TechXero Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) Hello guys. Total n00b here, building my Retro Gaming PC [ Core i5 6500 - 32gb DDR3 RAM - ASUS Z170-P D3 Mobo - Samsung 960 Evo nVme SSD 250gb + 500gb HDD Storage - GTX 1050ti GPU ] I was wondering is there a way to scrape the same games a second time? Let me explain my situation, Where I live Internet is capped during the day and only capless from 11 pm to 7 am, so cannot scrape all in one go else would kill my quota. I still want to have video previews, just wanna scrape without them and then when I hit 11 pm to scrape again adding videos only. Is there such a thing ? Otherwise is there a way to download scrapes as zip files and add later ? Help a guy out please. Thanks boys Edited June 8, 2019 by TechXero Quote
Lordmonkus Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 You do your first scraping pass with what you don't to get unchecked, then you can go back and do a 2nd pass but this time uncheck all the stuff you got the first time and check the stuff you do want. Tools > Download Metadata and Media Quote
TechXero Posted June 8, 2019 Author Posted June 8, 2019 Oh didn't know that. Thanks buddy. As for Metadata and media can it at all be downloaded as zip files that I can pause/resume on will with download manager? Quote
DOS76 Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 no it only downloads it over the internet in an uncompressed file type and you can't pause resume it. Quote
TechXero Posted June 8, 2019 Author Posted June 8, 2019 There are no Metadata packs I can download as zip? Hmm... I have over 30k ROMs if I can't pause it then can't let it eat up my cap Any suggestions for a case like mine? Quote

TechXero Posted June 8, 2019 Author Posted June 8, 2019 I think I saw a video preview download section there. Will check it out maybe they offer zip downloads... I forgot about it ? Quote
