• The Best Source: The GamesDB (thegamesdb.net) or libretro-thumbnails (used by RetroArch).
• Image Requirements: You want 3D Box Art (the retail box spine and front) or 2D Flat Scans.
• Pro tip: Do not use "Title Screens" or "In-Game" shots. The emulator is hardcoded to look for "Boxart."

• Format: PNG (Portable Network Graphics) – supports transparency and high quality.
• Dimensions: SNES9xGX automatically scales images, but the ideal resolution is 256 x 360 pixels or 512 x 720 pixels (2x scale). Using 256x360 keeps file sizes small and loading fast.
• Filename: The image name must match the ROM filename exactly, including capitalization, but with a .png extension instead of .sfc or .smc.
