Problems with SSELPH Scraper

[epicrean]

Pi Model: 2
RetroPie Version Used: 3.0.0
Built From: SD Image
USB Devices connected: 1 controller and one flash drive
Controller used: Logitech F310
Error messages received: None

I followed this video step for step

Everything goes perfectly in Putty with no errors, when I reboot the PI there are no pictures or data

I used FileZilla to look into the PI’s directory to ensure everything worked.
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes

When I go under the directory (/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes) there is a gamelist.xml. When I opened it, all the games and data is there. If into the images directory (/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes/images) all the images that scraper downloaded are there. So I know it downloaded everything properly, but still nothing is showing in EmulationStation.

I deleted the gamelist.xml from the emulationstation directory (/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/snes) to see if the two different .xml files were causing a conflict. Rebooted the Pi and still no data or pictures

I moved all the images from
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes/images
to
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/downloaded_images/snes

I then moved the gamelist.xml from
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes
to
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/snes

rebooted the PI and still nothing.

Any help as to what I am doing wrong.

Try running from the experimental menu of the RetroPie setup script.

I’m still not understanding. For my last issue (yesterday) I ran the updates. Am I suppose to run these updates everyday?

[herbfargus]

Are you running sselphs scraper manually like in the YouTube video or are you running it from within the setup script?

Also are you refreshing emulationstation after you scrape the games?

Also which version of retropie are you on?

I should be running the newest version. I downloaded the image 2 days ago and 1 day ago followed a video in updating it.

Try running it from the set up script and see if it makes a difference.

@epicrean
That video is a little dated now, I have a newer one, but try the menu option in the experimental section as herbfargus says, as this should work without issue.
You only really need to do it manually if you want to tweak the flags set etc..
