hi, i receive this message when try download cover "Error sending request. Unable to connect to remote server A connection cannot be established as the destination computer expressly denied such a connection" greetings for your greatest tool...

No blacklist - Emulators, boot.nds, hiya.dsi, etc. are detected. Need some means of excluding

No choice between png and bmp (Doesn't bmp load faster?)

Files are created as Filename.nds.png instead of filename.png

Hi !

I like this one but some covers don't show on Twilight, if u can do something, it will be great but other work well.

Thanks a lot !!!

This app is a must have to complete TwilightMenu++, but for some users extract the sd card to put it on PC is not really usefull.
I try to use FTP access to ly 3DS (using FTPD homebrow), but it seems it don' t work.
Anyone can help le to use it with FTP ACCESS??

i used it a couple of weeks ago and it worked but i tried today because i added more games to my Twilight Menu ++ but all i get is " An error occurred while sending the request. The remote name could not be resolved: 'boxart.kirovair.com' "

Keep getting this error for every rom that it searches for. Screenshot attached

Hello, i always get network error 500 with the exe file as well as directly on the 3ds. it does not download a single cover for me, am i doing something wrong or is it an error from the software?

Sometimes the app shows this message:
"An error occurred while sending the request. Unable to connect to the remote server A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 2.1.1.1:443"

what is happening ? are there any server available?

I've been using your tool for donloading boxart for various ROM games that I have, and I've fount an issue with your tool:
When a file extension is in uppercase it recognises that it is a rom (tries to download a boxart for it) but then it can't check the type of it.
This issues happens with various rom types (.GG, .SMS, .GEN, etc...) and renaming the files for them to have a lowercase extension (.sms, .gen, ...) gets rid of this error (at least on my tests).

Output extracted from the tool with an example of this error:

01:21:28 - Searching art for Bram Stoker's Dracula.SMS.. 
01:21:28 - Something bad happened: Unknown ROM type.

Anyway, thanks for this much useful tool for TwilightMenu users :)

Hi there,

great tool. Thank you! I noticed a small issue in the TwilightBoxart.ini that causes problems under Linux (and Mac OS I guess). I guess a separate ini for those systems is needed.

Instead of:

; These are the default config values.
[Config]
SdRoot=
BoxartPath={sdroot}\_nds\TWiLightMenu\boxart
BoxartWidth=128
BoxartHeight=115
AdjustAspectRatio=true

we need the following for Linux:

; These are the default config values.
[Config]
SdRoot=
BoxartPath={sdroot}_nds/TWiLightMenu/boxart
BoxartWidth=128
BoxartHeight=115
AdjustAspectRatio=true

Hope, this helps. Keep up the great work! :)

It seems with deprecation of openssl 1.1.1, the provided .net framework cannot use the most recent version:

No usable version of libssl was found
Aborted

Great application but it would be useful to see examples of the boxart size menu

I keep getting this message: "An error occurred while sending the request. The remote name could not be resolved: 'boxart.kirovair.com'"

I recently modded my girlfriends dsi xl and I like the look of box arts she doesn't really mind it, but it irritates me not seeing box art. thanks.

https://github.com/KirovAir/TwilightBoxart/releases/tag/0.6
it works perfectly and support GBA boxart as well

Version: 0.7
Release:01/04/20
OS: Windows 7
Explanation of the problem: When I try to open the program, the following message immediately pops up:

"TwilightBoxart Stopped Working".
"Problem event name: CLR20r3".

I would be very grateful if a user provides the solution.

Looks like when you change the roms location to be anything but the root of the SD card, it updates the path of the boxart location to match. You can even see from your example screenshot that it happens :)

this is not correct, the path should always be $drive:_nds\TWiLightMenu\boxart

I haven't tried on Mac, but this is reproducible on Windows.

Just a small thing, DS roms are sometimes in the .srl file format, particularly ones extracted from Virtual Console on Wii U. Emulators and TWiLight Menu recognize the format just fine as it is practically identical to .nds anyway.

idk why it,s happening but now every time when i try to add new boxart i get this An error occurred while sending the request. Unable to connect to the remote server The connection was not established because destination computer denied connection request 20.229.11.136:443

it stops the process after this comes up and it does it everytime. it even happens on 0.6 as well.

Every time I try to run in the MacOS BigSur terminal I get the error below. Do you know how I can solve it? I am using the latest version of your program.
