Description

For example,if you have an smw rom hack,that the cover of the normal smw will be used for that automatically.
That would look better than just no cover.
Also an option to set,that the cover for rom hacks has something like "Rom Hack" in it would be cool,so you immediantly see if it's the base game or a Rom Hack.
