Thank you.:)

Great News to have your Work/Tool maybe "onBoard" with TWiLight Menu.:yay:

Too bad it has been deprecated lately. :P

I have just released version 0.7, which enables larger boxart sizes. (Needs the latest 2020 version of TwilightMenu++) which can be downloaded here:
https://github.com/KirovAir/TwilightBoxart/releases

Also, you can download the modified TwilightMenu-Updater here:
https://github.com/KirovAir/TWiLightMenu-Updater/releases
This version adds boxart support for all filetypes. It might be a bit slow for .gba files since it needs to hash the whole file for accurate boxart support.

I will convert this to a standalone application as soon as possible to not burden a deprecated twilightmenu-updater with this functionality.

Great! Also, yes it will replace the updater with just some added boxart functionality. Everything else is the same. :)

This keeps getting better and better :)

one request though, could you add the ability to convert custom images to correct format? I have some custom boxart that Iwant to convert and include the nice borders to match the rest of the sets

Aah I haven't thought about that haha. I'll see if I can implement it as some extra option. :)

Thank you for this tool!

I just dug out my old Nintendo DSi and installed the latest Twilight Menu++ and this sure makes things more appealing.

Since Atari 2600 and PC Engine/Turbo Grafx 16 is not supported by this tool, what are my options on having box art or even icons for these systems/games?

It would be nice if each folder/system could have it's own icon and artwork rather than generic looking folders...

P.S. Is there a limit to how many games per folder? Also, I tried to add my own PNG for Bomberman for Gameboy - file name for the game itself is Bomberman GB I.gb, and the box art is named Bomberman GB I.gb.png but in the menu there is no box art at all.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
