add full integration of retro game support

Short Description:

Each game also GameBoy and older games have a ID. GameTDB also support covers 
for retro games. So why not integrate full support for this ?

Donkey Kong Country 2 - Diddy's Kong Quest [JBDP].smc
Dragon Ball - Final Bout [SLES-03683].bin.ecm
Harvest Moon - Friends of Mineral Town [A4ND].gba
Mario Party 2 [NAZP].z64

ad so on ........

And there my Original Post:

Wiki explains how to "add custom titles"

But each emulator has his own folders, and why zip file ?
And i dont wanna use custom titles, i will use if its doable GameTDB.
Or simply my home made covers :D

Im have little skill with Photoshop and graphics design.

GameTDB supporting this time those games:

WiiWare, Homebrew, VC-NES, VC-SNES, VC-N64, VC-SMS (Master System), VC-MD 
(Megadrive/Genesis), VC-PCE (PC-Engine/Turbografx-16), VC-C64, VC-NEOGEO, 
VC-Arcade

So why not use it ?

I tried this

0367 - Golden Sun.gba
AZ8P - Legend of Zelda - Oracle of Ages.gbc
SLES-02781 Harvest Moon - Back to Nature.bin

Folder structure is

L:\vbagx\roms\AZ8P - Legend of Zelda - Oracle of Ages.gbc

or

L:\vbagx\roms\Legend of Zelda - Oracle of Ages [AZ8P]\ AZ8P.gbc

And where to put Cover files ? None of this wiki pages eplayins which 
Resolution a cover needed.

Help a noob please :D out of his confusion.
