README

scraper

A scraper for EmulationStation written in Go using hashes. This currently works with NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, MD ROMs.

Installation

Make sure you have go version 1.2 or later installed.

$ go version
go version go1.2.1 linux/amd64

Fetch and build.

$ go get github.com/sselph/scraper
$ go build github.com/sselph/scraper

Usage

$ cd <rom directory>
$ mkdir images
$ scraper

ROMs will be scanned and a gamelist.xml file will be created. All images will be placed inside the images folder.

Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi's build process is a little different and I recommend building and running on a machine other than the PI. At the time of writing this raspbian has an old version of go 1.0.2 so it can't handle progressive scan jpeg files also when building for the pi you have to specificy the type of ARM processor.

Build:

$ GOARM=5 go build github.com/sselph/scraper

Usage: Add thumb_only so that it doesn't download the larger progressive jpeg files.

$ scraper -thumb_only
