:'''7)''' By default, games added to Steam client in this manner do not have background images on their details pages. But any screenshots you take while playing a game using Steam (''F12'' '''Steam''' hotkey), are automatically used later as the background image for that game. Bear in mind though that ''F12'' key is also the movie capture shortcut in '''GSdx''' PCSX2 plugin, so you additionally will need to click ''Cancel'' when the movie capture dialog appears.

There is an open source project called ICE, that allows you to easily add your PS2/console games to Steam library. You can find it at [http://scottrice.github.io/Ice/ http://scottrice.github.io/Ice]<br />
There are two open source options for adding emulator ROMs to Steam in bulk. A (no longer maintained) program called ICE allows you to easily add your PS2/console games to Steam library. You can find it at [http://scottrice.github.io/Ice/ http://scottrice.github.io/Ice]<br /><br />
'''Please read its documentation carefully before using it.'''}}


Another option is Steam ROM Manager. Unlike ICE, this program is actively maintained as of June 2020 and has a GUI. Steam ROM Manager can also download all types of artwork for the new steam layout and manage steam categories. It has built in documentation and may be found at [https://github.com/doZennn/steam-rom-manager/releases].<br />
'''Please read  documentation carefully before using either.'''
