Homebrew Rename 1600+ Artwork Files

[mccorkled]

Hey guys. I downloaded a bunch off Wii Disc art and they are all titled like GD5WWH. I tried to Use Wii Backup Manager to rename all the files by making them all have an .iso extension using Bulk Renamer to trick Backup Manager but that didn't work. Anyone know of a way I can title all the art using the actual game name?

I have the same problem with WiiU and 3DS.
Thank you.

png, not iso

ISO is a disc image format. Why not just use your backup loader to download the box art?

No, I used Bulk Renamer to make them all iso files from png files to try and trick Manager into thinking they were discs to download the art. For instance, Gmail goesn't allow zipped archives, so you just change .zip to .jpg and it sends fine. Then the receiver can change it back to.zip.

Anyhow... tried following the directions of another thread which said to go to settings. Set titles to use wiidtb.txt and use game titles for file and folder names and I am getting the same weird naming convention rather than the actual game name. As far as 3DS, I do not own the games, I just collect the artwork and would like them named properly.

Thanks

A script could do the job by using the database in txt format. If you have linux you can use the script for wii titles in the archive below.

On Windows unfortunately! Thanks though.

Anyone have a solution for this?

Create a file 'convpng.bat' for example, edit this file with Wordpad and copy this :

@echo off

SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

echo.> LOG_NOTFOUND.txt

for %%f in (*.png) do (
    findstr /c:%%~nf wiitdb.txt > tempz 2>&1

    if errorlevel 1 (
        echo. "%%f" >> LOG_NOTFOUND.txt
    ) ELSE (
        for /f "tokens=2* delims==" %%t in (tempz) do (
            set filename=%%t
            set filename=!filename:~1!.png
            set filename=!filename::=!
            set filename=!filename:"=!

            echo Rename %%f to : !filename!
            ren "%%f" "!filename!"
        )
    )
)

pause

Copy wiitdb.txt from ther https://www.gametdb.com/Wii/downloads and copy the .bat file in the folder containing your png images.
Click on convpng.bat and it should rename the png to the names found in wiitdb.txt. Note that invalid windows characters(: " etc.) are removed.
Only tested in a virtual machine. I don't guarantee 100% good results.

Edit:
Japanese and accents aren't supported with this batch. It may be better to use the previous script within a virtual machine. Or write in python or something else. But that's enough for me.
