[UI Bug] in XMB mode dynamic wallpaper won't change in the NES column

[bronnel]

In XMB mode when you navigate to NES (Nintendo Entertainment System ) tab, the dynamic wallpaper doesn't change, I tested about 9 other cores all were showing up just fine , only on NES column it doesn't change (instead it shows the neighboring core wallpaper). I already made sure the corresponding png image is available in assets folder (Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System.png), and defined the path properly Here is what I'm talking about http://youtu.be/bED5SDBDfcA

I just noticed this is a part of a bigger issue, I was wrong to think it was related to NES tab. If you notice the first item in NES tab (super mario bros) have boxart, so if you delete its boxart png file or turn off (display boxart) in settings, then the wallpaper will show up, so this means there is a conflict between dynamic wallpaper and boxart.

I already reproduced this bug for Playstation tab

How to reproduce this bug 0- get in XMB mode 1- enable boxart 2- enable dynamic wallpaper 3- off course set the path for wallpaper and boxart 4- make sure the first item (game) in each tab (core) have a boxart and displayed properly 5- when you navigate to that tab (core) in which the first item have a boxart, then the dynamic wallpaper will not change ( won't show up ), instead it shows the neighboring wallpaper.

It is a real bug in our msg_queue code. When we push two msg with DATA_TYPE_IMAGE at the same time, the first one will be ignored and will lead to an empty texture. We need to fix this.

Well thank you I cannot wait for you to fix this, you're an amazing developer

@heuripedes just fixed this bug with his recent commits.

I installed the latest build the wallpaper shows up now but the boxart doesn't show

Now you have to follow this naming convention:

<boxarts_dir>/Nintendo - Game Boy/Named_Snaps/Zool - Ninja of the 'Nth' Dimension (Europe).png

You can grab image packs from there: https://screenshotpalace.wordpress.com/no-intro-screenshot-reloaded/

We needed to add folders because too much games share common names on different systems.

For now, the "Named_Snaps" string is hardcoded, but soon I will either remove it, or build a selection list with the following options: Named_Snaps, Named_Titles, Named_Boxarts.

We need to find a good source of Boxarts named after the no-intro rom names.
