Hey Angelscry,
I've changed the default info scraper to GameFaqs, because I like my "Description" field to be the text from the back of the game boxes. I also turned on automatic Boxart import for US boxes (also from GameFaqs). However, ALA is automatically pulling in FanArt too, even though I do not have this option turned on. I believe this is a bug.
Also, ALA doesn't store the info for the Roms anywhere. It would be really nice if ALA read the info from a ROM.nfo file that was stored with the emulator in the same way that fanart and thumbs are stored. Even better, if you mimicked the current file layout that XBMC uses for Movies! Store the Fanart.jpg, Boxart.jpg, Rom.* and Info.nfo files in a folder with the same name as the rom:
"Rom Folder"
|====="Rom Name"
|======|------Rom Name.zip
|======|------Fanart.jpg
|======|------Thumb.jpg
|======|------Info.nfo
|====="Another Rom Name"
|======|------Another Rom Name.zip
|======|------Fanart.jpg
|======|------Thumb.jpg
|======|------Info.nfo
What do you think?
