Try something like this

  <Item>
       <Title>MameoX</Title>
       <Description>Arcade Emulator</Description>
       <Exe>f:appsemulatorsmameoxdefault.xbe</Exe>
       <Media>e:mxmvidsmameox.wmv</Media>
       <AutoDir />
       <Passcode />
       <Thumbnail>f:appsemulatorsmameoxDEFAULT.XBE</Thumbnail>
  </Item>

Also try resetting the menu cache.  Hopes this helps.

is it just me, i don't think you can just use an xbe as a thumbnail source.  when you run a game, it sticks a thumbnail in the save game dir, you can use that, but you can't just point it at your xbe and expect it to dig out the thumbnail (or is this functionality in there and I just don't know about it)

try pointing the thumbnail tag at an actual picture, i.e. a jpg or a png, and reset your menu cache, I think you'll have better luck that way.
