Modify the "Take Screenshot" function in RetroArch/Quickmenu to do cover shots

Open ScHlAuChii opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

When you start a game enter the Retroarch menu to access the QuickMenu. There you can find the "Take Screenshot" option - which is rather useless on the NMC.

So why not modify it, so it overwrites the current cover shot of the game you started?

You can pull screenshots using clovershell, so it's not that useless And what do you mean by "cover shot"? Is there really a point in this function?

The cover shots you can see here: https://cdn2.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/7191327/NESclassic_Features_SCRNs_05-Suspend.0.jpg Like the Super Mario Bros 2 Box.

So if you have 100 games installed and dont want to set up a cover-shot for each one in hakachi, you can just do a screenshot in RetroArch and that will be taken as cover :)

I suppose this could be done, but I still don't see the point. Adding the covers using Hakchi2 is much easier anyway. Too much fuss for almost nothing.
