Skraper

Becoming a fan of retro gaming nowadays is perhaps the easiest it's been. Numerous resources are available for users to play their favorite retro titles, sometimes even allowing users to even experience them through their browser. Those passionate about their vintage gaming collection might want to give Skraper a try, which is a tool meant to help embellish one's library by fetching retrogaming metadata from a community-driven platform.

Users will have the option to configure their desired front-end, and they're free to choose between Recalbox, Retropie, or Launchbox. A generic emulation instance can also be set up through Configuration Wizard.

Upon locating your collection, the tool will analyze it with the intent of fetching the relevant metadata for your titles. This metadata is fetched from Screen Scraper, a community-run platform that specializes in gathering vintage game metadata.

This metadata works to provide users with pictures of a game's logo, screenshots, and even flyers and 3D boxes. Information about a game's synopsis, genre, rating, and even manuals will be provided, when available.

Through such a solution, users passionate about their retro gaming collection will be able to more tightly manage them, while also enhancing their overall experience.
