💖 ss_cover_conv — the manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, so ss_cover_conv lives in section 1 of the manual, and it's literally the little tool that pulls the cover art out of your Singstar paks and turns it into a real, normal image file. no cap. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ss_cover_conv — tool for converting Singstar song cover 🎀

like. that's the whole job. converting the Singstar song cover. iconic behaviour honestly.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ss_cover_conv [-h|--help] pak_file track_id output_image

that's the whole shape of it — one optional help flag, then three things you gotta hand over. simple. clean. main character energy 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea 💅 this is a tool for converting the internal Singstar song cover — which is in TX2 format — into a standard format. that's it. that's the mission.

the Singstar paks keep their covers locked up in TX2 (their own lil internal format, not like anything your normal image viewer is gonna vibe with 🙈), and ss_cover_conv is the one that cracks it open and hands you back a regular image you can actually use. slay.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help — you are viewing it 😭 literally you're looking at the help right now, that's what this does. also written as -h [ --help ].

and then the three positional args, because they don't get flags, they just get handed over in order:

• pak_file — the Singstar Pak file to look in 🔍 (this is the one you're digging around inside).
• track_id — the Singstar track id to extract 🌟 (which song's cover you want, specifically).
• output_image — the output image 💾 and the format gets automatically detected, so you don't gotta tell it what you want — it just knows. the way that it just figures it out. obsessed.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• performous(6) — go check out performous in section 6, bestie, it's the whole reason this lil converter exists 🎤

fr fr, just remember: three args, in that order — pak, track id, output image. don't skip one, don't shuffle 'em. 💀

that's the whole page, bestie 💖 this was ss_cover_conv, manual section 1, straight from the ss_cover_conv(1) page — footer and all, no details left behind, periodt ✨🦋🎀
