Paul_Noons Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Greetings. I've been using EmuMovies Sync with great success across a variety of systems. Sometimes it doesn't match all the artwork, but I guess its fuzz matching algo is being conservative in order to avoid false renaming operations. Unfortunately, it seems that artwork for the original Playstation is not working. I've tried to rename the folders to something either than "psx", but I'm afraid I can't get it to download anything relating to the Playstation, at the moment. Could it be a bug? Thank you. Best regards, Paulo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnedRegistrations Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 I haven't used the sync program in a while but have you tried renaming your folders or system to "Sony Playstation"? I don't recall having this issue in the past. You could also try just directly connecting to the FTP and navigating to the Playstation folder under Artwork. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_Noons Posted May 30 Author Share Posted May 30 Thank you for your reply. Well, renaming the folders didn't work. This is indeed the only system that's causing issues in EmuMovies Sync. Everything else I tried worked great. I understand downloading directly via FTP is also an option and I do that for smaller sets. For the Playstation, however, there are too many files which would be fairly complicated to rename manually. I wrote a tool for fuzz matching filenames and it helps, but it's not as good as EmuMovies Sync, so I was hoping to use it instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling since you have mentioned "so many files" that you are using a raw redump set. Which means a cue file for each game and an assortment of .bin files. Go to the root of your files, search for ".cue" then copy all those files and paste them into a directory. Scan that for a 1 to 1 match of your rom set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnedRegistrations Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I was thinking that too. I'd recommend just grabbing a full set in .chd format or converting them yourself with CHDMAN. Save tons of space plus way less files. The days of bins + cue's are pretty outdated for many systems since a lot of modern emulators now support chd and other similar formats. This is what my PS1 set looks like, never had any scraping issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not working here, so I'd like confirmation that it actually works before I try other solutions and see if we can get to the bottom of this.

Paul_Noons Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 Here's a screenshot of my folder. I have some m3u files in there too, but that's it. Nothing out of the ordinary. I don't see why it's not working for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_Noons Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 Ah. I found the issue. That filename was the culprit. After removing it, emusync works as usual. Thanks for the suggestions, perhaps this solution will help others. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
