Cart pics instead of Box pics?
« on: February 12, 2022, 08:00:20 am »
I noticed that for some reason its showing many games in collection as the cart or disc pic instead of the front Box pic?
I think something needs to be fixed.

I think it means you don't have them boxed, but loose and therefor it shows your collection in it's current state.

That is as intended. We updated the logic to not just show the box art, but based on the settings for the game itself. If you have selected the full game and the box too, it should show the box art. If you only have the cart selected, it'll just try to show the cartridge art.

There seems to be a bug with this, where if you only have the cart but the listing doesn't have cart artwork it displays an error:

I'm sorry. Do the rest of you also want the ability to choose between for this setting?

Personally I like having the cart pictures for the games I don't own boxes for, but I do think that the option to toggle it would be nice in general.

For me yes if possible.

I would like the ability for this to be toggled on or off. For a moment I thought the database had removed the pictures.

I would also like to choose to toggle the setting on or off. Items in my collection that don't have a physical box not just default to "no art" now, like strategy guides and all digital games.

please leave it showing the box art on default. I do not want to go all my games and add box just because of this stupid change.
Please fix.  >:(

I would also like the option to choose. I often look at my collection on this site to help me pick a game to play, and seeing all the box art in front of me in a uniform manner helps with that. I understand how showing the cart for games where you only own the cart is helpful for those who want that information at a glance, but in my opinion it looks a lot less clean and is disruptive when trying to visually browse titles. It's a good idea, but not for everyone, and an option to toggle between one or the other would be a fantastic addition.
