@KirovAir KirovAir released this 22 Jul 20:12

TwilightBoxart is back, rebuilt from the ground up.

  • New browser app at https://boxart.kirovair.com. Nothing to install: pick your card, press scan, covers land straight in _nds/TWiLightMenu/boxart. Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera and Vivaldi write directly to the card; Firefox and Safari get the same scan and a zip to extract.
  • New desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux which will work without a backend.
  • New DSi homebrew client: the console downloads its own box art over WiFi.
  • 14 new consoles, including N64, PC Engine, WonderSwan, Neo Geo Pocket, Atari and MSX.
  • .zip and .7z archives are scanned without decompressing, so an 18,000 game card scans in minutes.
  • Self-host the whole thing if you want, the backend is included and on docker. :)
  • v0.7 clients from 2020 work again: the old /api endpoint is back. ;)

Browser
Open https://boxart.kirovair.com and press scan.

Windows / macOS / Linux
Download the desktop app for your platform below and run it.
macOS only: the app is not notarized with Apple, so Finder calls the download "damaged". It is not; clear the quarantine flag once and it opens normally: xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine ~/Downloads/TwilightBoxart.app

DSi
Copy TwilightBoxart-DSi.nds to your card and launch it from TWiLightMenu++. (it needs DSi mode!)

Self-hosting
docker compose up -d with the compose file from the README, then open http://localhost:8186.
