Hacking Downloading Cover Art

[mccorkled]

Hey guys. I just stumbled upon a thread that was discussing a cover downloader for 360 titles. I cannot find that download anywhere. Does anyone have ALL of the 360 covers downloaded with actual game names rather than ASXES.png type names that they can upload for me? Does the cover downloader still work and can I get a link?

Thanks!

Xboxunity has a hell of a lot of covers.
Aurora autodownloads them and I think FSD can also still download them.

As for the download, which thread where you talking about?

I do not have an xbox to auto download the covers though. I just collect art. Here is the thread.

It seems that googling for "X360 cover downloader 1.5.1.4" or "X360 cover downloader 1.5.1.1" etc yields some results.
Mainly warez sites tho.

Yeah that's the problem.

I cannot provide links to warez sites on here.
You'll have to download it yourself.

Yes, I know that. I have been a member for a while. The problem is that all of the site do not have valid links to the program. If someone had the program I would appreciate an upload. Alternatively all of the covers with proper names would be just as great.

Bump. Anyone have this program or all 360 covers?

The program would be useless since it relies on websites that have changed their adresses and the restrictions. It's http://covers.spiffy360.com/ now and it only allows 10 covers a day. The 2 others websites are dead for covers too. And off course without source code we can't change that program.

I have a solution which only requires firefox and batch script that will download from http://XboxUnity.net/. I'm not sure if they're ok with this and I'm not responsible for any misuse. In the attached archive, you'll find a complete readme and the list360.txt file.

1. Change firefox download path
- In firefox options change the default download folder. Choose where the .bat and list360.txt are.
- You also have to be sure that when you download a png that 'Save file' is selected.
- Tick the option 'do this automatically for files like this frome now on'.

2. Open links in the same tab.
- In the address bar, type about:config and press Enter.
- In search bar type : browser.link.open_newwindow
- Double click on browser.link.open_newwindow and change value to 1
- Double click on browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction and change value to 0
- Check https://support.mozilla.org/fr/questions/970999 to go back to default values.

3. Create the batch to download and rename the covers.
- Create a new file called xbox.bat and edit it with Wordpad.
- Copy this code :

@echo off
REM Download covers from http://XboxUnity.net/ and rename them

SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

for /f "tokens=1,2 delims==" %%a in (list360.txt) do (
    set filename=%%a.png
    REM Remove special character (: " ?)
    set filename=!filename::=!
    set filename=!filename:"=!
    set filename=!filename:?=!
    set URL=%%b
    echo "!filename! URL : !URL!"

    start "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox" firefox.exe  "!URL!";
    REM In Win XP there's no sleep use : ping 127.0.0.1 -n 9
    sleep 9
    REM If Firefox doesn't open links in the same tab you have to kill the process first : taskkill /im firefox.exe /f

    echo Rename cover.png to : !filename!
    ren "cover.png" "!filename!"
)

pause

- Save the file and copy list360.txt in the same folder.
- Double click xbox.bat to download the covers. Ctrl+c to stop the batch.

Thank you for this. I’m on so many forum for different things that I can forget posts I make. I have no been able to try this yet because my CPU water cooler leaked and well you can fill in the rest of that story. I’ll be up and running again soon and give it a go. Are you interested in helping me with 2 or 3 more systems? My covers collection is nearly complete.

Thanks again!!
