Help wanted! Collecting game banner images

**delroth** · (This post was last modified: 01-31-2013, 01:04 PM by delroth.)

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on a brand new compatibility list module for http://dolphin-emu.org/ (using the ratings data from the Dolphin Wiki). To make it pretty, I need as many banner images (the 96x32 game images shown in the Dolphin game list) as possible. There is no complete collection of these banner images as far as I know, so I need your help to collect them.

It's very easy for everyone to help:

On Windows, download http://dl.dolphin-emu.org/misc/bannerget.exe and place it in your Dolphin directory (next to Dolphin.exe). Then run it and wait for it to exit properly.

On Linux and Mac OS X, download http://dl.dolphin-emu.org/misc/bannerget.py and run it from your terminal: "python /path/to/bannerget.py" (python2 on Arch Linux).

You only need to run it once and it's done! Should take less than a minute.

Thanks in advance to everyone who will help us!

We already have 150 banners uploaded so far Smile

There are more than 2000 GC+Wii games though, so we are a long way from a complete collection (especially since we count regions as separate entries).

Just to ask what is probably a dumb question... does this require the latest version, or does it work with any version of Dolphin?

It should work with any version of Dolphin >= 3.5, not sure about 3.0.

EDIT: Just checked: 3.0-xxx versions after December 11th 2011 will work. 3.0 won't unfortunately. There might be a way to fix it though, I'll see what I can do about it.

It works by sending the cached banners to you guys right? So any banners that are missing in Dolphin won't be uploaded?

Looks that way, yes.

I sent in the banner for Pucca's kisses game, and jp donky konga, because i'm sure everyone would be very sad if we didn't have the banners for those.
