I think i figured it out, i had to set it to best guess instead of accurate. it was not scrapping alot of them.
Im still not getting quite a portion of items scrapped though, would be interested if anyone else is finding this. Using the emumovies program for instance it scraped 200 cartridges and meanwhile rcb scrapped about 50.

I actually seem to have gotten this working but it was not nice, i have noticed that updating an already imported collection never seems to work, it updates and grabs maybe the odd new thing. I dont know why...
So I had to literally delete all my nfo's and artwork, and delete my collection and rescrape everything and set it to "automatic:best guess"
Its now scrapping everything again. But this is not a nice solution. I have always noticed for whatever reason when you want to change something and re-import it and scrape something new or different does not seem to work. So for instance when I imported my library originally it was set to "automatic accurate" and it did not get much of anything, so inside RCB i simply tried to set it to automatic:best guess, and reimport my snes library which was already present in rcb, and it would not work! It got a couple new things but that was it.
You have to literally delete the entire SNES rom collection, and all my existing nfo's, and artwork and start over. I am not sure if deleting nfo's and artwork are necessary, but deleting my Snes rom collection inside rcb and rescaping everything was certainly needed, then it literally scraped everything. Why could it not do this without having to delete the rom collection and starting from scratch?. When I set this addon up back months ago i noticed this to, if i imported a collection and set something wrong you could not change it and re-import it for things to scrape properly, you had to literally start from scratch create everything again for everything to work and scrape properly, i dont know why but its frustrating.
This is my favorite addon for xbmc, with a few tweaks and improvements to update a current library if you make changes and want to re-scrape artwork it could be perfect, and hopefully malte has time to continue this addon to make sure of issues and things not breaking, this addon could be flawless.

RCB is showing about 90% of my ROMS after all this. It doesn't show some ROMS that have been properly scraped though (ie box art, nfo downloaded). I wonder why.

I just looked in the nfo and noticed the elusive F-zero for instance has no description of the game in the nfo compared to the others....
hmmmm, I have no idea why no description was scrapped for it, artwork was now scrapped but no description.
And since i have dont import games without description enabled, i thought that was the problem. But then i disabled it and re-imported it so games without descriptions could be imported and still it would not show up.
Im confused.

I would like to say what a great job has been done on this add-on. Absolutely fantastic!
One question, though:
I'm using an XBox 360 controller to control XBMC and RCB. When I fire up a rom and I'm ready to quit the emulator and return to XBMC, is there a way I can close the emulator with my controller? I did some research into using the guide button (big X button), but that seems like a dead end since the driver doesn't work too well and makes my XBMC go crazy scrolling. I don't have a keyboard accessible either. Do you have any advice/suggestions?
