### Tips on Scraping
### General Tips
- On most occasions you want to use ScreenScraper and not TheGamesDB. But for PC titles scraping from TheGamesDB might be better.
**On Screenscraper vs TheGames**
- On most occasions you want to use ScreenScraper and not THEGAMESDB. But for PC titles scraping from TheGamesDB might be better.
- You will need to register an account on [ScreenScraper.fr](https://www.screenscraper.fr/) to scrape (support them on Patreon for faster downloads, more scrapes per day and priority scraping).
- Login to your Screenscraper.fr account inside of the ES-DE interface in RetroDECK
- Choose what content you want to scrape (remember that each content you choose could take up several mb of data per game).
- Login to your Screenscraper.fr account inside of the ES-DE interface in RetroDECK under `ES-DE Menu` -> `Scraping` -> `Account Settings`.
**On scraping:**
- Choose what content you want to scrape under `ES-DE Menu` -> `Scraping` -> `Content Settings`. (remember that each content you choose could take up several mb of data per game).
- Do an initial scrape of all the games you want to scrape.
- If some games are missed do a more narrow scraping by enabling `Scraper -> Other Settings -> Interactive Mode -> On`& Scraper -> `Other Settings -> Auto-Accept Single Game Matches -> On` and choose to scrape by games missing metadata. This will allow you to select each game from a list and also tweak the searches of the missing games.
- In some cases you need to remove certain aspects of the name like if a rom comes both with a Japanese name and English name, you could try to remove one of the names to find a better result.
