Gaming Backing up Roms

[sander55]

I would like to back up my roms with a cover art picture in the folder. I would then like to view this as a film strip so it is easy for my kids to see what game they would like. Problem is I cant seem to get the dvd to view as a film strip any suggestions?

DVD? I think you mean micro sd.

Buy a dvd player that can show JPG files?? (I wouldn't recommend it though)

There is no way for me to answer this post seriously

EDIT: copypasta from a more helpful source

Change view to thumbnails
Tools > Folder Options > View tab > Apply to All Folders

hmm I dont know why but sometimes it doesn't let you pick filmstrip? x.x; but it happens to me too D=

I think if you choose 'View > Thumbnail', folders display the picture.

I also do Filmstrip on my collection.

Try this one:

If you are going to put all the games in a DVD, before burning the files to the DVD organize your pictures and folders first.
Place everything (pictures and roms) in one folder.
Then right-click that folder. Click "Properties". You'll see tabs there, choose "Customize".
You'll see "Use this folder type as a template:" --> choose Pictures or Photo Album
Click "OK".

Then open your folder and click "View" --> choose Filmstrip or Thumbnails whichever suits you.

Hope this works for you!
