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
