Teeny tiny piece of scraper advice.

I have been enjoying Retropie as much as the next guy here, but I decided to try using the scraper-- not sure where that term comes from-- that will download and add info on the games, like a box scan, description, publication info, etc. which is nice and can help you find a particular game and it better than a featureless list of names.
However, when doing this use the manual option. With a sizable library it can take several days even on automatic, but the thing is the scraper will mess up and load the wrong info for a game. Sometimes it's obvious, such as Mortal Kombats 1 -3 are all named Mortal Kombat 3, sometimes not. But this means going back and fixing all of it which is a total pain
This is probably obvious advice that has been said before, but it bears repeating.
