SS1 Tool 1.28.15

New: Artwork for Console Mode (Files › Artwork)

An external artwork scraper for Console Mode that does the work on your PC instead of on the SuperStation, then copies the finished art over.

  • Find my games: reads the systems Console Mode knows and the games in their folders on the SD card and USB/NVMe drives. BIOS files are skipped.
  • Download artwork from libretro (free, no account), or TheGamesDB / ScreenScraper using the accounts saved in Setup › Console Mode scraper accounts. Box art, backgrounds or both, optionally only for games without art.
  • Saved exactly the way Console Mode does it: media/.png and media/-BG.png next to the games (games in their own folder use the folder's name), plus an optimized copy in media/optimized/ for pictures bigger than 512x512, made the same way as Console Mode's Optimize Artwork.
  • Everything is also kept in a "scrapes" folder next to SS1Tool.exe, laid out like the SuperStation, so your art can be put back after a reflash without downloading it again.
  • Results: every game by system with its art. For patched, translated or modded games that weren't found, search under a simpler name and pick the cover, or upload your own picture as box art or background. The art goes straight to the SuperStation under your game's own name. Your game files are never renamed.
  • Install copies only new or changed pictures, then reloads Console Mode so the new art shows right away. There's also a Reload Console Mode button.
  • Clean up: finds art for games that are no longer there, and can remove all backgrounds (Console Mode turns background downloads back on at every start). Only pictures are ever deleted, and only after you see the list.
  • Windows only.

  • Support SS1 Tool: a Ko-fi button in the bottom-right corner. SS1 Tool stays free.
