[quote=82649]manually replace the contents of the files with:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gameList>
</gameList>

I then run the scraper, I believe it will work…

You are amazing. The gamelist.xml files were actually empty, but when I pasted the above text it now works. Thanks!

[quote=82647]You should understand however that the scraper isn’t exactly the best part of RetroPie lol, it has a lot of issues overall and you should consider using the Pi version of sselph’s scraper:

Thanks, I am checking this out now. Are there more clear instructions somewhere? I downloaded the zip but the directions found on the main page don’t make a lot of sense to me.

Interesting… I went to /home/pi/.emulationstation/downloaded_images and all of the scraped images are there. Weird that Retropie isn’t pulling them up.

gamelist.xml found in /home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/nes is blank. Not sure if that’s the issue or not.

[quote=82640]which systems are you having trouble with?
i got mine to save for some (Sega CD) but not for others like the sega master system[/quote]
I am trying NES and SNES. Both are failing to save.

Do I not have permissions correct? I didn’t change anything from the basic install

[quote=82615]After scraping select the quit emulation station option instead of shutdown or restart. It should save after that point.[/quote]
Thanks, I’ll go try that.
*4 mins later*
No go. I properly quit the ES after having added some games. I then pulled the power plug to see if things were saved when it started back up, they were not.
