It's broke due to changes made by thegamesdb.net. https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues/532 (https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues/532)

That's weird, it was working for me just yesterday. I've had that error a few times last week using Attract Mode and then it would work a few hours later. I think it works depending on the time of the day, also might help if you're not scrapping for too much at a time. When I try to get scrapers for just a few newly added games by just putting those in the roms folder it tends to work just fine.

i can scrape arcade games but getting other platforms is when it stops but like you said other times it works. ive been telling people on here this but no one believes me. glad someone else gets results and im not just a nut job... :o
