      @Majekaz Yes, it's available as Libretro core (lr-mesen) in the experimental packages section.

              You can choose the emulator used for a particular system and/or ROM from the runcommand launch menu.

                  Can you be more specific - what are you referring to ?

                      @Majekaz Which scraper ?
                      Artwork is usually coming from the a website like screenscraper.fr/thegamesdb.net/openretro.org, some of them have higher resolution artwork, but most of them are not. You can use an external scraper (like Skyscraper/AARM) to choose a different artwork source, but ultimately the source site (where the artwork is hosted) is responsible for the images/videos provided.
                      Of course, you can replace the images with your own - if you have it - just by overwiting the scraped images or just adding your own. See the docs for the format of the gamelist file which holds the path to artwork/video/metadata/etc.

                          @Majekaz Try to use ARRM (Windows only), it has an interface to edit the gamelist which could be faster and less error prone.

                            @mitu do you have raspberry pi and using as emulator? If yes do you bother to put better quality images?

                              I don't care that much about high quality images on the front-end.

                                        @Majekaz sorry. No idea.
                                        As it's been mentioned in different posts. Retropie support for the pi5 is not complete yet. So there is and will be issues.

                                        I know mine will just lockup for 5 min for no reason.
                                        They are working on it. I can't even start to tell you where look for what's going on in your system

                                          @ExarKunIv okay, i thought its just i have this problem. I know how to make run retropie on startup but is it possible to run it through desktop? In terminal i tried emulationstation but doesn't work. Do i need to write in something else?

                                            @Majekaz Retropie is not designed to run through a desktop.
                                            You can but it can lead to issues. I don't know how to do that.

                                            As I use it with out a desktop as it was designed for.
