# Scrappy
> Maintained fork by **saitamasahil** · Original author **gabrielfvale** · Original repo: [GitHub - gabrielfvale/scrappy: An artwork scraper featuring a Skyscraper backend. Built with LOVE2D for muOS. · GitHub](https://github.com/gabrielfvale/scrappy)
Scrappy is an artwork scraper for muOS, with the standout feature of incorporating a fully-fledged **Skyscraper** app under the hood. This integration enables near-complete support for artwork XML layouts, allowing Scrappy to scrape, cache assets, and generate artwork using XML mixes with ease. This fork of Scrappy is maintained to improve compatibility with muOS, add new features, provide ongoing updates, and ensure long-term support while staying true to the original vision of the project.
## A Visual Tour
## Installation
To install Scrappy, follow these steps:
1. Download the [latest release](https://github.com/saitamasahil/scrappy/releases) (not the update package - that’s for OTA!).
2. Move the downloaded file to the `/mnt/mmc/MUOS/ARCHIVE` folder.
3. Open **Archive Manager** and select the file to install.
4. After installation, you’ll find an entry called “Scrappy” in the **Applications** section.
5. Please read the [Wiki](https://github.com/saitamasahil/scrappy/wiki/Getting-Started) for more info on installation and configuration.

Love the new features! I quickly found which art was missing and downloaded it. Template variety is great. App stability us much higher. Awesome work! 👍

I don’t know what’s going on but doing a single scrape works. But when I do multiple at the same time like for example “scrape all” it always fail.
Device: Cubexx with the latest firmware and Scrappy version.

Wow this is great though I had a few issues with scrapping with the option set for more than 2. I just thought it’s because I have a free screenscraper account. Anyway it took 6 hours to scrape 400 games and they all got box art except for 7 games. Good work 😊

Hi Sahil, I have a Brick with MuOS and a VERY large collection on my SD Card. I tried to scrape my 2.6k arcade game collection, and it was working without problems although i had it plugged into the charger (which would crash it in previous versions). I left it for the night and today morning it was at 2.1k and stopped responding after i canceld the scraping. I had to hard boot the device. Now, everytime I entery Scrappy, it says no devices are selected when i try to scrape and as soon as i exit Scrappy, my device gets a black screen and does not respond until hard reboot. Do you want any log files (if there are any…)?

Hey man, it’s recommended to scrape per platform if u have this much larger collection… Also don’t worry about 2.1k roms. Scrappy should have cached them… If possible please contact me via telegram [Telegram: Contact @saitama\_96](http://t.me/saitama_96). I will send u test v5.0.2 which has some fixes for stuck issue…

That’s a lot. At this point I’d use the command line instead. But what’s good about Scrappy is it scrape previews and Splash arts now directly.

U installed it on top of v2.2.1? If yes, remove scrappy from muos/application folder. Install full package again…

Yo, thanks for this wonderful app. I managed to make covers for almost my entire collection overnight. But I’d like to ask why it skips some games, even though their covers definitely exist on ScreenScraper. How can this be fixed?

Device? Tbh i can’t say anything without logs. And if it’s not opening then it won’t record any logs. Are you on latest muOS? It can be anything if the app isn’t opening.

Ah that’s the problem. On pixie my version won’t work. It’s specifically for muOS Goose(Latest muOS). For pixie use original version of scrappy.
