## Description

ps2-covers is a specialized utility and database designed for the automated procurement and storage of PlayStation 2 game artwork to populate emulator libraries. It functions as a game art automation tool and a remote media asset repository.

The project provides capabilities to automatically download and organize cover art into local directory structures. It also supports hosting a curated collection of game cover images that emulators can access via direct URLs.

The system covers retro gaming asset management through automated retrieval from external sources and the organization of images into hierarchical folder systems. It includes functionality for remote metadata scraping and static file hosting to maintain a visual catalog of game media.
