These are arrays of strings that are paths to images.

"connect_guides": [ "/titles/A-9444_e/CONNECT_GUIDE_01_A-9444_e.png", "/titles/A-9444_e/CONNECT_GUIDE_02_A-9444_e.png", "/titles/A-9444_e/CONNECT_GUIDE_03_A-9444_e.png", "/titles/A-9444_e/CONNECT_GUIDE_04_A-9444_e.png" ],
"onecartridge_guides": [ "/titles/A-9444_e/ONECARTRIDGE_GUIDE_01_A-9444_e.png", "/titles/A-9444_e/ONECARTRIDGE_GUIDE_02_A-9444_e.png", "/titles/A-9444_e/ONECARTRIDGE_GUIDE_03_A-9444_e.png", "/titles/A-9444_e/ONECARTRIDGE_GUIDE_04_A-9444_e.png" ],
"anothertitle_guides": [ "/titles/A-3744_j/ANOTHERTITLE_A-3744_j_01_A-6971_j.png", "/titles/A-3744_j/ANOTHERTITLE_A-3744_j_02_A-6971_j.png", "/titles/A-3744_j/ANOTHERTITLE_A-3744_j_03_A-6971_j.png", "/titles/A-3744_j/ANOTHERTITLE_A-3744_j_04_A-6971_j.png", "/titles/A-3744_j/ANOTHERTITLE_A-3744_j_05_A-6971_j.png" ],

We obviously cant fit this in the normal UI in a strait-forward way. But there should be some way.

Most likely, a custom control… or editable ComboBox?

Control could probably just list how many images there are… at least for connect_guides and onecartridge_guides. But anothertitle_guides seems a little more complex. Interacting with the control could pop up a custom window for managing these I guess?

This isn't a huge priority, since its a option very few will use with custom game. Though… providing some template images myself… might make it better. But that is more something for the Presets Database stuff.

    This will require a custom window to support, but its of VERY little use to users with custom games. Thus its not currently worth the effort.

    I could maybe see reusing the option for something like... instruction booklet page scans. But as this is only supported by 1-2 of the 6 apps, its not something I would want to invest time into for that.
