it says no such file or directory also in putty on pc.

[@NoobGameReviews]

Interesting, let me go do so research :)

[@NoobGameReviews]

This seems to be the same issue your having.. retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/6011/retro-pie-setup-won-t-launch/6

[@luminar7962]

@@NoobGameReviews thanks, if i reset by following the instructions in this thread will i lose everything that i already have?... i recently got a retropi 3B+ as a christmas gift from a friend. and i don't want to delete anything and mess anything up.

[@damon79]

How do I get 3d box art?

[@NoobGameReviews]

Hey buddy :) the 3D box art will come with attract mode OR different themes, the scrapes don’t do that (as far as I’m aware)

[@gabrielgray]

dude you skipped an entire step, not everyone knows how to use this yet.

[@NoobGameReviews]

I’ve got all sorts of tutorials on my page :) yeah this does assume you’ve done loads of stuff beforehand :)
