The code to fetch is located here: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/blob/c662da11c3f8247e0e70ea40b142a1d054d25872/ui/drivers/qt/playlistthumbnaildownload.cpp

And the data is hosted in this Github repository: https://github.com/libretro-thumbnails/libretro-thumbnails

We could also pull cards from SteamGridDB a la https://github.com/FrogTheFrog/steam-rom-manager, that way the art is shaped correctly for the tile view.

@treymerkley GameHub can already fetch images from SteamGridDB and steam.cryotank.net.

treymerkley commented 4 years ago

oh, perfect. Is there any way to get it pulling cards for emulated games?

@treymerkley

Click + button and then use Download game images. It should fetch first available image for games that don't already have one. You can also select multiple games in list and download images for them.

You can download more images on game's details view or set your own image in game's properties.

Okay, great. As long as there's some semblance of automation here, I'm glad to paint in the gaps by hand.
