## Where is my scraped data?
|

|

In: `~/retrodeck/ES-DE/downloaded_media` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## I got some weird error message about quota after scraping!
|
||||
|
||||
The error message mentions something about quota. You have a quota limit on how much you can scrape each day from [Screenscraper](https://www.screenscraper.fr/) where each item you scrape counts as 1 quota of the daily total.
|
||||
You can pay them to get a bit more daily quota and show your support or just wait 24 hours.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## The Scraper said: The Server or Service is down?
|
||||
|
||||
The service is down, check [Screenscraper](https://www.screenscraper.fr/) when they get back up.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Can I only scrape one game or can I narrow down the scraping method?
|
||||
Yes, check the `EmulationStation-DE Guide 📘` for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Can I move the downloaded_media folder?
|
||||
You can move it with the the move RetroDECK option inside the configurator.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Can I copy the downloaded_media folder to another device?
|
||||
Yes, just copy it into the other device RetroDECK folder.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## The scraping is very slow...
|
||||
[Screenscraper](https://www.screenscraper.fr/) offers different types of donations that can increase your speed with extra threads.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## My systems storage ran out after scraping...
|
||||
You can clean out images and videos that takes a lot of space under: `~/retrodeck/downloaded_media`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### But I still want them...
|
||||
The only way to still keep them is either delete something else from the storage or buy more storage.
|
||||
|
||||
## Can I launch a speicifc game with another emulator then default, but keep the rest on the default?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, if you want for example launch one of the PSX games with Duckstation instead of RetroArch.
|
||||
|
||||
First navigate to the game in the gamelist, then open the `Gamelist Options Menu` - `Edit This Game's Metadata` - `Alternative Emulator` - `Set the emulator here`.
