Thumbnails for RetroArch
Thumbnails for RetroArch, split into individual repositories to ease maintenance.
Check out the repository, with all submodules, into RetroArch's thumbnails directory:
cd ~/.config/retroarch
git clone --recursive --depth=1 http://github.com/libretro-thumbnails/libretro-thumbnails.git thumbnails
To bring in the latest thumbnails across all systems, use:
git pull
git submodule update --recursive --remote --init --force
If you have make
available, you can run the above by simply running:
make
Alternatively, the script below will maintain shallow clones (depth=1) and checkout master:
sh update_modules.sh

formatTo check for files with invalid file names, use the following command....
find . -name '*[&\*:`<>?\\|"*]*'
The libretro-thumbnail server updates the thumbnails about once every two days on a cronjob. If you don't see updated files, append ?nocaches=CURRENTDATE
to have CloudFlare serve new content.
The .index files allow RetroArch to list the files available in the given directory. To build the .index files, run...
make index
make
