Any scraper offering HQ Pictures?
-
Just for interest: is there any scraper that offers HQ-Pictures?
I spent the last 7 years to cherry-pic good images by using an Internet search engine and have a great collection, but i always asked myself: why are all the pictures brought by a scraper so bad?
We live in an age of terrabytes and get images in the quality of thumbnails?
In example: the images of TAFA are good and they are 200kB to 1MB. And they shine brightly when you exchange them with the results of screenscraper or GamesDB.
Why are they so bad? -
@sirhenrythe5th Maybe it's a combo of extra bandwidth usage and the time required to update them. I'm not sure. I ended up getting what I could from emumovies and then I used a batch renamer to rename them and mass edit the xml's to match that.
Before emumovies had acceptable scans (some are hit or miss like the pc-engine covers...) I did go overboard by getting the really big scans from the cover project. It was a long process because the cut/resize batch script in photoshop wouldn't always work correctly.
