Rom Missing on Screenscraper

If, when you scrape, some of your game aren't found.

It may be :

  • We have the rom in our database, but it's an orphean one... So the scraper don't know wich game match the rom and can't retrieve the information.
    -> The solution : Simply register to http://www.screenscraper.com , log in, make a research based on the rom filename in the "rom" section (you can precise on wich plateform). When you found your rom in "pink" it mean it's an orphean one... You just need to submit an association proposition.

  • We haven't the rom in our database.
    You've got a strange rom ;) not referenced in the "big" known romset. or renamed or unziped/reziped... It's not good. -> Solution : Find a better rom ;)
    Your rom is a good one, comming from TOSEC, NO-INTRO, GOOD_XX, REDUMP,... it's an originale one (you haven't change the rom from his original source) so you can send the info to us so we can add the CRC to our database.
    -> 2 solutions :

  1. UXS generate a _xxx_missing.txt file in your rom directory. Check if there is all the info we need (filename, CRC32, Size, date, MD5) and send the file in the Issue Here : https://github.com/Universal-Rom-Tools/Universal-XML-Scraper/issues/159
  2. If the UXS missing file isn't good (it happen on big file, like ISO, CRC is missing for exemple) you can use F-CRC Calculator : http://ffulgore.free.fr/site/f-crc/us/download.htm
    Open it, drag and drop your roms, don't forget to check MD5 AND CRC Checkbox. Then calculate an send the file to the Issue Here : https://github.com/Universal-Rom-Tools/Universal-XML-Scraper/issues/159
    (You can also send us the result of F-CRC using a pastebin, but separated by system! The format is very important!)

As soon as we can we will add them. Thank you.
