>>> G:\Games\Emu_Zone\SNES\snes roms\2020 Super Baseball (U).zip
File has not an expected extension. Skipping file.
...
...and so on !
so what is the expected extension to be ?
back to scrapers one more time: i have most of the artwork for NES and i have it in my asset folder (e.g. under boxfronts), but when i open my NES rom collection there is no picture for any rom. I have to say that i chose boxfront as symbol to be shown. And the directory is also set correct.
I think I found the problem. Instead of .zip try zip as the extension!
The ROM Scanner only scans new ROMs and skips ROMs already in the database. This means that if you want the scanner to pick the local artwork you have to delete the ROMs from the Launcher first and the run the ROM scanner again. You can also use the context menu, "Edit Launcher", "Manage ROMs", "Rescan ROMs assets/artwork" to search for local available artwork.
There are several ways to know if the artwork is there:
1) ROM context menu, "Edit assets", you should be able the artwork pieces you have.
2) ROM context menu, "View", "View ROM data". The raw database ROM information will show. Look for fields starting with s_ like s_title, s_snap, etc.
