Defining a platform for the scraper in ES??

[dabone]

Awhile back I added all my coco games to thegamesdb, but I don’t see how to set the correct platformid in es_systems.cfg, in the old style there was PLATFORMID=####

The coco’s id is the following.

<Platform>
<id>4941</id>
<name>TRS-80 Color Computer</name>
<alias>trs80-color</alias>
</Platform>

Thanks,
later,
dabone

I had a similar issue a while back – think it was when I was trying to scrape Vectrex games. It was showing up as an unknown system.

I do remember getting an answer from someone saying the scraper looks at an online resource with the list of known systems – not a local resource.

I just ended up doing a manual scrape 1 by 1 since there was only about 15 game or so.

Doing a forum search from scraper source might point you to the right post.
