Images will be loaded by directories using each character (case-sensitive) of the full 4-character Game Code (as identified in the menu ROM information):
i.e. for GoldenEye NTSC USA (NGEE), this would be `sd:/menu/boxart/N/G/E/E/boxart_front.png` .
2025-01-12 23:15:27 +00:00
i.e. for GoldenEye PAL (NGEP), this would be `sd:/menu/boxart/N/G/E/P/boxart_front.png` .

To improve compatibility between regions (as a fallback), you may exclude the region ID (last matched directory) for GamePaks to match with 3-character IDs instead:

i.e. for GoldenEye, this would be `sd:/menu/boxart/N/G/E/boxart_front.png` .
2025-01-20 23:51:08 +00:00
**Warning**: Excluding the region ID may show a box art of the wrong region.
**Note**: For future support, box art sprites should also include:
- `boxart_back.png`
- `boxart_top.png`
- `boxart_bottom.png`
- `boxart_left.png`
- `boxart_right.png`
- `gamepak_front.png`
- `gamepak_back.png`
