Dolos Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Ok, so i've run into an odd quirk while scraping the FBA arcade set of roms. I ran the scraper like normal, and no big surprise some items failed to get data. However, I've found that the system knows exactly what the unscraped games are when right clicking and choosing to merge games. See my screenshot below: I can't find where this extra data lives, and I can't seem to scrape off of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadK9 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Thats the name of the two games you chose to merge, its just asking you which should be the top most rom, so when you go to load it then it will load that one, to load the other rom, you need to right click. Hope that helps solve that for you. FBA is derived from MAME, so it probably checked it against that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolos Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 I know it's the name, my point is the first rom isn't scraping, but the merge menu has the true rom name as if it were scraped. Putting the name in that menu in it's name field instantly allows the game to scrape properly. My point is why isn't this hidden field being used to scrape?
