      Yeah, sorry about that. I @'d the wrong guy lol. I like the 1st MegaMan picture myself. :)

      As for my problem... here is a game entry in the gamelist.xml that shows nothing:

      <game id="88114" source="ScreenScraper">
      	<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fds/Adian no Tsue (Japan).zip</path>
      	<name>Adian no Tsue [Japan]</name>
      	<desc>Adian no Tsue ("Staff of Adian") is an educational action-adventure game in which you control a boy named Lucian who sets out to rescue Princess Patricia from a demon King. You must navigate levels by defeating enemies with your staff as well as solving arithmetic problems in order to earn bells and experience. Bells are the currency you'll use to buy items from the shopkeeper and 600 experience points are required in order to open the door to the next level or trigger the boss battle in specific rooms you'll need to discover.</desc>
      	<image/>
      	<image>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fds/art/Adian no Tsue (Japan)-image.jpg</image>
      	<marquee/>
      	<video/>
      	<thumbnail/>
      	<rating>0.55</rating>
      	<releasedate>19861212T000000</releasedate>
      	<developer>Sunsoft</developer>
      	<publisher>Sunsoft</publisher>
      	<genre>Adventure</genre>
      	<players>1</players>
      </game>
      

      I'm confused why the UXS screen scraper created a blank <image/> after the "description". That might be my problem. Here is an example of a working video with a box art (2nd one on the list):

      <game id="71309" source="ScreenScraper">
      	<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fds/Ai Senshi Nicol (Japan).zip</path>
      	<name>Ai Senshi Nicol [Japan]</name>
      	<desc>Help the brave inventor Nicol rescue his kidnapped girlfriend Stella from a Demon Bull King from the planet Dairass in this overhead action game. Control Nicol through 7 continents as he recovers 3 pieces on each level to his dimensional transporter invention that the Demon King stole and encased in diamonds. You'll blast away at various minions and avoid treacherous terrain while exploring multiple floors of each continent searching out the diamonds to be re-united with Stella and defeat the evil Demon King!</desc>
      	<image>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fds/art/Ai Senshi Nicol (Japan)-image.jpg</image>
      	<marquee/>
      	<video>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fds/art/Ai Senshi Nicol (Japan)-video.mp4</video>
      	<thumbnail/>
      	<rating>1</rating>
      	<releasedate>19870424T000000</releasedate>
      	<developer>Konami</developer>
      	<publisher>Konami</publisher>
      	<genre>Shooter</genre>
      	<players>1</players>
      </game>
      

      So this one doesn't have that mysterious additional <image/>. Lastly here is an example of a game that has the box art in both locations:

      <game id="88273" source="ScreenScraper">
      	<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fds/Zelda no Densetsu - The Hyrule Fantasy (Japan) (Rev 1).zip</path>
      	<name>Zelda no Densetsu - The Hyrule Fantasy [Japan]</name>
      	<desc/>
      	<image>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fds/art/Zelda no Densetsu - The Hyrule Fantasy (Japan) (Rev 1)-image.jpg</image>
      	<marquee/>
      	<video/>
      	<thumbnail/>
      	<rating>0</rating>
      	<releasedate>19860221T000000</releasedate>
      	<developer>Nintendo</developer>
      	<publisher>Nintendo</publisher>
      	<genre>Adventure</genre>
      	<players>1</players>
      </game>
      

      So that one doesn't have a video, and shows the image in both places.

      I just did a "Find & Replace" to remove all those <image/> entries.. testing now.

          Success! Removing all those strange <image/> entries fixed the static screenshot not showing. Only buggy thing now is "why did it do that in the first place?" That, and having 2 identical images, but that can't be fixed (yet). Thanks for calling me out like that to check the xml. :)

            @hansolo77 yes, you have correctly identified the problem. Once you remove the extra image line, it should work. The image showing twice will in video view is correct, nothing i can do about that until more images can be added to the theme, and ES has to be modified for that to happen.

            EDIT: beat me to the post - nice work

              @meleu do you have a different image in mind? It needs to be one he is leaning forward or coming out of the screen - a lot of the good ones i like he leans back.

                  I am going to put both of these guys in the art folder so users can assign whichever they want, but what mega man should i set as default for the Mega Man system?

                  I prefer the 2nd Mega Man, I prefer the art style used as it more closely resembles the way he looks in the games. Also it really looks like he is pushing out of the page.

                    Yes. This one:

                    mm

                    It's based on the title screen of the very first version of the game (it's named Rockman in Japan):

                      How about this one? I am on the fence a bit. I like this one more than option 2 above, but option 1 is growing on me.......Regardless this will be included in the update, so users can go in an choose which character to use.

                      New Option 3

                          @TMNTturtlguy option 3 is surely the one I'll choose when using your theme! ;-)

                          Thanks for your nice work man!

                          Cheers!

                              I kind of like this one.....Made it for "Kids" system - I plan to throw a bunch of disney and sesame street games into one folder so my kids can easily find the games they like.....or more accurately, so my wife can easily find the games my kids like.

                                    @serotonin major storms rolled through our area and thousands of homes actually in the hundreds of thousand homes are without power! A wasted weekend, but progress has halted until power returns!
