Cover art for MAME games

By the way, the option I was talking about earlier is the last box on this screen in the import wizard (these are the default checks for this screen):

MAME Metadata 2.jpgIf you do check it, you'll then be taken to a special import screen specifically for MAME:

Ok, actually I did not have to download any art outside of what LB scares for. The only MAME games that imported without art (except only a couple) for me were games that didn't work anyway. So I'm all good now! Thanks for all the help everyone!

Great! :D

If you ever do decide that you want to add art for anything after the fact, the images just need to be placed in whatever folder you want for the appropriate image type (like "Boxes - Front") and match either the game title or rom file name. You can, of course, also add them manually to a game entry by editing the entry, right-clicking in the image section to the bottom right and selecting "add", browsing to whatever image you want, and then choosing whatever image type you want to categorize it as.
