Xbox Roms

Hello,

I recently downloaded some Xbox roms in ISO format. A few days later, I learned that I had to convert those ISO's to XISO format so that the Xemu emulator would be able to read them. I have been converting them. When I import them into Launchbox, I get an option that reads "scrape as". What does this mean? The games work, but Launchbox does not automatically download the game covers. I have had to start doing it manually. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thank you.

Scrape As means "Hey what system do we call this thing in our database?". When we look for any metadata/media for that game we look at the platform name if it matches, and that scrape as value if it doesn't. For example it's not "Xbox" in our database it's "Microsoft Xbox" and so you're essentially saying "I know I call it something different, but look for all the good stuff over here"
