        Hi,

        Your question is not clear.

        What exactly do you want to create ?
        What did you currently implemented ?

            ubernes

            Do you mean you want to implement a NES emulator ?

                    Hi
                    You can use an listview in icon mode to show image, name etc.

                              well you can use a dropbox for selecting it and
                              draw a preview in a other frame etc.
                              and if you need a grid of images, then listview icon mode still should
                              work ok.

                                        Maybe you can use http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmovie.html
                                        if the previews are simple enough.
