Custom covers for modded games

Is there a way to set different covers for an original game, and a mod (such as Gran Turismo 2+)?

I really dislike how covers applies to all games with the same serial.

Why Do the Graphics Become Blurry When Text is on Screen for Dragon Warrior 7 and Dragon Quest 4?

Hey everyone! Hopefully someone might have an answer for me, been scouring the net for answers all day.

There has been a recent translation for Dragon Quest 4 on the PS1 and I was excited to give it a go. However, when I booted the game up and started the main adventure, the text comes through crisp and clear, but the game world and the characters become really fuzzy and blurry. I thought that was weird and booted up Dragon Warrior 7 to see if the problem was the same since they both run on the same engine. Sure enough, the same problem occurred.

I ran though a few games that I could think of that had 3D worlds and 2D characters, or any other game I could think that it could be a problem. I tried Breath of Fire 3 and 4, Front Mission 2 and 3, Alundra, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Grandia, and Kowloon's Gate. No problem whatsoever.

Attached below are screenshots of what I'm talking about and the settings used on the graphics tab. I'm using the global settings for all games. Here are the specs on my PC that I'm using to run Duckstation:

Windows 11 Pro Ver. 25H2

Nvidia RTX 4060 8GB

32 GB GDDR5 RAM @ 4800 MT/s

12th Gen Intel Core i7 12700k @ 3.6 GHz

Duckstation is being run on an internal SSD. The BIOS used is scph5501. Thank you all in advance the the help.

EDIT: Duckstation is at version 0.1-12074.

New to duckstation. Trying to figure how to play a lightgun game

I was between using my galaxy s25+ since i figured the specs were more than enough or a cheap laptop with questionable specs. (Im not sure what they are. Its either good enough or isn't)

The game im trying to play is Resident Evil: Dead Aim. The US release of the game had the light gun support cut. So i either need to figure out how to get a patched version of that or just settle with the PAL version. (Advice not needed but appriciated) on the latest version of duckstation from the google play store

The main thing im trying to figure out is how to either use a mouse Either on the pc or a smart phone. Or use the touchscreen in order to recreate the guncon. I have seen the gun con settings in the app but not sure how to translate that into touch screen controlls. I don't mind plugging the phone into a dock and just using a keyboard and mouse if needed. I am willing to swap to a computer if that is better suited to the task of trying to play lightgun games

Black lines between polygons

I am trying to play Tomb Raider, and I have this issue where black lines appear between polygons of the environment. It's especially bad while moving. Was this in the original game or is this an emulation issue? I included my current settings in the screenshots.
