Messing around with the batch file I came across something strange, when console image type is set to mix3 and on running the script you select all it downloads the 2d cover images. When selecting a specific system when running the script it downloads the mix3 images correctly.
I'm not sure if this is because of something I changed in the script as I can't run any of the fastscraper scripts released in the last 8 months or so unmodified. I always get an error on detecting system language.

With some creative thinking i was able to make the script do what I had in mind. I decided I wanted my images in subfolders without suffixes as this makes the roms and media work in both emulation station and attract mode easily.
I ended up making several batchfiles: fastscraper_box2d.bat, fastscraper_box3d.bat, fastscraper_snap.bat, fastscraper_mix3.bat which all downloaded the specified image type into subfolders. After running all 4 batch files I end up with all available images in the romdir sorted into the subfolders box2d, box3d, mix3, snap and video. I feel this is the best way to store roms and media files as it is self contained and can easily be moved from one installation to another.
I recently started started using emulationstation and recalbox on the pi 3 and fastscraper seems to be the best scraping option by far. I had some trouble getting fastscraper to work because of the system language detection but i was able to remove that part from the script and now all seems to be fine.
I was thinking of this feature that could be useful I think: Besides the current function of adding -image and -marquee download all available images for a rom and add descriptors to the filenames accordingly. For instance something like this:
Aladdin (USA)-title.png
Aladdin (USA)-ingame.png
Aladdin (USA)-boxfront.png
Aladdin (USA)-boxback.png
Aladdin (USA)-box3d.png
Aladdin (USA)-cart.png
Aladdin (USA)-marquee.png
Aladdin (USA)-wheel.png
Aladdin (USA)-flyer.png
Aladdin (USA)-mix2.png
Aladdin (USA)-mix3.png
Aladdin (USA)-mix4.png
Would something like this be possible or does it have to be added to the scraper itself?
