ROM Hack Question Retroarch for Switch - How to get cover artworks, thumbnails etc for all ROMs

[Weltenfeind666]

How or where to get cover artworks, thumbnails etc for all ROMs (all-in-one for one system), and where to put them

I just want to know, where to get some coverartworks, thumbnails and backgroundpictures for all the roms like nes snes n64 gb gbc gba in the Retroarch lists on the Switch. I had that on my old SD-card but after changing to a new one and updatet Retroarch version, I don't have the pictures it would be great to have some help here

PS. the modified Switch is never or not connected to the internet.

You need to setup a playlist beforehand, create your own with the scanning feature.

Option 1: without internet connection, download manually the thumbnail you want from here https://thumbnails.libretro.com/

Option 2: you can let the system download them for you, just make sure your rom names match the ones here https://thumbnails.libretro.com/

thanks for the answer, but its not really what I wanted, because I have to choose manually the pictures for each game, is there a way to get a pack with all the rom pictures for each system and put it on a folder at the Switch?

The second option is what I don't understand because I never use or will use internet on the modified Switch, and how could a playlist or scanning feature help, when the switch isnt connected to the internet, is there another way? I had some pictures in the past on my old SD and at that time the Switch was also NOT connected to the net. thanks

Where did u put them?

in to \retroarch\thumbnails\"your playlist here"\Named_Boxarts but if there is even one letter difference between rom and thumbnail it will not work in retroarch so good luck ^^

Ps. if you are looking for nes, snes, gb (so far only this 3) i can help you with my pretty good packs (i hope so) with covers screenshots, and title screens hit me up on pw.
