DOSBOX COVER Art

Postby deaddisk » Fri Jul 07, 2017 3:17 pm

Hello,

Today i try the DOSBOX. Most of the games run out of the box without any problems - thanks for that. The problem is like for example at Amiga too, many missing Cover Arts - at DOSBOX are only a few Covers. The Roms are all well named an its own folders, no ",()[]" etc.

Any hints for the many missing covers?

Regards and go on with your good support and work!

All I do is use Google, I type in name of game into the browser plus PC, wait for Google to find what it can, then click on images tab, that usually shows the cover / box art, I download that image, and rename it, "Game title.cover.jpg".
That has worked for me, for every game system, I have searched for even, MSX cover art.
And yes I know this does take a very long time to do especially if you have hundreds of games.

I must add that artwork. It's not done yet.
The guys from RetroMania have helped with MOST systems, but computer systems are lagging behind. They will have artwork as time passes.
