      I really like how Retropie is able to display coverart/screenshot and information about the game and from what I can gather, what it shows on the game selection menu is dependent on the theme but I personally would like to have more control over metadata and screenshots.

      Some configuration where the user is able to be selective about particular information shown. For example, I personally could do without the game rating (as I'm sure I play games that are overall rated poorly), the release date and the last time I played the game. The number of players though would be handy when looking for 2+ player games and the description so I can have a brief understanding on the type of game (for ones I haven't played previously). Having access to the metadata information is helpful to begin with. Though, if you could filter it where it would only show 2, 3, 4 player games or games made by your favourite publishers for example - it would really give the metadata much more purpose.

      As for screenshots, it would be great to have more control over particular images. For example, for it to only just show coverart or screenshot or both if available. Essentially, being able to control the number of images shown.
