      I am brand new to this as of today. I have done a little bit of searching but cant seem to find my answer. How can I get box art to show up on the games i have? I have the roms in their proper folders. Do i need to manually do each game or is there something I'm missing about getting box art to generate.

        Box Art is not included in the ROMs, so it must be downloaded separately. You can use a 'scraper' program to do that, there are 2 included with RetroPie - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/ - but you can try others as well
