Homebrew Question pFBA where does cover art go on the switch?

[fredward]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out where the cover art goes for pFBAneo Nintendo Switch. I have looked everywhere online and cant find anything. If anyone could help that would be great. Also whats the best rom set for the switch version for pFBAneo?

Place files inside "media/mixrbv2/" for your .png previews or "media/video/" for .mp4 video previews

I tried that and nothing happened. There was no media folder in the pfba so created it. Are you sure thats where its supposed to go? I even renamed the png file to the name of the zip file still nothing

The media folder goes in your rom folder. By the way, there's a pFBA thread!

The path is also relative to your roms folder, so for example if you change your roms folder to ux0:/roms/pfbneo then you need to put the covers/snaps/previews in ux0:/roms/pfbneo/media/mixrbv2.

The files need to be named after the rom's filename, not the game's title, so for "Metal Slug 3" it needs to be mslug3.png, not "Metal Slug 3.png". So retrolib (Retroarch) files won't work unless you rename each file individually.

I found these sources where you can download the previews/snaps already with the correct names, keep in mind some contain 10k or 20k files and range in size from 300 Mb to 2 Gb.
