Hello,
I don't know what is the state of scraping in the current git tree but I noticed that libcurl may not work under windows.
I had a SSL verification problem that might be quite windows specific.
That simply prevented every curl http request to work.
Just a suggestion, but you could add that line in fe_net.cpp near line 111 (at least for Windows platforms) :
curl_easy_setopt( curl_handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0 );
That allowed me to at least run the scraping phase succesfully, even if results are not that good (particularly with thegamesdb) on TurboGrafx16 stuff
Regards
