[发布] Pico/TwilightBoxart - NDS/GB(A)/SNES/NES/GG 封面下载器

Hi all,

Good news: TwilightBoxart is back from the dead. The old server was shut down years ago, so I rebuilt the whole thing from scratch: new server, new apps, and way more consoles.

Supported launchers:
- TWiLightMenu++
- Pico Launcher (DS Pico)
- AKMenu-Next (new!)

Every app asks which launcher you use up front and writes the covers in the format and folder that launcher expects.

It still combines GameTDB and libretro + NoIntro DB to cover the full spectrum of consoles a DS can play, but games are now identified by what they contain (title id, game code, crc32, sha1), not what they are called. So a wrongly named ROM still gets the right cover, and .zip/.7z archives are scanned without decompressing: an 18,000 game card scans in minutes.

The main way is the browser app at https://twilightboxart.com. Nothing to install: open it, pick your SD card, press scan, and the covers land straight on the card. (Chrome/Edge/Brave/Opera/Vivaldi write directly onto the card; Firefox and Safari get the same scan and a zip.)

Missing a cover? Drop any image on the game (a scan, a photo of the box, a screenshot) and it comes back exactly as your launcher needs it. It is converted once and never stored.

And my favourite: a DS/DSi homebrew client. The console downloads its own box art over WiFi, no PC and no card pulling at all. It works on a DSi, and on a DS or DS Lite with a flashcart, and it picks the launcher from what is on the card.

Prefer a real app? There is a desktop version for Windows, macOS and Linux. One file, works offline too:

Everything is open source. The old 3DS TWiLightMenu-Updater build is retired; the browser app is the way to go there. But if you still have the 2020 desktop exe lying around: the old API answers again, so even that works.

Supported systems:
Everything is matched by title id / game code where the ROM has one, then crc32, sha1 an
- Nintendo DS / DSi / DSiWare
- Game Boy / Color / Advance
- NES / SNES / Famicom Disk System
- Nintendo 64 (new!)
- Pokemon Mini (new!)
- Sega Mega Drive, Master System, Game Gear and SG-1000 (new!)
- NEC PC Engine / TurboGrafx 16 (new!)
- WonderSwan + Color (new!)
- Neo Geo Pocket + Color (new!)
- Atari 2600 / 5200 / 7800 (new!)
- ColecoVision, Intellivision, MSX + MSX2 (new!)

Every cover is delivered in a format your launcher actually accepts, so nothing silently refuses to show up on the console. And whatever misses gets a list telling you exactly what it was recognised as and why there was no cover. Never a silent skip.
