Both…Any. It just seems to limit options that I can’t just upload my own set of images and retropie/emulationstation automatically recognize that they are the ones relevant without having to generate an xml with the paths.

So each system rom folder would already have an image folder in it and I just put the cosponsoring image into that and hey-presto! Done. If there’s no image then there’s no image shown.

I’ve tried both options for scraping and the hatchet job i’m currently doing works loads better with less time and less effort using all my own box art i just upload using FTP. If i had more programming ability i’d make a PC program to scan rom folders and output to an xml with all available links to images.

Don’s Hyperspin Tools….That has a “Create New HyperList” program which i use to scan my rom folders then run it through a few word replaces and it’s done. No description no nothing…Just the Path to file and image.
