Box covers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Describe the enhancement desired or suggested change:

I found this mod recently and I find it amazing. I'm sure you've heard of 
it too. It allows you to see all the box covers of your roms.
I think it should be implemented because it gives a nostalgic feeling and 
also the impression roms are more than just electronic data. I added the 
links of where I found it and of a video.

I'd rather see artwork on the right of the game select with some info.
Best be some screenshots of the game instead of box art, because those 
boxart-images 
are very hard to come by. I think this can be done fairly easy, i'd be happy to 
help 
with the images.

Well, you can download a very large portion of SNES boxart images here, if it 
helps:

I agree that this would be a very nice feature for the emulator to have. 
Perhaps it
would be a good idea to implement it like "hsloterw" suggested, having 
screenshots
become the ROM image as seen in Genesis Plus GX. People who want to use boxart 
could
still do so by manually replacing screenshot images with boxart scans of the 
proper
size. (They'd have to do that bit of manual work in either case, so it would 
work out
fine.)

It would be nice if the official snes9xgx for Wii uses cover boxart for rom 
selection, I think the Genesis one is very handy, because it allows take 
snapshots 
in game, I have my games marked with the title screen, similar to VC =)

Please make it happen!

Take a look at this, BlueMSX-wii:
http://www.qj.net/qjnet/wii/wii-homebrew-bluemsx-wii-v10.html
Just like FantomPhox's Unofficial GenplusGX, it shows screenshots to you, but 
even 
TWO screenshots at the same time.
Hope this screenshot feature comes to every GX emus (Snes, Nes & GBA)

I'd love such a feature too!
Best thing would be box art + screenshot, so everybody would be happy :)
