 Remember back in the physical arcades how game cabinets would proudly display the logo of the game they featured on the overhead billboards? Well, thanks to the aid of modern technology, it is now possible to replicate those banners! And since we're in Batocera, we can dynamically change those artworks to reflect the game that's being played at that current moment!

+You can use a 2nd screen to display marquees.
+Plug a 2nd screen, go in menu, system, multiple screen, and choose the marquee theme.
+Images scrapped from es will be used to display images.
+You can customize images, by creating them with the following /userdata/system/backglass
+For system logos:
+  * ./systems/snes/logo.png
+  * as general rule : ./systems/{system}/logo.{png|jpg}
+For games types image/video/marquee/thumbnail/fanart/manual/titleshot/bezel/magazine/manual/boxart/boxback/wheel/mix:
+  * ./systems/gb/games/marquee/tetris.png
+  * as general rule : ./systems/{system}/games/{type}/logo.{png|jpg}
+From the game name, remove anything containing parenthesis, non alpha, and put it in lowercase :
+Tetris 2 (Japan).gb becomes tetris2.png
+For example, if your game name is Asterix.7z, put a file named /userdata/system/backglass/systems/snes/games/marquee/asterix.jpg to customize the marquee image.
+You can customize image, video, marquee, thumbnail, fanart, manual, titleshot, bezel, magazine, manual, boxart, boxback, wheel, mix that the different backglass themes use.
