How to add a scraper?
How to add a scraper?
So the version of RetroPie that I have on my mintyPi () only has the 'thegamesdb' scraper, whereas other RetroPie installs that I've run have other options (within RetroPie) such as 'screescraper'. thegamesdb doesn't seem to be working at all, so that's my reason for wanting to do this. Is there a way to add others to my RetroPie installation? I have read somewhere that you can run/install other scrapers from the command line as well. Though this would require a keyboard, will a USB keyboard attached to the microUSB port work with just plugging it in? Thanks!

USB keyboard and plugging it in will work. Also, you can run commands remotely by using SSH. Some scrapers require you to quit Emulation Station though. You can follow pretty much any guide you find on line for installing and configuring scrapers. Skyscraper is my favorite.
