Yes it is possible, look at this, this is how I personally display my different game system.
Like for roms you can define 2 images for a
launcher : the thumbnail image (like game system logo) and the fanart image (like game system photo). You can manually select those images directly from the
launcher with the "edit lancher" option or by editing manually the
launchers.xml file into /userata (<thumb> and <fanart> tags). The corresponding
launcher tags may look like this :
Code:
<launcher>
<name>Saturn</name>
<application>/usr/bin/yabause</application>
<args>-a -f -i </args>
<rompath>/mnt/multimedias/consoles/saturn/roms/</rompath>
<thumbpath>/mnt/multimedias/consoles/saturn/covers/</thumbpath>
<fanartpath>/mnt/multimedias/consoles/saturn/fanarts/</fanartpath>

<launcherplot>The Sega Saturn is a 32-bit video game console that was first released on November 22, 1994 in Japan, May 11, 1995 in North America, and July 8, 1995 in Europe. The system was discontinued in North America, Europe, and Australia in 1998, and in 2000 in Japan. While the system was popular in Japan, it failed to gain a similar market share in North America and Europe against Sony's PlayStation and the Nintendo 64, its main competitors. According to a July 2007 GamePro article, the Saturn sold 9.5 million units worldwide. In 2009, video game website IGN chose the Saturn to be their 18th best video game console of all time, out of 25.</launcherplot>
