A python-based command-line tool to automatically download and resize boxart images for TWiLightMenu++.
- Scans a directory of games and detects supported systems
- Calculates SHA1 checksums and looks up official names using No-Intro DAT files
- Downloads matching boxart images from the Libretro Thumbnails Repository
- Automatically resizes images to
128x115PNGs for use with TWiLightMenu++ - Supports optional game renaming to match No-Intro names (experimental — see warning below)
- Logs missing boxart matches to
errors.txt
The --rename option is not yet fully tested and may require manual adjustment of associated .sav or .dsv save files. Please make backups of your games and saves before using it.
