Screech

Screech is a game boxart scraper implemented in Go and SDL2, designed with Trimui Smart Pro in mind and uses Screenscraper.fr as the backend. It's inspired by Schmurtz Scraper with the addition to be easier to configure and port to other handhelds.

Features

• Multi-threaded
• Scrape all systems at once
• Media region fallback
• File types ignore
• and more

Installation

Download the latest version in the Releases section, unpack and move the folder to your device in SDCARD/Apps. Reboot the device and the app should appear in the Apps menu.

Configuration

Inside the app folder you'l find the screench.yaml file where all the app configurations are stored. You may point the Rom folder, set the screenscraper.fr username and password. Note that the console logos should be name as the same as rom dir of that systems, e.g: if your SNES roms dir is named SFC your logos directory should contain a SFC.png.

If your device/OS doesn't have console logos you'll find a large colection inside assets/logos in this repo.

For TSP with CrossMix-OS the configuration already points to where the logos/roms/Imgs are stored and you don't need to change anything.

Building

First you need to clone the toolchain repo. It's already configured with go + SDL2 + Trimui SDK. Then, clone the screech repo inside path/to/toolchain/workspace.

To run the toolchain, type

make shell

inside the toolchain dir. The docker will run and a shell will be opened in the workspace dir. After this you just have to type make and a new folder named Screech will be created with the new binary and all the necessary folder
