      Hello, I am new to Raspberry Pi. I just set up RetroPi on my Raspberry Pi 4, uploaded all of my ROMs and scraped for box art. I noticed that my NES and SNES Roms were unzipped into folders (which is how I uploaded them) and that my box art does not appear in my RetroPie ROM list unless I press A on the game first, thus entering the nested folder.

      All of the other system ROMs are loose in their appropriate folders, and box art shows up fine, so I guess my question is

      Is there any way to have the box art for NES and SNES show up without taking the ROMs out of their nested folders and placing them directly in their system folder?

        Short answer - no. The folder doesn't have box art, so it's normal you're seeing the boxartonly when entering the folder and looking at the actual ROM.
