That actually got fixed on its own with the last update. Steam no longer deletes custom icons or games.

Nice, I had no clue you could change the grid view icons! I have a feeling I'll be making quite a few of these over the next few days, ha.
Here's one for Kamui that I slapped together.
Thank you SO MUCH. Of all the ones I thought I wouldn't find.........
It's also the last one I needed.

I've tried everything and can't figure out how to add these pictures in. I'm in the beta because I have big picture mode which is why I was trying to get these pictures to work. I don't seem to have the option anywhere on games to add in custom image. Not when I right click on them or go into the details.

And I'm an idiot. I kept trying to click details in grid mode which just switched back to detail mode. Thanks a ton.

Where does steam store the banners for existing steam games?
The reason - I have set up multiple instances of zdoom (add non steam game) for heretic, hexen, and doom, so that I don't have to use mouse driven menu selections (BPM). I have each zdoom set with its own picture of heretic, hexen and doom, but I am using the banners from the store page and they are lower res than the actual banners used for those games. I can't for the life of me find where the actual full res banners are for steam games.

I spent about two hours trying to get an emulator to launch an individual game through Steam. I r bad at computers.

Using an emulator with steam: (Gonna use zsnes as an example)
1. The first thing you must do is associate the rom files with the emulator. This allows you to launch the emulator and rom in one go.
Right click Rom>Properties>Change>Select Zsnes and make sure the box at the bottom is ticked.
2. Now you need to add the game to steam. There are a few ways to do this. Steam will generally not allow you to add a file unless it ends in .exe or .bat
First method is to change the rom into an exe file. Example: "Action52.smc" will now become "Action52.smc.exe" You must uncheck "Hide files extensions" in the folder options settings. Start>Control Panel>Appearances>Folder Options. You can now add the rom to steam. Just remember to take off the .exe extension once it is added, from both the file name and the steam target link.
Second Method is to add any exe file to steam, Right click the program name in steam, and change the target of the rom you wish to load.
Example. C:\Aol.exe is now "C:\Users\SN\Desktop\Gaming\Zsnes\Action52.smc

Made a custom one because the original one is a little plain. Not 100% happy with it, though.
