Box Art ?

[CocoCreekFisherman]

I did not see any apps for this in the repo. I noticed that certain wed sites enable one to download a game's box art.

Does the Pandora have an app for this? Some emulators provide a picture of the system being emulated...and I believe some emulators show a game's box art,arcade machine or maybe scenes of certain games.?? 

I was thinking more of a collection/.jpg type app of box art of video games in their proper category. Maybe in a card format? Maybe the next best thing to having the original box ?

Something that could be added to a launcher such as pandafe then? Or perhaps Pandafe itself?

^ Great idea. I'm not sure if anyone would go for this though,,,kind of trivial I suppose but I do like the box art of games very much.

Box art for games is cool, would really help with the experience when playing these old games. However, consider one problem, the size of the Pandora's screen. Box art is generally pretty big and would have to be zoomed in a great deal to show off anything .. that's a large portion of the screen right there.

That's true, but the Pandora screen is fairly high resolution, and most box art I can think of from the 80s and 90s is pretty simplistic.

or downright awful-looking. I certainly have no interest in most games' boxarts. The less ugly ones were probably on PC.

I especially love the weird ugly ones

I like the weird ugly ones and the corny,cheesy ones that look nothing like the game at all

I love the ones for older games, where an artist would have to use some imagination in designing the box art, unlike today where they can just take the 3d assets, pose them a bit, add the odd filter and title text and bosh, job done.

They don't make them like this any more (probably for the best )
