Hi everyone !
As some of you may know, quite some nice launchers exist (emulationstation, pegasus, launchbox etc), and they use scraper sources (like screenscraper, launchbox db etc). The thing is that they (almost all of the time) provide us with native quality content or 1080p for fanarts.
The thing is that screen resolutions evolve and nowadays, displaying 540p wii screenshots/gameplay for example doesn't look very nice on big 4k screens. Luckily, emulators often allow us to upscale the games and even sometimes load custom textures. Many upscaled gameplays are available on youtube and existing fanarts could be easily upscaled with AI programs.
So I was wondering if there was an existing source of organized game assets/media (like screenscraper etc) but in high resolution ?
If not, I would be happy to start such a database ! It would require quite some efforts but not all games can be uspcaled, and it is always possible to fallback to existing sources if no high definition media is available.
