    For those looking into "scraping" your roms for Retropie/Emulation Station, I started to use Universal XML Scraper V2 the other day. Initial opinion ... awesome!. The program runs on your PC/Lappy and you can directly link to you raspberry pi via the network. Hence, your PC scrapes the game data online, then can send it directly to the pi over your network. So easy. The 3 pic image scrapes look gr8 as well (ie screenshot, boxart, title marquee). Some good tutorials on lubetube.

    For anyone who has lost sleep, sitting on the edge of their seats, waiting for feedback on this scraper :roll: :sleep: .. I've scraped my 2600, 7800, Genesis, Master System, Sega 32x and NES roms without any issues. Just the SNES to do. All done through my PC, wifi networked directly to the Pi. Game select menu systems look fricken gr8. Tried a few of the preloaded ES Themes. The standard Carbon theme looks fine with the 3 picture artwork. (Screenshot, Box Art, Title marquee). ComicBook layout was rather good. I ended up going with the mint Retrorama theme.

    Still have all my original consoles (and the kids) since bitd. Only personally collect for the 2600, however in the last year or so, have started to pick-up games for the Wii and PS3. The daughter is almost 20 and the boy is 16, therefore when they're older ... their personal "retro" console will be the Wii (the girls) and the PS3 (the boys). So, I'm collecting for them now :roll: :cool:

    They give me shit about it now ... but they'll thank me in years to come! :party:

     

    Hence .. stumble on this little lot at work. Walking through the operations room and stumbled on a desk covered in 18 PS3 games someone was trying to offload!?? 10 games later and $30 out of pocket, walked away with a smirk.

    Welcome to AA Sudo. Nothing sinistar, but the lack of response from the locals would pertain to the plethora of information previously discussed about your said question, over numerous threads. ;)

    So spam that top-right search box with your digits! Enjoy :thumbsup:

    FYI guys hate to do this but as you can see someone else here is being childish. Id like to say he offered $9000 USD for the copy and I rejected him just like the $15,000 offer. Now he is being upset because he knows I won't sell the game so he wants to downplay the value and says he owns one. He is upset at the fact that he isn't the highest bidder.

     

    #1 if he does own it why does he want a second copy? To choke the market like a reseller to increase it's value (although he is constantly downplaying it)

    #2 if there are other copies why are they now be revealed for sale as he claims?

     

    I won't be intimidated/bullied by someone who put's themselves up on a pedestal

     

    Dude! I think you need to take a big breath and just chill. You've walked into THE worlds main online house for Atari nerds & collectors and advertised a rare cart for sale. Playing the chess game this way does not bode well.

    Regardless of who is right and wrong, It's like a car salesman telling prospective buyers they're a Douche! :ponder:
