TwilightBoxart is a NDS/GB(A)/SNES/NES/GG boxart downloader, written in C#. It uses various sources and scan methods to determine the correct boxart. Although the program is made for [[TWiLight Menu++]], it may also be used for other loader UI's with some config changes. ==Installation== Please note v0.7 only supports TWL++ v12.0.0/2020 valentine release and onwards. It is not compatibile with older versions. Use v0.6 instead if your TWL++ is on a lower versions (or if you encounter any issues with v0.7). ==User guide== ===How to use=== For Windows: * Download and run the EXE. For MacOS/Linux (untested): * Edit TwilightBoxart.ini with your SDRoot. * Run TwilightBoxart.CLI in your terminal using: ** <code>chmod +x TwilightBoxart.CLI</code> ** <code>./TwilightBoxart.CLI</code> * The MacOS/Linux version is huge because the .net framework is included. By default the settings are customised for TwilightMenu++ but these can be changed in TwilightBoxart.ini. ===Supported boxart types=== {| class="wikitable" style="width: 600px;" |- !style="width: 65%;"|System !Matching (in order) |- |Nintendo - Game Boy||(sha1 / filename) |- |Nintendo - Game Boy Color||(sha1 / filename) |- |Nintendo - Game Boy Advance||(sha1 / filename) |- |Nintendo - Nintendo DS||(titleid / sha1 / filename) |- |Nintendo - Nintendo DSi||(titleid / sha1 / filename) |- |Nintendo - Nintendo DSi (DSiWare)||(titleid / sha1 / filename) |- |Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System||(sha1 / filename) |- |Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System||(sha1 / filename) |- |Nintendo - Family Computer Disk System||(sha1 / filename) |- |Sega - Mega Drive - Genesis||(sha1 / filename) |- |Sega - Master System - Mark III||(sha1 / filename) |- |Sega - Game Gear||(sha1 / filename) |- |} ===Boxart sources=== * [https://gametdb.com/ GameTDB] using titleid matching. * [https://github.com/libretro/libretro-thumbnails LibRetro] using [https://datomatic.no-intro.org/ NoIntro] sha1 matching or simply filename matching. [https://github.com/libretro/libretro-database/tree/master/dat LibRetro DAT] is currently added as extra NES sha1 source. ==Screenshots== https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/dshomebrew/twilightboxart3.png ==Known issues== Please see https://github.com/KirovAir/TwilightBoxart/issues. ==Changelog== '''0.7''' * Pure 1:1 ratio's are used now since the latest TWL++ (2020 valentine and onwards) supports these. This breaks compatibility with older versions. Use 0.6 if your TWL++ is on a lower version. * Added more sizes. * Added border support. (This is some experimental trickery which makes boxart a bit more aesthetic on some themes, maybe in the future I'm able to do some tricks with 3d boxart and such). * Loads of under-the-hood changes, which makes support for a 3DS version possible. '''v0.6''' * Uses 1:1 boxart size for gba boxart which should work with [https://github.com/DS-Homebrew/TWiLightMenu/releases TwilightMenu++ v11.2.0 ('TWL Christmas release')] and up! Please remove all old GBA boxart from previous versions so they will be redownloaded! * Fixes some other small bugs as well. '''v0.5.3''' * Finally fixed a really annoying issue where some images would appear to be corrupted in TWLM++ (Adobe Metadata issue, these are now stripped when images are downloaded). '''v0.5.2''' * Fixed title matching for titles with '&' or '/' in the name. * Detect correct aspect ratio for some japanese snes titles. '''v0.5.1''' * Fixes SSL compatibility issues on older Windows versions (Framework issue). * Improved some other code. '''v0.5''' * Added matching by file name. * Noticed that the NoIntro dat is not always a holy-match even when sha1 matches. (Tetris for the gameboy for example) As a final measure matching will be done on filename in this release, which should up the matching rate. '''v0.4''' * Added LibRetro .dat format parsing for future data. * Currently only added extra NES data as a test. '''v0.3''' * Fixes Github SSL error for some users. * Better error handling (and message) when there is no DB match. '''v0.2''' * This version fetches the correct boxart for TwilightMenu++ 9.5.0 and onwards. Make sure you have 'Adjust to correct aspect ratio' checked. '''v0.1''' * First release. TwilightBoxart is windows only but OSX users might want to try the CLI version. ==External links== * GitHub - https://github.com/KirovAir/TwilightBoxart * GBAtemp - https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-twilightboxart-nds-gb-a-snes-nes-gg-boxart-downloader.548400 [[Category:PC utilities for DS]]
