Raspberry Pi 3
RetroPie script 4.5.18
EmulationStation 2.9.0
Raspbian 9.11
Skyscraper 3.4.2While most screenshots will show in EmulationStation, some, do not. This is my little research trying to find out the issue. Thank you in advance for your support.
eg. EmulationStation does not show a screenshot for Blackjack (France) where there is such a screenshot and there is an entry for it in gamelist.xml

He then asks the players to hit more cards or not (up to five). After each player has been dealt a full hand, the dealer reveals his face-down card. He'll take a hit if he has a total of 16 or less. Blackjack or five cards without a bust pays double. The nearest to 21 hands pays even. No money is paid if there is a tie. The computer offers an insurance bet if the dealer's first card is an ace. If the player accepts and the dealer goes blackjack, the player will lose no money. Otherwise, he will win or lose the current bet plus a half. Sometimes the computer will also offer a double down.

However,
