Unfortunately the RetroArch UI since the older days up until now, has an annoying bug to not displaying PC Engine Games Cover art.
No matter how i do. Changed cover art to different size and format, it still not showing anything in the playlist.
Normally i just add a .PNG images to the RetroArch folders containing the images with name corresponding to the game name in the playlist.
Please check this issue.
This is been happened for a very long time.
