getcover

getcover is a Bash script that fetches the boxart of Nintendo DS games.

The boxarts are compatible with TWiLightMenu++, and are courtesy of GameTDB.

Requirements

To run, getcover requires wget.

Usage

Running getcover without arguments will display a brief usage message:

Usage: getcover titleid | ndsfile [titleid | ndsfile ...]

A title ID is a DS game's four-letter identifier, and getcover will ignore its case. Thus, axfp, AXFP and aXfP will be evaluated the same.

On the other hand, DS ROMs must end with the .nds extension. If you supply a ROM, getcover will try to parse it to obtain its game ID automatically.

To download multiple covers, you can provide as many title IDs and/or ROMs in a go as you wish, and mixing the two is allowed.

Boxarts will be placed inside the current directory.
