Turnster Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 Hi, I have an EMU account but when I tried to scrape a few hundred Switch games it only found the art for about 10% of them? Any ideas? Thanks Neil Quote
neil9000 Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 Probably bad naming or a lack of metadata/artwork for what is actually a still in production system and not at all retro. How are your roms named? Quote
Turnster Posted March 20, 2022 Author Posted March 20, 2022 Hey, Some are .xci and some are .nsp Quote
Turnster Posted March 20, 2022 Author Posted March 20, 2022 I think it's the .nsp games that are not showing up???? they play fine though. Quote
JoeViking245 Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 If you edit one of those games, does it have a corresponding LaunchBox DB ID #? Quote

Turnster Posted March 21, 2022 Author Posted March 21, 2022 Hey, I think the problem is the file extension!! all the .xci files have scraped fine but the .nsp files, none of them have scraped.?? Quote
Turnster Posted March 21, 2022 Author Posted March 21, 2022 And yes, some of the games are not named correctly but, I just renamed one correctly and it still doesn't scrape. I'll just keep fiddling 🙂 Quote

File type should have zero effect on scraping. Can you give a example of a file name that did not scrape? Quote

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Details - LaunchBox Games Database (launchbox-app.com) Chicken Range is only in out database for Vita. Search Results for chicken range - LaunchBox Games Database (launchbox-app.com) Danger mouse isnt in our database. Same with Devious Dungeons, we have Vita and Windows only in our database. So like i said in my original reply, it looks like a mix of bad naming, and games not in our database. Quote
Turnster Posted March 21, 2022 Author Posted March 21, 2022 Ahhh, thanks for that, everyday you learn a little something else. Cheers 🙂 Quote
