![]() Many had to be photoshopped, auto-toned, and/or rotated slightly to look correct. I also found MUCH better box art than can be found in both thegamesdb and gamefaqs (which I also updated a slew of, by contributing images I found via Japanese google searches and on suruga-ya.jp). I want to say that every Japanese-exclusive NES title that didn't scrape via Selph's scraper can now be scraped using emulationstation. Seriously, the Famicom submissions on thegamesdb was an absolute mess before being fixed. I went ahead and updated hundreds of games with correct release dates, publisher, developer, genre, and fixed incorrect titles. Too many Japanese games had little to no metadata, MAYBE just the box art. Originally, I just wanted to "fill in the gaps" and add art and metadata to Famicom games that weren't scraped by Selph's scraper and weren't found in thegamesdb but this led into something even greater. In the NES/Famicom's case, nearly every game released in the US had a completely different box art variant in Japan, and part of the fun in RetroPie for me is to be able to see the differences. Something that always bugged me about scraping metadata for games from thegamesdb is that Japanese games usually just pulled up their US/European box art counterparts as opposed to what they correctly should be. Box arts are placed in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/downloaded_images/nes Posted this over on /r/retropie but figured it would be a good idea to give some extra exposure here.įilenames are based on the 20170430 No-Intro NES set.
