Adding Images

Post by leejay83 » Tue Jul 23, 2019 6:30 am

Hey there,

Just bought this kit for my Atomiswave cab and so far really enjoying it. Have just come from using Retropie and I'm in the process of transferring my roms. I am curious though, as I am just transferring my roms and their image folders in the corresponding rom folder in ARpiCADE will it link the image previews to the correct rom? I looked at the FAQ but couldn't the info where to place the images.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

There's dedicated folders for preview images /boot/previews/ with subfolders for the various image types eg. snap, wheel, marquee etc. Those subfolders have subfolders for the various systems (with the exception of general arcade stuff that don't have dedicated folders). As long as the filenames match the names of the roms the images should be picked up automatically by the frontend (when supported by the current theme).
