I love this application and have followed it closely, each day. Have a question about savestates and a observation/opinion about boxart.
From what I understand, all savestates are preserved when adding and removing new games, but lost when resetting the NESCE to factory setting or reflashing the original kernel. I assume savestates also persist for games that are removed. Is there any way to back up savestates? It would be nice to back up savestates from longer games, such as the Dragon Warrior games in the event a reset or kernel reflash is necessary. Is this a possibility for a future revision of hackchi2 or outside of the applications capability? I only figured it could take things off if it is able to put things on.
I also wish there was an option to keep the aspect ratio of the original image for the boxart, while keeping within the constraints of the 204x204 pixel limitation (i.e. if my image is 1545x2100, I would rather it resize to 150x204 and not 140x204, causing it to stretch; a lot of available and good quality boxart is meant for different-sized cases and as long as the 204 height or width is maintained, it looks fine on the NESCE). I end up doing my boxart manually, and it looks better without being improperly stretched (especially some Japanese boxart like the FDS). Thumbnail rotation needs to be fixed on landscape and FDS boxart as it is being stretched quite a bit. Since it takes quite a while to manually add and rename them, it would also be nice to have the ability to auto-add boxart from a specified folder given the name of the boxart matches the name of the corresponding ROM. Having to add 80 boxart also takes time. Thanks.
