I’m going to guess the “confusing” part is the image extension discrepancy – if so, this may be due to other scrapers – I put in the effort to make sure this scraper plays nicely with the built-in ES scraper, but if another scraper was run, it could have created conflicting entries. The fact that running it on a fresh install produces good images, seems to confirm that possibility. But if you do find that my scraper is causing causing an issue, I’d like to know the steps to reproduce, so I can fix it.

As for the order the scraper processes – the order of systems in the es_systems.cfg defines the order the platforms are processed. The order the ROMs are processed within each platform folder is arbitrary (I’m not sorting it) – so the order is actually defined by the OS.
