SNES thumbnail .dat file missing

[mo1988ali]

The .dat file that allows direct download from within LAKKA is missing (guessing here - new to this but trying to be helpful).

Tried to download Boxart for my SNES collection but it was the only one that failed.

Upon checking repository, it is only the .dat file missing that I can see.

Where is the script in Lakka that does this processing?

This is outside of Online Updater -> Thumbnails Update?

Is the .dat file actually required for RetroArch? I see it in some thumbnail directories but not on others. There's no .dat file in the Handheld Electronic Game directory, or in the Sega 32X directory.

The .dat file is not required for Retroarch. RA uses the compiled .rdb file from libretro-database.

We don't need those DAT files anymore. They're old, and not used anymore. If you need a new DAT, check out https://github.com/libretro/libretro-database .

Suggest closing this.
