[RESOLVED] Missing games after scraping
Hi, new user to Retrobat and so far its been so unbelievably easy its unreal.
However....
I've just discovered that after scraping some of the games have disappeared and not showing anymore. they were there before but now gone.
I've tried updating gamelist, turning on and off etc.. nothing is bringing it back.
I modified the filename of one of the missing games... basically adding a space before the file extension and it is now showing in the console menu without artwork etc.. did another scrape and it disappeared again.
any ideas what's wrong or a workaround??
thanks
Dave

Yop, definitely a filter should apply after the scraping. Perhaps especially as "hidden", similar to another user: https://discord.com/channels/748519802255179917/748519802255179920/1191403164834992248

Re: [RESOLVED] Missing games after scraping
no problems
its running on a Dell Optiplex 7010
i5. 16GB Ram, 1Gb HD 7470
Clean install of Windows 10
Current version of Retrobat
File ive been testing it is a Mega Drive Rom
Another World .Bin
game runs and works fine when listed but as soon as you scrape it is removed from the gamelist. Add an extra space in the filename and it will be recognised again.... until you do another scrape then it disappears.

Hi,
just curious, what happens if you rename it to Out Of This World.bin, that's the US name of the game.

Hello
You can also change the suffix and prefix from scrap (or for display)
Edit : not the subject here, but can explain also why you don't find some games
