Homebrew Cover Collections - part 2

[RunningSnakes]

Here is the complete GBA set finished, 1170 covers in total.

I sent the oIginal uncompressed set to @AdamCatalyst earlier this week but have not heard back. So i optimized/compressed the set using Optipng and will host the set until Adam has some free time.

Link is now up on page 1. Thank You @AdamCatalyst

I'm currently working on updating the complete NES standard and shrunken spine sets. This is a whole new set and all the covers will be retailed, uniformed, cleaner, crispier, and HQ. So far I'm over 900 unique titles and 70ish alternates. I still got more to put together but I just wanted to give an update on this current project.
The covers I'm doing mainly are just the unlicensed titles, english translations, protos, and some rom hacks, so I should be done pretty soon. Unfortunately, no release time frame yet.

I created some missing covers for Doom mods/wads and quakes, see link below
I used images available on the internet and an advanced tool called Paint, so don´t expect much
Some of them are duplicated because I was struggling on how to name or where to save them, anyway you can delete the dups if you know which ones to keep
There are other miscelaneous covers too, the total number of files is 235

that is absolutely the next best thing, I'll definitely be taking you up on that offer; you're a lifesaver my friend.

My sincere apologies for taking so long. Life stuff… you know.

Here is my custom Photoshop Action that will take a 3366 x 2100 px image, and resize it for WiiFlow, complete with condensed spine.

Hit me up with any questions if you are having issues with this! I've only used it on Photoshop 2021–2023. It may work in older versions, as it doesn't use any cutting edge features. You could also probably adapt it to other resolutions etc, as you can go through, see what I did, edit it, etc.

Highly recommend this action for anyone who has been looking for vertical N64 covers, as it's pretty well the next best thing we could hope for.

It may require a bit more leg work than simply downloading the zip of all vertical N64 covers, but you can achieve pretty much the same effect. See attached example of a Majora's Mask cover resized with this action.

For anyone wondering, this action does work in Photopea as well for those who don't have Photoshop, although with slight modifications. There are instructions within the action that specify selecting the layer "Layer 0" before proceeding with the rest of the action, and because Photopea will sometimes default name the base layer to "Background" instead of "Layer 0" the program is faced with undefined steps that cannot be fulfilled if using the action as it is out of the box. It becomes necessary to edit the action; deleting the instructions that specify selecting "Layer 0" and replacing them instead with the instruction to "Select Layer Background." Just delete the old and record the new in the spot where the old was, and the action will now be able operate as it should.

Big thanks to AdamCatalyst for this boon.

Happy Resizing

Alt method for N64 vertical. Converted with ImageMagick.
The pack is not complete, it's missing some covers like Resident evil 2, some japanese covers.
It's not sorted/checked that much(late at night here). Maybe it can help.

Would also be great if anyone had assets for vertical versions of N64 that aren't hosted on The Cover Project, like the Mario Party games (1 through 3). They have a vertical variant of the PAL cover for Mario Party 1, but no vertical NTSC versions of any of them.

Kind of surprising, actually, since there's a very significant amount of games on there with custom vertical covers—even more obscure ones—so you'd think the Mario Party games would have them as well given their popularity

I have started a custom N64 vertical set. As of now, i want to complete the set in 1090 x 458, then most likely add Top & Bottom for the full 1090 x 680.

You will notice the spines have been cropped to remove the N64 logo and the the rest of the spine has been stretched. I really belive this still looks good, sometimes better imo.

There is so much quality N64 art available out there, but as we know, it is all horizontal.

This set will not be true to all NTSC releases since some PAL art i prefer and some PAL art is easier to manipulate for me. I am no expert at this but have gotten much better at using Photoshop.

Anyhow, this set should not take me much time to complete, it is adding the top/bottom where i have yet to decide what direction i will take, but there will be a N64 logo located on bottom center/spine.

I don´t want to sound boring, but I still did not get the custom blank covers working

I already tried copying then to to the blank_covers covers AND I also copied some blank covers to the respective boxcover folder (example SUPERNES.PNG in boxcovers/Nintendo/snes) also deleting the wcf cache. no success, it's still showing the generic blank cover

@locomia

The blank covers path is...

wiiflow/boxcovers/blank_covers

Inside the blank_covers folder, your files sould be named...
AMIGA.png
AMSTRAD.png
ATARI2600.png
GBA.png
MEGADRIVE.png
NES.png
etc...

Is this the way you have things set up?
