Homebrew Cover Collections for Emulators With Cover Support

[mightymuffy]

I noticed that quite a few of the covers in the ps1 collection are games that I haven't been able to successfully run. Have the games been tested before covers added? And if so, mind sharing how to get those games to work?

You'll also notice a job lot of Sega Saturn covers, plus the larger Neo Geo games, and various non-working N64 games for instance. Nice to have them there (hint:create dummy files to save space on non-working games - especially cd-based ones - if you want them to show [off to friends! ]), and who knows, maybe one day we might see them working (MAYBE...)!!

Yea it's just for the sake of completion, full sets and and what not. Not all games that have covers are working for PSOne, N64 and Neo-Geo ;-)

EDIT: Ninja'd

-Update 01-21-14: Added a "Miscellaneous Plugin" section at the bottom of the OP. It includes covers for nxengine, quake, prboom, and residualvm. Alot of them are covers I edited that were posted by sion_zaphod awhile back, and there are some that i made. All links are live, as always, have fun!

Here are some really retro covers for your amusement

Like the new HQ covers for the additional plugins, I had a few but these seem cleaned up and look better, plus several new ones, thanks guys!

Still working on my cover setups
Ughhh... it's so frustrating to know I already had all this done.. but at the very least I can say that not only is it more complete since I have more space, which is why it's taking longer btw, (getting new games, ISO's, learning how to use/setup ScummVM/DOSBox properly) but it's more organized and optimized since I've converted to JPG (I've saved between 70% - 80% space wise compared to PNG with no loss of quality). I tell you it's a labor of love... and really I freaking love it. Good thing is I have maybe 6-7 cover sets left I think.

mastershoes I was going though the thread recently making sure I had just about every cover contributed that I liked and I saw a few covers by sion_zaphod that didn't make it into the DOSBox cover d/load. Specifically the one's here, here and here. I really like his covers and was wondering if the reason u didn't include them is because the games don't work for DOSBox Wii or if u simply missed them in the titanic catalog of covers spread through the thread lol.

EDIT: TOW420 has recently made some SNES SMT covers and has graciously shared them with me. I wanted to post them here as well in case anyone is interested.

Repton and the other games do not work on dosboxwii. I tried to get them working inside a bbc emulator for dos but no luck. I actually got these games working by converting the SSD files (BBC disk images) to GBA using this emulator:- https://sites.google.com/site/gbaremakes/home/emulation . The conversions are not perfect but definitely playable until someone ports a BBC emulator to the wii.

Airball and Dizzy work fine in dosboxwii although airball is better on the atari st.

whoops I just realized that airball and Dizzy are included in the DOSBox pack, I'll have to edit my previous post. Also thanks for the tip on Repton and airball. Interesting conversion, glad it worked. If Wiimpathy is up for it maybe he'll make a BBC plugin, it's possible he's already tried and hasn't been able to get it working. He's the man when it comes to plugins.

I fixed the first link to go to the covers that are missing from the DOSBox d/load. Covers are Magic Pockets, Stargoose, Fantasy World Dizzy etc..

Done a few more SNES PAL covers, again mainly for games not yet done (plus Mario All-Stars! Sorry but the PAL box looked better if you ask me!)

Spoiler

(now in JPEG format)

Super Mario All-Stars PAL (did this a while back, hence PNG)

Edit (27/01/14) 2 new, 2 touched up:

Spoiler

Adventures of Mighty Max (new)

Cannon Fodder (touch up)

The Chaos Engine (new)

....gave up on this one as a bad job, will try and see if there's any better grabs to work with sometime...
Parodius (touch up - needed it too!)

Edit (28/01/14)
Done some PAL covers for me/friends/family - Castlevania IV, Killer Instinct, Magical Quest... don't think they're really good enough to chuck up here (if anyone wants, just ask!), but thought I'd whap this curio up:

Illusion of Time (EUR)


For our American friends, this is actually Illusion of Gaia for PAL territories, released by Nintendo themselves... suppose the art is nice and all, but WHY Nintendo, what's wrong with Gaia (the art for which looks better I might add). Perhaps Gaia means bollocks in Portugese or something ehh (we all know what Sega means in Italian!).... Anyway, 'twas requested by my kid bro as he played this instead of Gaia...

I was thinking about adding the "Only For Nintendo' logo to the Shin Megami Tensei I/II covers.. I know some people like the look (I am for one) and others prolly don't care to much for it. What do you guys think?
Shin Megami Tensei I/II for SNES

Spoiler

Shin Megami Tensei I - Only For Nintendo Alt

Shin Megami Tensei II - Only For Nintendo Alt

Since I brought us Fire Emblem 3 & 4 covers for SNES, why not do 5?
I believe it's the last one on SNES. <--Correct me if I'm wrong.

Spoiler

Fire Emblem 5 - Thracia 776 (USA)

Enjoy!

 

[ToddofWar420]

@mightymuffin, don't give up so easily bro! Try this..

Spoiler

The Chaos Engine (USA)

I just converted the cover to the USA template and just penciled in the random white spots.
I didn't use contrast adjuster or anything cuz I didn't want to taint the coloring any.
Hope this helps.

 

[mightymuffy]

Ohhh yes, super nice as per usual TOW! ....Might just sod it and use yours anyway hehe - cheers fella

 

[MassiveRican]

I like the look of "Only for Nintendo" as well although it's not necessarily true of the SMT games lol. Loving the FE-V cover man and that completes the set of games for SNES which makes it oh so nice to have full sets of games especially RPG wise for me

Good job too mighty muffy on what your providing, I hate to admit but I was a big Mighty Max fan back in the day and it brings me waaayy back! I used to have the toy sets, stages and everything and would fight my own little imaginary battles as a kid.. oh those days were so simple lol.
