Hi, is there a way to download all covers for a system in one go?
I am working on marquee's for arcades and i batch a lot of covers. Downloading them one by one is killing me.

In short, Nope.  We don't have the bandwidth, and don't want to make it easy for leechers and eBay sellers.

 ;D @ the OP;D
i have NO such qualms, but all i can offer is what's at my shite mediafrie account, they're raw scans (600dpi.jpeg) and the source directories are updated as i dump my covers.
my sigil image will take you to my raw scan subject, keep it bookmarked, and check back periodically, there's much remaining i still have to do.
PS:
i'm NOT affiliated to TCP, i just share, and as it's my gear, (bandwidth namely, TCP has no stake there) i'm calling the shots.
so, go for it, spread em around, and if you decide to clean em up, return them to the TCP db, as it was your efforts on the cleanup.  :P

NO

-adverb-

-a negative used to express dissent, denial, or refusal, as in response to a question or request-

Just in case
If you have nothing to do... Don't do it here!

Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."
