[develop] Additional proofread of the docs (#209) 
## Description

reference documents.
- Added some of the writing included on the main branch.
- Added code tags to some button names I missed out.
- Other uppercasing fixes and nitpicks.

Game Art Images

To use N64 game box art images, place your PNG files within the sd:/menu/boxart/ folder.

Supported images

Files must be in PNG format and use the following dimensions:

  • American/European N64 box art sprites: 158x112
  • Japanese N64 box art sprites: 112x158
  • 64DD box art sprites: 129x112

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.
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.

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

As a starting point, here is a link to a box art pack, that has boxart_front.png:
