Cover art shows for network games but not HDD

I have installed some games on my network drive and some on the internal HDD (sorting them by which ones have fmvs that will stutter over the network).
I have on my network drive a folder called ART and in that folder i have covers for all the games but the covers only show for games on the network drive and not the ones on the internal HDD. Can someone point me in the right direction or tell me what Im doing wrong.

Each game storage medium works independently of the others. So in order to show cover art for the games on HDD that art has to be properly stored on the HDD.

'Properly stored' here means that you should use a partition named "+OPL" (the '+' is a mandatory prefix for 'user type' partitions).
And in that partition you can then store folders for various purposes just like you would in the PS2SMB fileshare for network games.

So in the "+OPL" partition on my own "hdd0:" drive I have folders named "ART", "VMC", "THM" (but if your network list is default list, those themes will be used for all), just like you would have in a PS2SMB fileshare. (But no CD or DVD folders, as HDD games are installed by the HDL methods.)
