Display cover of the game #18

Although I have not too much of a good idea how to display cover of the game without masking too much of the game name on such a small screen, it would be nice to display cover for games

This is a feature I wanted to implement. There are just not enough resources available on the device to scrape for cover art. A PC program that does the scraping and "baking" of the image (raw RGB565 of fixed size) will need to be developed to achieve this feature.

Yes, shouldn't be too complicated. What size could the Odroid Go handle for the picture without hurting menu navigation performances ?

Also I suppose scrapping name for the games and displaying them is not possible once again regarding resources ?

OtherCrashOverride commented 6 years ago

The image size will depend on how the feature is implemented. Selecting files by cover art or "proper" name will likely not be possible due to resource constraints. However, once a file is selected, the cover art could be displayed.

Cover art is displayed in the 20180810 release.
