script.py error - ali2k1 - 2010-11-30

hi guys im not sure what that is. last night it was fine it load roms and everything this morning when i tried several times it gives this error.

This is integrated health protection: If you play the whole night, you can't launch it in the morning againSmile

What does the log say, when you try to launch it?


- ali2k1 - 2010-11-30

sorry for the late reply can you please look at my log and config.

thanks malte!!

Looks like a version mismatch. config.xml is the new structure (0.7.x) but your RCB version expects the old one (maybe 0.6.1).

Thanks it's working. Can mame be scraped?


- quakes - 2010-12-02

Note: If you do happen to use the code I wrote, you should add a "fo.close()" after "fo.write(members[chosenROM].read())".

I just spent more hours than I'd like to admit trying to figure out why Nestopia refused to launch my ROMs. Turns out it I had forgotten to close the file earlier, and Nestopia doesn't want to open files that are already open.

@mcborzu: Change view-button should work with RC2 again. I hope this issue did not prevent you from building a carmichael skinSmile

@ali2k1: No mame scraper atm. Maybe I will add this with a later release but I think I also have to fix some more issues with mame support.

@quakes: Thanks! I will add your code as soon as I get all scraping issues fixed and have 0.7.x in the repo.

I'm having a problem with all my emulators. Rcb scraped and imported everything but when I try to launch them nothing happens. I've used the same configuration and emulators before and worked fine.any ideas?

If anyone wants game gear, genesis and mame videos let me know with artwork it's complete and mame vids are already renamed according to the roms.

Is there a way to remove ROMs in the collection that are no longer present? I originally scanned my Game Boy folder when they were all .7z files. But when the emulator wouldn't open them, I extracted the ROMs and then added those to RCB. But now I have duplicates of all my Game Boy games. I need to get rid of the dead .7z ones.

You are going to need to give a lot more info than that.
What platform?
What roms?
What emulators?
What version of RCB?
What command line parameters?
A copy of your log file would be nice too.

Unfortunately I don't think so. Best bet is to delete the database and rescrape. If you had the script make .nfo files before, it should be a lot quicker this time around.

I really like to see stuff like thegamedb and whatnot popping up but why recreate the wheel when the Xtra's project has already done a lot of the heavy lifting and is availble here:

http://www.ressurectionxtras.net/synopsis/

At the least if you're creating a "gamesdb" to rival theTVdb or moviesdb then you could already populate it with most older systems (PS1 and older).

Or maybe there's been some drama in the whole game archive site that I'm not aware of. The one thing gamesdb does have that the Xtras don't is a fanart section so thats nice.

Can RessurectionXtras be scraped?
