Box art issues (no art shown in muOS) with both scrappy and artie

Issues 2601 Jacaranda
1

So, MuOS noob here running Jacaranda on a Cubexx. Pretty sure it’s something I’ve done or haven’t done that’s caused the issue.

I tried to install Scrappy, and it kept complaining that “there are no platforms to scrape, Make sure your ROM folders have muOS cores assigned to them.”

I definitely have muOS cores assigned to them - I checked each populated folder and they have cores assigned to them. I gave up on Scrappy after fiddling with various settings ad nauseam.

I then found out about Artie, which I installed and configured. Joy of joys, it started downloading art! It finished, and when I rebooted… nada. No box art in displayed.

So some things I investigated, and or information that might help track down the issue:

  1. Box art is shown for newly installed Portmaster and some PICO-8 games. This tells me that muOS is set to show the art - if it can find it.
  2. I put all of my games on SD2. I also have the following configured to be on SD2:
    1. System BIOS
    2. Metadata Catalogue
    3. Content Collection
    4. Save Games and Save States
    5. Screenshots
  3. I initially copied the roms that came with the Cubexx onto SD2, and placed them in a folder called Roms. In this folder, there are empty directories which may or may not have cores assigned to them, but the PS1 folder, Super Famicom and Pico-8 and others that I’m interested in are DEFINITELY assigned.
  4. I did play with the folder names for a couple of cores.
  5. I ran the Refresh Automatic Core Assign tool in TASK TOOLKIT and that seemed to work fine. I can still play all of my games.

Any ideas about what I can try to get my box art to show up, or to get Scrappy/Artie to put it in the right place? Cheers all.

are u assigning core to directory or single rom? Using Scrappy’s v8?
did u try going into scrappy’s setting and selected rescan folder?

Hey @sahil, thanks for your help earlier. I’m assigning cores to the directory, not the individual rom.

If I go to the NDS directory (for example) and hit the Y button for options, I can see that the DraStic Advanced (External) core is selected.

That is what you mean, right?

Yes, may i see ur folder structure in muos roms directory?
also let me know if u have put ur roms in sd1 or sd2… Scrappy version?

The roms are on SD Card 2 (External). Screenshot below of what they look like. An example of a few.

Scrappy Version: 2.2.1

oh no no no, how did u manage to install scrappy v2.2.1. It should have failed while installing on latest muOS…

remove that from muos/application & delete scrappy folder.

Install version 8 of scrappy from here - Gofile - Cloud Storage Made Simple

I will also suggest you to scrape one system at a time. select one folder from settings and scrape that first as scraping can be very slow.

Argh! I’ll install the version from Gofile now.

@sahil I just tested it with one rom, worked like a charm! Thank you!
