May be I would only need to check if there is a video in certain path, if there is one, use it. So for those users who want videos, they will find a way to provide them

Sounds good to me. Any limitations on file type / dimentions or size ?

To browse through the millions of roms a videopreview to each game would be great.
I always play a game for..I dont know - 2 Minutes, and at the end of the day I land at bubble bobble.
But til now I start Hyperspin on Android, surf through the games, watch the short videoclips, and when I found a game to play (for max. 2 minutes) I start RetroX and play it there, cause I love this look, that every emulator looks similar, you dont have to configurate anything except the gamepad..and the saveoption is childish easy.

So please give us the option to integrate videos..and like the rom files.. every user has to find his own way to download videoclips for RetroX.

and while begging, let me beg for: G7000, Fairchild, Colecovision, Armstrad, Sinclair, GX4000, Arcadia... and all the real old stuff and Atari ST.

and I will cut my hair like Arturo Vidal

How does Retropie do it? I know the Iso's I get have video snaps in a folder. Could user not add it local in a folder?

Yeah, that should be the method. If a video snap is found in a specific folder, then it's used.
Now that themes is released, it make sense to add this feature
