idea for an emulator front-end but might need community support

[kuroninneko]

I have an idea for an emulator front end that displays the games as a collection of cartridges like the one I made below in Blender. But I ran into a problem, there is no easy/fast way to get every cartridge sticker as a collection of images. But maybe as a group effort it will not be so difficult. Anyone willing to help out? Or maybe know any good resources of cartridge scans?

What do you think about EmulationStation-DE and its theming system? I'd use this as a theme there for sure!

Depends on the gaming system. There are lots of metadata sources that include box art images, and the like. Doesn't sound too difficult to do.

I got one setup like that but I got something a bit different in mind that simulates the experience of having the game collection in 3D

That could be useful. What are some good sources? If I cant find sticker/cart scans I might have to settle for box scans

Someone actually has an archive up. It's mostly EU scans but they'll get the job done.

Thanks. Seems like their entire site is down but hopefully will work later. Looks promising

Update: Its working now. Hopefully there is a way to download all these in one zip file and not all at once
