Ok this is something out of the ordinary for me. I am making something that is quite difficult to get working fully. I wanted it for myself, so I did it and thought others could benefit. Its tough, BUT, if you're up for it, it can be REALLY sweet!
In order to do this you will need ALOT of image support. I used a great app located here.
This also assumes that you have set the cover art with something like Advanced Launcher or Rom Collection Browser.
I currently support NES and SNES only. I am working on Genesis and may move into others but not right now.
You will need a folder structure filled with their corresponding images that looks like this:
skin.simplicity
>media
>>optional
>>>advanced launcher
>>>>NES
>>>>>cartridges
>>>>>screenshots
>>>>>titles (these are title screens from the games)
>>>>SNES
>>>>>box-3d (these are 3-d box covers)
>>>>>cartridges
>>>>>screenshots
>>>>>titles (these are title screens from the games)
If you have the necessary images in those folders. You can get the following views within Simplicity. All images arent necessary it will just make some views look bad. You can still use other views, just not all of them.
Here are the views:
