Space Invaders 1978 no artwork

I'm new to Launchbox, installed 10.10 yesterday on Win 10x64.  It's working really well but for some odd reason my all time favorite arcade classic Space Invaders (1978) has no cover art.  I tried the different image groups and nothing shows.  I refreshed the images. I did the ctrl-e and selected download images/media but nothing happens.  The rom is invaders.zip.  I can't believe this game would not have cover art.

My guess is it is imported as a different name or region as there is a ton of artwork for it on our database.

So what do I do?  I don't see anything in edit options to insert that link for the media?

I see your issue it hasnt scraped from our database due to the rom name. Delete the "/Space Invaders M part", then click the "Search For Metadata button" that should then match the game correctly and add the metadata, you can then use the "Download Images/Media" button to grab artwork.
