While @bmaupin 's above method for fixing the banner problem worked for the most part, I'm now getting this error when trying to generate covers for some GBC games:

Here's my best guess:
The game database for NSUI seems to be hardcoded into the .exe file. If you calculate the checksum for the ROM, e.g.
Code:
$ md5sum ~/Desktop/Legend\ of\ Zelda\,\ The\ -\ Oracle\ of\ Seasons\ \(USA\,\ Australia\).gbc
f2dc6c4e093e4f8c6cbea80e8dbd62cb /home/bryan/Desktop/Legend of Zelda, The - Oracle of Seasons (USA, Australia).gbc
You can then search the .exe file for that game entry, e.g.
Code:
$ strings New\ Super\ Ultimate\ Injector\ for\ 3DS.exe | grep -B 2 -A 1 -i f2dc6c4e093e4f8c6cbea80e8dbd62cb
<game name="Legend of Zelda, The - Oracle of Seasons (USA)">
<description>Legend of Zelda, The - Oracle of Seasons (USA)</description>
<rom name="Legend of Zelda, The - Oracle of Seasons (USA).gbc" size="1048576" crc="D7E9F5D7" md5="F2DC6C4E093E4F8C6CBEA80E8DBD62CB" sha1="BA1268290FB2B1B70505D2D7B5825FC8A4816A4B" status="verified"/>
</game>
Note that the game is listed as "Legend of Zelda, The - Oracle of Seasons (USA)", but that entry no longer exists in the libretro thumbnails database, which instead has it listed under "Legend of Zelda, The - Oracle of Seasons (USA, Australia)". So I'm guessing NSUI is trying to fetch the file with the old name.
It's too bad really, because you can see that the game database seems to be formatted as XML. If it was an external file we could easily change it. It's a very odd decision to hardcode it into the .exe.
I suppose you could try beta 28 and see if it's fixed there.
If not, your best bet is to just download it manually and click Load image from file.
It's pretty easy to get the files from the source:
1. Go to https://github.com/libretro-thumbnails and pick the specific repo for the system (e.g. Nintendo_-_Game_Boy_Color)
2. Click Go to file and start typing the name of the game
3. Click the one under Named_Titles > Download
So in your case, your file is here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/l... The - Oracle of Seasons (USA, Australia).png
