Real box art for emulated games

GameHub now gets box art from the LaunchBox Games Database, so emulated games show the actual box they came in.

  • LaunchBox art is used first for emulated games, and second to SteamGridDB for PC games. Art you picked yourself is never replaced.
  • GameHub prefers the box art for your own region, so you see the covers you remember.
  • It needs no API key. GameHub downloads LaunchBox's database at most once a week, and only when it has changed. You can switch it off in Settings.
  • Fix match has a new Box art (LaunchBox) option, on the game page and in Console Mode.
  • If a picture is removed from the source site, GameHub now moves on to the next best one instead of failing on every sync.

Covers in the right shape

Cover tiles now take the shape of each platform's box, so the whole box is shown and nothing is cut off:

  • Square for PlayStation, Dreamcast, Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance cases
  • Wide for Nintendo 64 and SNES boxes
  • Tall as before for DVD-style cases (PS2, GameCube, Wii, Xbox, Switch and more) and PC games

In Console Mode, every cover is its own shape, even on shelves that mix platforms like Recently played and All games. Covers line up along the bottom of each row, like boxes on a shelf. Up and down on the controller move to the cover that lines up best in the next row.

In the desktop library, a grid showing one platform uses that platform's shape. A grid that mixes platforms keeps the tall card and shows each cover whole inside it.

Console Mode

  • When a game's buttons wrap onto a second row, up and down now move between the rows of buttons instead of only scrolling the page.
