starfiretbt Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I tried importing a windows 98 game. Since I am emulating a windows 98 game through Retroarch I imported it as a ROM and chose it's platform as "windows 98." When I did that I got an option to "Scrape As." I was wondering what it meant and what I was supposed to do. I searched for this term in the forum and I get the impression it arises when you "create" a new platform. I did do this for "windows 98" as that wasn't a platform and it seemed the only way to assign a windows 98 emulator to a windows 98 game.

starfiretbt Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) I just did more research after writing my post and found this I haven't finished the video yet but it sounds like "scrape as" is for finding metadata. I would select my custom platform and launchbox would search the platform I "scraped as" for metadata. EDIT: Sorry for bothering you guys, I thought I did enough research before I posted but turns out I just needed to research more. I never know when enough work is enough work.
