Place the images in the folder assigned in AVL for the Fanart and name them (Application name)_extra1.jpg & (Application name)_extra2.jpg, eg: Bioshock 2_extra1.jpg & Bioshock 2_extra2.jpg. For the Arcade View you have the option for Multimage, be aware multimage will display every image in a given folder, so it's recommend to keep different folders for it if not it will show every image that's located in the folder selected.
* AVL + Panel/Showcase/Arcade Gamesys Fanart Background
Images have to be located in C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.night.purity \extras\games\console\Game System Name.png
Here you have some emulators icons & fanart you can use Emuxtras
