Title: Scraped Images wrong/missing
Post by: Turncoat on July 16, 2016, 04:23:19 AM

Hey,
First time I have tried a scraper, looks like it would save loads of time renaming files etc.
I scraped artwork in my mame section.

Some of the flyers/wheels are there but majority are missing or just show up as a picture of a nintendo DS console.

After going to gamesdb.net I can see this artwork IS there but was not scraped, how do i fix it?

Got same problem with some cover in zsnes.
Solve this way:

-Compared two covers (shown in AM, not shown in AM)
-they differ in aspect ratio (1280 x 931 and lower works)
-so i've converted with a picture batch tool (like irfanview ) all covers to same ratio, size and file type.
-then it worked for me
