Thanks, I'll try it!

@Amishgamer I just tested it again, with a few different systems, It does kind of squish the box, especially segacd, maybe a 640x640 square would be better. I'm sorry I'm not very good at this artwork.xml, I cant find a way around skyscrapers, compositing the boxart, even though all that it needs is for "cover" to be redirected to "screenshot". Did you try the built-in scraper?

I actually emphasized quantity, but I did so only to an extent, excluding any un-translated games, most prototypes, and most unlicensed games. In my mind, I wanted to create a kind of history museum or archival library, showcasing the console's life through its titles. You can flip to any one console and see the styles of box art, the genres and trends that were popular, the character designs that reflected the era, the relevant pop culture icons of the time, and whatever else. Sure, I won't ever play the vast majority of the games I added, but it's a beautiful and eloquent way to look back on gaming history from the late 1970's to the early 2000's.

@hyruleslink I just got lr-gw up and running myself and was thinking the same thing. A little googling and I found these. Honestly, I was hoping one of the scrapers had them already. I just finished missing artwork and metadata for Famicom Disk System and I’m really not looking forward to doing all that again by hand.

NICE.

@hyruleslink Yes it is planed ;)

@hyruleslink said in My Remastered 3DO Covers + Logos + Videos: Plumbers Don't Wear Ties Thanks i don't know this game before lol But i think it is not really interesting to play ... I prefer play to a Gals Panic game or a Leasure Larry Suit game ;)

@Darksavior Thanks for all your explanation, i will try that ;)

@darknior Haha.... I actually do a few things in paint still myself. If I have to move an image slightly to get rid of a bad edge or resize it slightly that's the quickest way for me. I actually recommend Paint.NET though. It was real easy for me to pick up and there's a huge fan community that makes a lot of helpful extensions. I've used some of these extensions for altering the perspective to make really bad angled box and cart shots look like they were taken directly head on. Made a HUGE difference when I could get a 1500x2100 image off of ebay and change the perspective to have an amazing HQ image instead of using some 300x425 image with a beat up box and a sticker on it that I found on some random gamer site.

@darknior I don't think our script is what you need then. You might want to look into Skyscraper that muldjord is working on. I can't remember if he ever added the ability to use our synopsis or not, but he was willing to do it. The script that meleu's been tweaking does it all. There's no way to just convert the synopsis.txt files to xml files with it. Even if there were, I don't know how this would save you any time. I'm afraid that you're going to end up spending tons of time making xml files that you don't need to. It really doesn't take that long to follow the instructions and set up your media correctly. You can then run the script and let the pi make every gamelist.xml for every system that it currently handles. It would take about 16 hours on a Pi Zero and would probably be much quicker on a Pi 3. Not bad, considering if I were to do it all by hand it would probably take me 2 or 3 thousand hours to write them. It's up to you though. :)

necro post but just wondering if these found their way to the libretro thumbnails repo? https://github.com/libretro-thumbnails/libretro-thumbnails might be worth looking into as it seems both sfc and nes are incompllete thus far

For informations, screenshot on screenscraper are in native résolution. Don't expect to have a full HD picture from a gameboy screenshot for exemple. All picture you can found in 'better' quality are just a upscale of That.

Great work! I'll try to install it and maybe adapt it to Sega Master System, Sega Mega Drive and Atari 2600. Thanks!

Thanks, editing the xml file sorted the issue

@paradadf Read your reply too late, haha! I found a cover pack and matched the filenames to the images the scraper downloaded. Didn't take that long. Now the Neo Geo covers look far better than the rest of the game systems... :)

Another added to the collection this evening. Quite a poor quality UK scan, so pleased with how it came out: I recreated the logo in Illustrator too. I did create a second vector to use as a white drop shadow on the logo, as I was working on the logo from a US box originally-didn't realise there was no white drop shadow on the UK box until I'd finished. I added the drop shadow filter in PS, which doesn't make it as dark as the original as you can still see some of the white, but I don't think it looks too bad. And, you don't really see the box blown up full screen anyway, so I'm not too fussed. I dropped the really badly placed screen shot too, it's not uniform to the other UK boxes and looks so out of place-i think it looks better without it. It's not 100% accurate-time will tell if I can live with the differences or not! :: Edit:: Yeah, couldn't leave it. Done it with the black drop shadow-I think it works better:
