TUI RetroArch thumbnail downloader

This script allows you to download thumbnails from Retroarch's servers with a search + list functionality.

Why does it exist?

RetroArch usually downloads the game's thumbnails just fine but there are some edge cases where it doesn't detect the game but it does have an image related to it inside Retroarch's servers. This script aims at simplify the search of those images with a TUI.

Installation

To install it you'll need installed:

  • NodeJS;
  • A terminal (Termux or whatever);

then type:

npm install -g tui-retroarch-thumbnail-downloader

Finally run:

tuiRetroarchTD --config

to configure the script with the correct path

How to use it?

You'll need to either type tuiRetroarchTD in the terminal or node tui-retroarch-thumbnail-downloader.mjs in the same folder of where the package is installed
