Hello there, thank for this valuable tutorial, it really helped me understand how to add boxart manually. I just have one question, can you help understand how to do the same for all roms in one step, i mean, how to redirect the path for all roms into one image folder? thank you

[alexrossalexross]

Hi friend, when I turn off Raspbarry my box art deletes, how do I save my image work in the roms?? thanks

I remember back in the day with Hyperspin, you could just download the complete 'marques', 'box art', 'description' ETC and just dump that folder in the appropriate spot and it worked. is there any procedure like that for retropie?? =/

10 minutes into the video before he shows how to add box art

[coreyfugate]

Helpful video! I added a description to a game and I can see it in the metadata in the retropie menu, but it doesn't show up on the screen when the game is highlighted. What am I missing?

[JamesHannagan]

My option to "edit this game's metadata" is not there on that menu. Do you know why that would be?

[chrissanchez]

Hey man, so I edited the metadata to a few of the games that that scraper did not get and i was able to edit information just fine. I turned off the system and went to use it later in the day and now nothing for that console has any data anymore - do you know why this would be? or how i can get it back? I’m sure all the info is still in the game list file and whatnot - Im running a VM image file.

[samuelececi]

please reply me i have got only the gamelist of retropie .how do make appear the others ?
sorry for the elementary language but i normally don't speak english

[babymuscle]

How you get your images for box art. Do you just download it from Google images to your computer and then go from there?

[Noah-Davis]

How can you hide game information after adding it.

[GenesHand]

You know the best way to add both boxart and metadata to romsets? Manually its impossible and doing it with the scrapper takes forever an there is a lot of wrong covers.

[dinop]

He didnt say where he got the actual image files from....where do i find them?

[Rob]

Can I send you my retropie SD card so you can do this for me? haha.

I have a few GBC games that for the life of me I can't get the boxart for and it's driving me crazy. I'm new to this pie scene and its a little overwhelming.

[markey]
