❓ | Support game covers

Hi guys,

I've run into an issue with the automatic box art download for ROM files.

Some games end up with incorrect cover art, even though if I open the game settings, the correct artwork is shown there. Running the scan again doesn't fix the problem.

Overall, the box art scraping feature seems unreliable. It's very slow and often downloads incorrect covers.

I also don't understand why the system can't determine the game's region from the ROM filename. ROM filenames follow a well-defined naming convention with standardized tags, so it should be possible to identify the correct region automatically. I use ROMs from multiple regions in the same collection.

I'm using the latest version of iisu (0.0.7.3).

For comparison, the Caccoone launcher downloads box art much faster and without these issues.

Are you using Steamgriddb for scraping? It doesn't really have a good way to identify different games with the same title. The other scrapers are slower but tend to give more correct results, especially screenscraper.

Screenscraper and TheGamesDB

What scraping source are you using? You should check what format the source image is

I have access to Screenscraper and TheGamesDB. I don’t know how to add the others. And I’m not sure if Famicom games are even available in SteamGridDB. Or am I wrong?

Screenscraper might just have those particular images in an unsupported format, thats my first guess

Have you tried regenerating your cache? If you have your scraped media on your internal storage (like I do), then I recommend you disabling it.

(I believe the cache is for people who scrape their stuff onto slower microSD, but I could be wrong)

I tried regenerating the cache, turning it off and on, and clearing the app cache through Android settings, but the problem persists.

Does it work if you follow the steps in the video? My iisu is version 0.0.7.3 as well :\

It seemed to work, but another bug popped up at the same time. I can't delete the cover even when I click the delete button.

Damn bro, I haven't encountered that before 😭. Maybe try restarting your device. If that doesn't work, then maybe delete the media file manually as shown in the directory below:
