      @mc9625 Here is an example of what you're after. You just need to make a runcommand script to display an image of the current running game.

      (Note also that the software running the LCD panel with buttons is available on GitHub and is reusable for your own projects.)

        @sashby Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for. I knew it could have been done via run command scripts, and I've been able to do it "manually", but I didn't knew how to retrieve specific game info. Romtastick is perfect, although I have a different LCD panel, let's see if I will be able to tweak it to make it work. Thanks

            Man! This is great!

            I'd love to shoot the coverart of the game to a separate screen as well.

            Is this possible?

                Can I use a Led display like this one https://dynamo-led-displays.co.uk/product/curved-led-cabinet/ connected to my console?
