Is It normal ? Scraper
« on: January 04, 2017, 03:23:47 AM »
When i try to scrap, the files go to \\RETROPIE\.attractmode\scraper\Sega Mega Drive   instead of \\RETROPIE\roms\megadrive

Is it normal ?

Is there anyway to change where the scraper puts the images?
For instance instead of \\RETROPIE\.attractmode\scraper\snes put them in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes/snap

If not, I guess I need to point the paths in each emulator config file to the .attractmode\scraper path?

No, you can't change the path in Atrract-Mode. You could use symbolic links to point the scraper to your desired folders though

for example
/home/pi/.attract/scraper/snes  --> /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes/snap

something like
Code: [Select]
sudo ln -s -d /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes /home/pi/.attract/scraper/snes

Just to note:

The scraper pulls from both folders. That is, the one you have in the config and the "default" one. (the folder the scrapper sets up.) You can leave it as is or just copy everything to the folder of your choice.
