Also, how do I get it to download artwork other than boxcovers? As of now, that is all it downloads and then it displays that as the background.
By the way, I looked at a lot of front ends: Hyperspin, Gameex, etc, and in the end, nothing beats XBMC + RCB for ease of use and stability.
I had issues with scraping as well, I found that downloading art packs manually (emumovies.com and hyperspin.fe) then puttin them in the correct folders, then using gamedesc txt files locally to scrape works way better.
It takes the years from the gamedesc file, and your art. Doing that is how I got my setup to work finally, with video previews too
As for my other post about X Y above, I sorted it out

No intro sets all have like Rev 1 or Rev a and all that...but RCB only takes one of them and it's usually not the one you would want (the latest revision). I went through manually deleting the regular games that had revisions but that was a huge pain. I wonder if there's a solution to that..
I just remembered you had already seen my pics a few pages back
