Xport Emu's To Support Boxart

IMO this feature should definitly be added to xports emu's
one thing that i love about surreal is being able to choose games by selecting the boxart, kinda feels like im at toys'r'us choosing a game..lol

Pointless and not worth having, the emu's are perfect just the way they are. If you want "box art" just use a picture of the box as a screen shot, and there you go, you have your toys'r'us feel  wink.gif

Personally I prefer a screenshot of the title screen, and a few in-game screenshots.

If you really wanted box-art though, why not make it a personal project and then share it with the community?

Y'know what I'd like? To have emulator menus show the spines from the games' boxes all in a row like a virtual games-shelf. happy.gif

A scanner and photoshop should sort that out.

In all honesty that'd be a hell of a lot cooler than box art

Why not both? It would be a lot of work though. The roms that Xport's emus use don't have boxart in them like N64 ones.

No rom has box art in it. The box art images are just a ton of png image files added to the skin. The box art is in no way included with the rom

The voting option should have been, Yes- This would be a COOL feature. It is
in no way a valuable feature. With that said, I wouldn't mind having it. I think it
wouldn't be worth Xport's time though.

I just take a screen shot of the title screen.

That way i don't have to look at the file name, but the picture.

I'm with Guile.  It would be a cool feature, but this is something an end-user could do.  Xport has done quite a lot for everyone already.  You wouldn't even have to have knowledge of how to code.  Just get the images together and distribute them on a website.
