I noticed that your tool isnt actually resizing the images when i put in wiiboxart.com - they stay at the generally incorrect size of 160x225 with is the default size the site hosts them , but useless for most loaders - do you have an actual resize option in there as i tried it and it didnt seem to work.

No more useless for most loaders than your site is in general at this point

Why don't you take a look at the config file - it contains all of the options to manipulate the files.

For example:

CODEToggleResizeNormalCovers=1
ResizeNormalCoversDimensions=160x224!

I've got plenty of space and bandwith available. I've contacted you bengalih.

Let's kick this into high gear and setup something that should have continued to be free

Sorry, but this doesn't seem to work: script ends after 1st resize attempt, log reports:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Downloading BoxArt: AC/DC LIVE (R33P69-PAL)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Normal Cover...
(Complete)

-> Resizing R33P69.png to 160x224!

and that's it...

BTW. thanks for the tool!

Is there a way to get a complete title.txt with all NTSC games?

Use the included samples titlesdb.txt and then use the config file to filter out PAL and NTSCJ - that will leave only NTSC.
You can also open the sample database in excel and sort them in there.

Works fine for me (just tested again)... I would start from scratch by extracting the files to a directory...make sure you have everything there:
\bin,\config\repositories

Also, I would be sure to use the included config.txt file and just edit it. It should work if you move things around, but for testing purposes you should keep it's structure and just modify the variables you want.

If you are still having issues, PM me with any more info you have, including your OS and any other relevant info and we will get it worked out.

Version 1.3 is now available.

I believe that this will be a good release to take us onwards for a while unless there are some significant functionality additions that are requested.

check first post for download link and info!
