Adding my own game art images for NES. Possible?
-
Hi, the default scraper does not have the images for some of my roms, I would like to upload my own. The images I have are in PNG format. Is this possible?

Once your games have been scraped they will be located in two parts: Downloaded Images and Gamelists
/home/pi/.emulationstation/downloaded_images
or
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/downloaded_imagesand
/home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists
or
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelistsThey can also be accessed over samba shares
\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation -
I just updated the documentation to explain how to use sselphs scraper to automatically generate xmls from your images. The images have to be the exact same name as your roms:

The command in that link didn't work for me, I got it to work with:
/opt/retropie/supplementary/scraper/scraper -add_not_found=true -append=true -download_images=false -image_dir="images" -image_path="images" -image_suffix="" -img_format="png" -img_workers=0 -no_thumb=true -thumb_only=false -thumb_suffix=""from the rom dir
and it saved a gamelist.xml with the correct image tags in the same dir
not sure if all the above flags are needed, was just happy it finally saved the images tags
