rookervikNot sure pirating has anything to do with the question. Question is, “how can I get images without doing a scrape.”
The only way I’ve been able to get images to link to games is the manual scraper method. To use it, you have to put the images into an “image” folder in the rom folder. It requires you to download a script. There’s more information here in this post.
Looks like it’s also called sselph… perhaps sselph has more options than we see at first.
What we need is a script that does exactly what you are asking. Creates a gamelist.xml with each game and a link to that game’s image in the /roms/images folder. It’s up to the user to make sure all the names match.
