Thank you.:)

Great News to have your Work/Tool maybe "onBoard" with TWiLight Menu.:yay:

Too bad it has been deprecated lately. :P

I have just released version 0.7, which enables larger boxart sizes. (Needs the latest 2020 version of TwilightMenu++) which can be downloaded here:
https://github.com/KirovAir/TwilightBoxart/releases

Also, you can download the modified TwilightMenu-Updater here:
https://github.com/KirovAir/TWiLightMenu-Updater/releases
This version adds boxart support for all filetypes. It might be a bit slow for .gba files since it needs to hash the whole file for accurate boxart support.

I will convert this to a standalone application as soon as possible to not burden a deprecated twilightmenu-updater with this functionality.

Great! Also, yes it will replace the updater with just some added boxart functionality. Everything else is the same. :)

This keeps getting better and better :)

one request though, could you add the ability to convert custom images to correct format? I have some custom boxart that Iwant to convert and include the nice borders to match the rest of the sets

Thank you for this tool!

I just dug out my old Nintendo DSi and installed the latest Twilight Menu++ and this sure makes things more appealing.

Since Atari 2600 and PC Engine/Turbo Grafx 16 is not supported by this tool, what are my options on having box art or even icons for these systems/games?

It would be nice if each folder/system could have it's own icon and artwork rather than generic looking folders...

P.S. Is there a limit to how many games per folder? Also, I tried to add my own PNG for Bomberman for Gameboy - file name for the game itself is Bomberman GB I.gb, and the box art is named Bomberman GB I.gb.png but in the menu there is no box art at all.
