Good question. You can already do it with RCB but it is a bit unhandy (but I think you are used to it).
Add a new FileType to config.xml:
Add the path to your fallback image to every RomCollection:
Add the FileType to every fileTypeFor...-element that is in use:
This will first try to get a boxfront image and if it does not find one it will use the fallback. This way you can chain as many images as you like, it will stop with the first one it finds.
Not sure if there is a more easy way to do this in the skin files. I could also think about adding two global default images (1 portrait, 1 landscape) to the config.
Add a new FileType to config.xml:
Code:
<FileType>
<name>fallback</name>
<type>image</type>
<parent>game</parent>
</FileType>
Add the path to your fallback image to every RomCollection:
Code:
<mediaPath type="fallback">PathToArtwork\fallback.png</mediaPath>
Add the FileType to every fileTypeFor...-element that is in use:
Code:
<fileTypeForGameList>boxfront</fileTypeForGameList>
<fileTypeForGameList>fallback</fileTypeForGameList>
<fileTypeForGameListSelected>boxfront</fileTypeForGameListSelected>
<fileTypeForGameListSelected>fallback</fileTypeForGameListSelected>
...
