• Sharp x86000 / NEC-PC98 dataset

  I've been trying to pretty up my collection by making sure everything is validated and has the appropriate boxart. About the only things i've had problems with are the Sharp X86000 and NEC-PC98. These have named boxarts/etc found in the libretro git but I can't seem to find any corresponding dat file to link any particular romset with the retroarch database. Has anyone else dealt with this?

• Easy boxart resizing with imagemagick in your browser. No install, no CLI!

  I tested this in Chrome with the entire Sega Mega Drive collection (2075 images) from libretro-thumbnails and it took about 5 minutes on my ageing laptop.

  On my RetroArch on PC based on Linux the thumbnails are in a subfolder named "thumbnails" in main RetroArch folder. Each system has folders as "Named_Boxarts", "Named_Snaps" and "Named_Titles". Manually downloads could be done in example at https://thumbnails.libretro.com/ or one of the repos in https://github.com/libretro-thumbnails?q=mame&type=all&language=&sort= or in one of the the subfolders in https://github.com/libretro-thumbnails/libretro-thumbnails

• Holy Moly! Is there any way to make thumbnail scraping less miserable in RA?

  I know this one, if that is what you mean: https://github.com/libretro-thumbnails On this page if you click "libretro-thumbnails" and then "MAME" in example, then it is a bit older than if you go straight to the "MAME" repository itself. I guess one is the master that collects all other repositories after a while. But that's just my theory. As far as I know is this the official thumbnails repository for Libretro/RetroArch.

• ROMSorter Release 6 - Default DAT and batch-patching!

  Retroarch just matches console and game name to the artwork it stores on its own github page.

• Is there any way to add covers to the LibRetro Thumbnail Database?
