Automated way to rename pause menu controller pics?


CLE

Recommended Posts

Just getting into setting up pause menu controller images. I see the "game specific" controller images have to be named the same as the LB database to work. Considering for instance mame CHD folders have to match the zip file names this is non standard practice. Considering none of the images freely supplied are properly named then .... this makes it a nightmare. Is there a utility some where to convert images to match the LB DB ID?

And if not, is there a way to download a database for platform/game name AND LB ID? Assuming that both databases would align: 

Open Excel, create four columns.
Populate columns with first column REN (space after)
Populate second column with game name.jpg
Populate third column with REN (space after)
Populate 4th column with LB DB ID.jpg
Copy into notepad ++ - verify correct
Save as a bat file
Copy into image directory
Run
