All I want is availability to change “cartridge/CD” default icon to graphic file for each game. For example being able to use it as game logo, or real cart image, or screenshot by providing few graphic files. While additional graphical software such as, hyperspin/rocketlauncher, launchbox, retrofe, offer all of it, its all complicated, paid, big, designed for huge game collection and impractical for real gaming. Sure these looks cool for watch, but thats it, i dont need second app runing with the emulator, just to display few images more… especially when i love RetroArch basic layout already.
You can enable thumbnails/boxart and fetch them from the online updater and it will show artwork, though it won’t replace the default icon with it. It’ll be off to the side.
Yes I know, I was thinking about “cart/cds” custom icons, in the manner of hyperspin “wheel” where you put logo image, or cart. There is for example pretty cool cart collection: http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/files/file/12444-wonderswan-color-cartridges-complete-set/ http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/files/file/12447-wonderswan-color-cartridge-labels/ While I dont really like hyperspin, I could use some resources in retroarch… outside thumbnails/boxart option, already occupied by screenshots for me. What im asking, is another image slot, if possible in future. Something like in PS3: http://help.support.ubi.com/images/ACR/OriginalAC.jpg
You can replace the generic icon with something of your choosing just by replacing the appropriate file in your assets dir/xmb/theme/png but it’s just one-for-all, not on a game-by-game basis.
