[QUOTE="Skizzo, post: 2452914, member: 176246"] I'm with the other guy on not uploading customs, and if you'd bother to read the upload page, you'd see WiiTDB doesn't want them either, unless they've removed that 'rule' lately. I've had a cover or two that I had to make a custom for but it was nearly identical to the original (was from a pre-release cover on the publisher's website that was just missing a few details that I was able to paste in), but I PM'd zorglub07 first to get his input on whether I could/should upload it. One reason not to upload them is because some people who contribute won't take the time to actually check all the covers to see if they are customs and perhaps won't bother uploading a genuine retail cover they have if they see there already is a cover on the site. I didn't get to see your cover to judge how shitty it may or may not have been, but from your response it sounds like you didn't have much to work with so I'm guessing it wasn't too realistic. Another problem is, even if someone does spot that the cover is a custom and uploads a proper retail cover, the USB loaders won't know that, and the real cover will never get downloaded unless they regularly use the 'download all covers' which is a waste of bandwidth. It would be nice if the loaders implemented some sort of 'download different covers' using checksums or something but that hasn't happened. BTW, I don't know if you're aware of it or not, but Gamefly has front/back pics and lately I haven't seen the usual watermark on them. Granted they're only 350x500 (certainly good enough for a 512x340 full, assuming you make your own spine) but it's better than nothing and you can at least make your own customs for your own personal use. But again, I'd still prefer just to have a front cover on WiiTDB until the real deal is available for the reasons mentioned. [/QUOTE]
