Experimental features
These features are subject to change:
ROM Boxart
To use boxart, place PNG files in the /menu/boxart folder on the SD card with the following dimensions:
- Standard covers: 158x112
- 64DD covers: 129x112
- Japanese covers: 112x158
Each file must be named according to the 2 letter ROM ID, or 3 letter ROM ID including media type.
i.e. for GoldenEye 2 letters, this would be GE.png.
i.e. for GoldenEye 3 letters, this would be NGE.png.
You can download these boxart packs:
Menu Settings
The Menu creates a config.ini file in sd:/menu/ which contains various settings that are used by the menu.
If required, you can manually adjust the file on the SD card using your computer.
