How to add covers to games and create playlist?
Sure you need playlist to use the covers.
Look at old posts of this thread; there's a little program called playlistcreator4 or something similar.
Then you need each images in format .PNG, and put them inside this path:
ux0/data/retroarch/thumbnails/*CORE NAME*/Named_Boxarts/
*CORE NAME* is obvious the name of the core/playlist you want to have covers. To give the right name of the core, use these:
https://github.com/libretro/libretro-thumbnails
So, for instance, if you want to use PlayStation covers, the path become:
thumbnails\Sony - PlayStation\Named_Boxarts\GameTitle.png
----
Playlist go in retroarch\playlist (wow, i never thought about that LOL)
You can even create playlist by yourself using notepad++, and follow this format:
ux0:/data/PlayStation/Tenchu - Stealth Assassins (U) (v1.0).PBP
Tenchu - Stealth Assassins (U) (v1.0)
app0:/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.self
app0:/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.self
Sony - PlayStation.lpl
the first string is game rom path
the second string is name of the picture (without the PNG extension here; and only need the name of the cover picture, not the name of the game of the full path. You can named the cover as you wish)
The second and the third strings are core name and path used for that playlist.
The fourth one is the name of the playlist file.
To adding more games, remember no empty string after "Sony - PlayStation.lpl"
For instance:
ux0:/data/PlayStation/Tenchu - Stealth Assassins (U) (v1.0).PBP
Tenchu - Stealth Assassins (U) (v1.0)
app0:/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.self
app0:/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.self
Sony - PlayStation.lpl
ux0:/data/PlayStation/Rittai Ninja Katsugeki - Tenchu - Shinobi Gaisen (Japan).PBP
Rittai Ninja Katsugeki - Tenchu - Shinobi Gaisen (Japan)
app0:/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.self
app0:/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.self
Sony - PlayStation.lpl
ux0:/data/PlayStation/Jackie Chan Stuntmaster (U).PBP
Jackie Chan Stuntmaster (U)
app0:/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.self
app0:/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.self
then save the file with playlistname.lpl
(in this case, the saved file become
Sony - PlayStation.lpl
