# Scraping
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="../../wiki_icons/pixelitos/folder-blue-downloads.png" width="50">
|
||||
|
||||
ES-DE supports the two scraper services [ScreenScraper.fr](https://www.screenscraper.fr/) and [TheGamesDB.net](https://thegamesdb.net/).
|
||||
|
||||
Scraping allows you to make the games look "pretty" with coverarts, icons, discimages and more.
|
||||
Read up on the ES-DE userguide on scraping here:
|
||||
|
||||
[ES-DE Scraper guide](https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/USERGUIDE.md#scraping)
|
||||
|
||||
###Quick tips
|
||||
- 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).
|
||||
- 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.

## Multidisk/file games: Directory interpreted as files
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="../../wiki_icons/pixelitos/folder-blue-games.png" width="50">
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can put all the game files inside a sub-folder in order to keep you game list clean, these folder will be seen as the game itself from RetroDECK and not as an actual folder.
|
||||
|
||||
The folder needs to have the corresponding `.m3u` file and the folder needs to be renamed to the exact filename of the `.m3u`.
|
||||
|
||||
More info in the [ES-DE UserGuide](https://gitlab.com/es-de/emulationstation-de/-/blob/master/USERGUIDE.md#directories-interpreted-as-files).
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
|
||||
In this case the folder will be viewed as a single game and it will launch `Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u` so you can easly swap the disks from RetroArch menu.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
─── Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u <--- Folder
|
||||
├── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk1.chd <--- Game Disc
|
||||
├── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk2.chd <--- Game Disc
|
||||
├── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk3.chd <--- Game Disc
|
||||
└── Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u <--- The .m3u file
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### How do I create a Multidisk Directory?
|
||||
|
||||
Let's use the `Dragon Fantasy VII` example as written above. It is a fake PlayStation 1 game.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1: Make a .m3u sub-folder
|
||||
Make a new sub-folder inside the `roms/psx` directory (or what ever system you are creating for) where you move and store the `Dragon Fantasy VII` files with a `.m3u` file extension in the end.
|
||||
The name of the folder will be `Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u` and the full file path will be:
|
||||
|
||||
`~/retrodeck/roms/psx/Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u`
|
||||
|
||||
And it should have the disc files inside of it:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
─── Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u <--- Folder
|
||||
├── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk1.chd <--- Game Disc
|
||||
├── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk2.chd <--- Game Disc
|
||||
└── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk3.chd <--- Game Disc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 2: Make a .m3u file inside the folder.m3u
|
||||
Following the example above, make an empty file inside the `Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u Folder` called the exact same thing as the folder name in this case: `Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u`. Now the full file path to the newly created .m3u file should be like this:
|
||||
|
||||
`~/retrodeck/roms/psx/Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u/Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u`
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 3: Populate the .m3u file
|
||||
|
||||
Open the `Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u` file with an text editor and write the filenames of all files contained in the folder, one per line.
|
||||
When you are done, the structure of the file should look something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk1.chd
|
||||
Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk2.chd
|
||||
Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk3.chd
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note this also works with other files types like `.bin` `.iso` `.cue` `.bin` etc.. You just need to make sure that all the files in the folders are written inside the .m3u file.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 4: Launch RetroDECK
|
||||
The ES-DE interface that RetroDECK uses should now pick up on the game as one file and you can change disks inside RetroArch.

└── Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u <--- The .m3u file
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## How do I create a Multidisk Directory?
|
||||
|
||||
Let's use the `Dragon Fantasy VII` example as written above. It is a fake PlayStation 1 game.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 1: Make a .m3u sub-folder
|
||||
Make a new sub-folder inside the `roms/psx` directory (or what ever system you are creating for) where you move and store the `Dragon Fantasy VII` files with a `.m3u` file extension in the end.
|
||||
The name of the folder will be `Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u` and the full file path will be:
|
||||
|
||||
`~/retrodeck/roms/psx/Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u`
|
||||
|
||||
And it should have the disc files inside of it:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
─── Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u <--- Folder
|
||||
├── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk1.chd <--- Game Disc
|
||||
├── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk2.chd <--- Game Disc
|
||||
└── Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk3.chd <--- Game Disc
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 2: Make a .m3u file inside the folder.m3u
|
||||
Following the example above, make an empty file inside the `Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u Folder` called the exact same thing as the folder name in this case: `Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u`. Now the full file path to the newly created .m3u file should be like this:
|
||||
|
||||
`~/retrodeck/roms/psx/Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u/Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u`
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 3: Populate the .m3u file
|
||||
|
||||
Open the `Dragon Fantasy VII.m3u` file with an text editor and write the filenames of all files contained in the folder, one per line.
|
||||
When you are done, the structure of the file should look something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk1.chd
|
||||
Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk2.chd
|
||||
Dragon Fantasy VII - Disk3.chd
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note this also works with other files types like `.bin` `.iso` `.cue` `.bin` etc.. You just need to make sure that all the files in the folders are written inside the .m3u file.
|
||||
|
||||
### Step 4: Launch RetroDECK
|
||||
The ES-DE interface that RetroDECK uses should now pick up on the game as one file and you can change disks inside RetroArch.
