Screenshots are loaded when you are browsing roms. I added a blurb on 
the mythgame howto
on the wiki about where to get screenshot packs. (look under general 
notes http://www.mythtv.info/moin.cgi/MythGameHowTo ). I dont know if 
there would be a good way to update your setup without breaking it (i 
dont have much experience with rpms) so i cant help you out there.
