No problem!Perhaps you could Copy/Paste your conversation with them to give an idea of how this is achieved , Please (: it's amazing how well things are going for retroarch just to wait for overlays and shaders to actually take advantage of the wii u resolution *_*

@cucholix
First you need to create a playlist, I used the app playlist buddy, I even posted a pic explaining the usage, it must be around the latest page. Try messing around with playlist buddy and told me back, there are people using the built in network downloader make sure you boot RA with CFW to speed SD reading.

Thanks!
Well, about the playlist:
I think i've made this one time.
I tried with your image and after this, a new column have appear on Retroarch with the name of the 2 roms i've put on playlist.
2 problems after this:
1 - The collumn do not show any icon, is this right? (I've already download the asset)
2 - When i choose the game, they ask me to choose the core and did not found any core.
Is this because i'm use RPX version?
Thanks!

Understood!
Yesterdayl i've download this http://thumbnailpacks.libretro.com/ and try to use, but with no sucess..
I've download (now) the retroarch pc version to try to understand the folder structure.
Now i'll try to do the thing you told me.
Thank you! I'll reply!
So, Do i need to use specific folders names on playlist buddy?
@cucholix
yeah that thumbnail pack is correct, do you check if your roms have the same name as the .png?
For example: Super Mario Bros (USA).zip should have Super Mario Bros (USA).png to show the thumbnail correctly
There's no "correct" folder structure but the most "clean" in my opinion:
sd:/roms/Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertaiment System/Super Mario Bros (USA).zip
Use the same folder name as the thumbnail pack from RA
Me
Well, on Playlist Buddy, need i use some specific name,on specific box?
Hmmmmmmmm, understood this too!
So, about the playlist
On "Base Rom Path" I put the path of roms located on my pc
Ex: C:/Users/roms
On Local Destination Path I put a location to save the generated playlist
Ex: C:/Users/Downloads
On Playlist Settings I put the local on my WiiU SD Card where i put the roms
Ex:sd:/roms/Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertaiment System
The buddy will generate 2 folders - Playlist and Thumbnails and only i need to do is copy this to retroarch sd folder?
Thanks for patience
@cucholix
Remember that thumbnail downloader will only work if your roms have the same name as the one in the thumbnail pack repository.
Also, in RA the playlist default path is sd:/retroarch/cores/playlist
Thumbnails don't have a default one (I think) so you must set that path, I put it under cores folder because it's more handy when working with Playlist Buddy.
So:
sd:/retroarch/cores/playlist
sd:/retroarch/cores/thumbnails
Important, with this setup you need your SD card inserted in your PC,it will generate everything to your SD, no need to copy/paste from PC.
Me
WOW!!!!! Now i understand clearly!!! Thank you sooooooooooooooo much! I'll try later and after this i will come back to say thank you again hehe!!!
Playlist ok!
Thumbnail Ok!
DSI error when try to run =(
@cucholix
Delete your config files from Retroarch, that always cause problem...
Me
I've found what is wrong!
When i open Retroarch on HBC, they redirect to another core
Now i've found the right retroarch.rpx!
Thank you man!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really Thanks!
I've found another user with DSI problem, i will explain to her!
Thanks!!!!
