Portal Reclaimers (PS1 / PS2) have been historically the star product of AMECO since 1932. We have strong knowledge in this type of Longitudinal Stockyard and our Reclaimers are handling a broad range of Bulk Materials, e.g. Woodchips, urea, ammonium nitrates, coal, gypsum, iron ores. The Portal Scraper is usually used in a production line as Bulk Material buffer store. Skraper currently supports EmulationStation metadata through RecalBox & Retropie. It can fill LaunchBox game list & images more accurately and faster than LaunchBox itself! New softwares/front-ends will be supported soon: MAME/MAMEUI. All metadata provided by ScreenScraper.fr. (EDIT: i found out that it switched to the PS button. So Problem solved.) i recently started using my ps4 controller (bluetooth) with my recalbox. I am kinda stuck in pokemon leafgreen cause i do not know how to exit it. I know it was once the big button in the middle (dont know what its called) and options. It dosent work anymore since i connected it with bluetooth!

Scraping is a way to get metadata and boxart for your games from the internet. The scrapers RetroPie uses pull primarily from thegamesdb.net. If the scraper isn't working either you are not connected to the Internet or thegamesdb.net is down (which happens quite frequently) and in that case you'll just have to wait until it comes back up.
Steven Selph's Scraper
Steven Selph's scraper is the simplest and best way of scraping roms (provided that the systems are supported.) It can be installed and used from the setup menu using the following steps:
- (Optional)If you are remotely running this script you must be logged in with pi otherwise it will confuse the scraper
- Quit EmulationStation (from the start menu or press F4) and type
sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh - In 3.x Choose 'Setup'. In 4.x Choose 'Manage Packages' then 'Optional Packages'.
- Select Scraper
- Wait for the installation to complete (it may take some time as it has to install various software libraries)
It may take some time for the xml files to build. This will also only work if your roms are located in the local roms folder and not on an external device.
If your roms are located on another source than the default one you can download the stand alone releases.sselph's scraper releasesPlease refer to Sselphs Scraper Advanced Configuration when using this method.

Slow Boot and Shutdown Times
You'll notice after adding lots of ROMs and scraping them that your boot and shutdown time can increase substantially- some solutions to speed up your boot and shutdown times are described HERE
Where are my scraped images and metadata saved?
Once your games have been scraped they will be located in two parts: Downloaded Images and Gamelists
and
They can also be accessed over samba shares
Note if you are going to make edits to any gamelist.xml you need to have exited EmulationStation first

Scraper Not Saving Manual Edits
If you are having issues with your metadata changes not being saved, you need to select Quit EmulationStation from the quit menu rather than shutdown or restart system. Then your changes will be saved.
