Hey Mapache, I can’t believe I didn’t respond sooner to say thanks for the response and what must have been a great deal of effort to sort all those screenshots out.

Really appreciate it.

Yeah, I was being stoopid. Not the first time.

I was making these changes remotely through SFTP and clearly didn’t shut down ES before doing so; it’s exactly as you said, the XML files were being overwritten. Really appreciate the help there kitchuk.

Here’s my next question though: I’m now having to manually go through my MAME romset (I have the complete 0.37b5 romset) and name everything manually in the XML file and get my own artwork, because the scraper isn’t able to match up the original ROM names 99% of the time. Has anyone managed to scrape these ROMs successfully, and how?

Thanks again!

Appreciate the response there kitchuk.

I tried what you suggested but, for some reason, it doesn’t like my manual changes to the xml files. I took the gamelist.xml file from the RetroPie/roms/mame folder and edited it using XMLWrench. After I sftp’d it and overwrote the original there was no change to the title information against the ROM that I edited.
I tried a full-on reboot in case it needed to re-cache or something but no joy.

Any ideas?

Thanks again!
