EmuVR supports importing custom label images for your games' cartridges and CDs.

You can also customize your posters, wallpaper, bed sheet and pillow.


__TOC__

== Labels ==

Cartridge labels and CD art go in your `Custom/Labels` folder, and should match the '''exact''' same file structure as your Games folder.

For example, if you are adding a label for Super Mario Bros 3, which in this example is located in:

<code>C:\EmuVR<b>\Games\SNES\</b>Super Mario World.sfc</code>

You would add the label in:

<code>C:\EmuVR<b>\Custom\Labels\SNES\</b>Super Mario World.png</code>

Same console folder name, same file name.

PNG and JPG images are supported.

=== Optional No-Intro Naming ===
EmuVR will also check for label images filenames matching the [http://www.no-intro.org/ No-Intro] naming convention.

That naming convention means that Retroarch can identify some of your games, no matter how their files are named, as each game fingerprint has an unique "official" name from a known database.

This means that if EmuVR can't find a matching image file name, it will then look for an image using the known "official" file name for that game.


For example, if your Super Mario World file is named as '''''smw.sfc''''' or '''''smworld.sfc''''':

# EmuVR will first look for '''''smw.png''''' or '''''smworld.png'''''.
# If it's not found, EmuVR will then look for '''''Super Mario World (USA).png''''' (the identified official file name for this game)


'''You still need to download the images''' and put them in the right subfolders inside "\Custom\", matching your games folders. '''EmuVR won't download any labels automatically.'''

This feature just allows users to create/download label image packs using that naming convention, without worrying about renaming every image file to match their particular games file names.

== Posters ==
You can customize your bedroom with lots of posters placed in specific locations.

Your images should be added to the '''EmuVR\Custom\Posters''' folder, named as '''01.png''', '''02.png''', '''03.png''', and so forth, up to '''31.png'''.

PNG and JPG images are supported.

To see the location for each numbered poster, before using your own images, follow these steps:

# Copy all example image files from '''EmuVR\Custom\Posters\Examples''' into '''EmuVR\Custom\Posters'''.
# Run EmuVR, and you'll see every poster location in the bedroom, each showing a number.
# Replace the numbered image files in '''EmuVR\Custom\Posters''' with your custom images (try to match the aspect ratio to avoid stretched posters)
# Delete the unused example posters in '''EmuVR\Custom\Posters''' after you're done.

== The Bed, Wallpapers, Floor and Ceiling ==

You can change your bed sheets, pillow, wallpaper, floor and ceiling by adding the following images:

<code>Custom\Misc\bed_sheet.png</code>

<code>Custom\Misc\pillow.png</code>

<code>Custom\Misc\wallpaper.png</code>

<code>Custom\Misc\floor.png</code>

<code>Custom\Misc\ceiling.png</code>

PNG and JPG images are supported.

Additionally, there is a matching .txt file for each of those images, which you can edit to adjust the texture tiling and offset.

=== Advanced texturing: normal, glossiness, roughness, emissive ===
Optionally, you can add normal maps, glossiness or roughness maps, and emissive maps. This is supported only for the wallpaper, the floor and the ceiling textures.

If you have both glossiness and roughness maps for the same thing, the glossiness map will take precedence, and the roughness map will be ignored.

When authoring emissive textures, don't overdo it, or you'll go blind in the dark. The darker colors will be like a "turned off" light: it works the same way a wall projector works. Start with a pitch black image, then add colors in the places you want to be actually glowing. Contrast is key. Check the included examples from your download to learn how to do it.

While JPG images are also supported for the additional maps, PNGs are better suited for those types of channels, as JPEG artifacts will be augmented.

File naming:

<code>Custom\Misc\wallpaper_normal.png</code>

<code>Custom\Misc\wallpaper_glossiness.png</code>

<code>Custom\Misc\wallpaper_roughness.png</code>

<code>Custom\Misc\wallpaper_emissive.png</code>


<code>Custom\Misc\floor_normal.png</code>

<code>Custom\Misc\floor_glossiness.png</code>

<code>Custom\Misc\floor_roughness.png</code>

<code>Custom\Misc\floor_emissive.png</code>


<code>Custom\Misc\ceiling_normal.png</code>

<code>Custom\Misc\ceiling_glossiness.png</code>

<code>Custom\Misc\ceiling_roughness.png</code>

<code>Custom\Misc\ceiling_emissive.png</code>
