Is GBA box art/screenshots really sparse? or is there an issue?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

So I imported a bunch of GBA ROMs but only got a few screenshots/box art.  Is that system really that under represented by art or did I do something wrong or have a bad ROMset?  I got MUCH more with regular Gameboy and GB color.

Should be plenty. Just looked and all my GBA games have 2D and 3D box art as well as anywhere from 2-5 screenshots of various types. Should be able to get them unless you have some funky named roms and Launchbox or Emumovies if you use it cannot match the rom name to a game.

Looks good on my end. I have 151 games loaded all have 2D and 3D box art and all have at least 2 screen images.

I tested earlier just using emumovies to scrape for 3D boxes, and it only pulled a few and they were for DS not GBA, as per my image in my previous post.

Pretty weird. I only use LB DB and Emumovies. I know I have not set-up GBA in a while so wonder is maybe images got removed from Emumovies. I did run a test on King of Fighters EX and it pulled images from both LB and Emumovies.

Yeah, i actually noticed this myself the other day as i deleted my whole image folder and re-scraped everything. I though it was a issue on my end at the time as all other platforms scraped just fine. Then i saw this thread with the same issue, so i moved out my GBA image folder and scraped just emumovies for 3D boxes, and it just grabbed a few DS 3D boxes instead.

Wow. Definitely something up. Just tested one of the games from your screenshot and it brings the DS box from emumovies. Just checked their FTP and I see the zips for box images. Downloaded the 3D box files and they are all there. Something is not linking correctly.

Looks like 3D boxes was screwed up on EmuMovies side.  Just corrected, did some checking of the other categories and it looks fine but please let me know if you catch something I did not.

Excellent, thanks for taking the time to take a look at the issue, it is much appreciated. :)

@circo to the rescue! Thanks for such a quick fix. 

I saw the mention and jumped out of bed this morning.  My first thought was "No Way" and my second thought was thats what I get for doing updates when staying up past my bedtime lol.
