Cant scrape or download themes in Retrobat folder Empty Cant scrape or download themes in Retrobat folder

Hi there,

I can not download any themes or scrape any games if retrobat is intalled in my E:\Retrobat folder.
If I rename that folder to any other name it works flawlessly.

Have tried deleting the folder, reinstalling.... I don't know what else to do. Any ideas ?

Hello
You could check you disk health, or writing rights, because there is no technical reason with RetroBat mechanism that can act like that.

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

I think the problem is something different.
I can:

- delete retrobat folder completely.
- reinstall from scratch retrobat and let the installer create the retrobat folder.

Theme downloader and scraper dont work.

BUT

If I change the name of the folder to anything different, everything is fine. No need to reinstall.
There must be something like a registry entry for EmulationStation that I can not find.

What directory are you installing it in?

It should be in a directory like the following

C:\Retrobat

D:\Retrobat

or something similar... you need the main "Retrobat" folder for all the files to be installed in.
