[luck_gh0st]

@luck_gh0st - Thanks for sharing a few covers man, but could I ask you to PLEASE enclose them in spoiler tags? Thanks.

@mastershoes - FU and your spoiler tags! No just kidding, consider it done. Sorry I was in a hurry. I used a few of your covers but I didn't have very many of those games.
and if anyone finds a FULL cover for Flight of the Amazon Queen feel free to post it. I could probably make one but I'm too lazy today. It's been a crazy day for me

@Maxternal - Thanx for the themes link!

I was using a theme called BlackWii which i believe is updated....yesterday switched to Orchid-m just to check it out N it seems covers R not "Spilling" over anymore at least Nes,N64
Only other set which "Spills" over is Snes

The themes that have the "-m" at the end have [member='mastershoes']' emuflows in them which have boxes sized to be match his covers and the source menu settings. Some of the newer ones like BlackWii, WhiteWii, [member='jiiwah']'s official ones, etc, (unfortunately) DON'T. I think they mostly leave the spine size the same as the Wii games and therefore even the square boxes end up being more like DS boxes than GB ones so that might be where the problem lies.

Not too sure about that. I tried fiddling with the coverflow settings, and adjusting the spine only stretches the spine image. You can't stretch the spine and have it suddenly match up with a too wide spine image. If that makes sense.

I too am miffed about the shrunken spine sets. I downloaded the snes covers and they still spill over.

hey drak, the set i'm talking about with mmh isn't posted anywhere. I had sent him a link to a couple of my personal sets with "shrunken" spines. I'm hesitant to upload those sets at the moment, as things are still changing a lot. Although with the recent jpg support added, if i do upload them i'll convert them, at least it'll take up half the bandwidth!

Um, perhaps you might think about revising the update so that other users don't make the same mistake?

 

[mastershoes]

@drak - revise which update? There's nothing posted in the op update about shrunken spines.. just that i aligned them all. Am I missing something?

 

[drakorex]

Well, I thought the mention of the shrunken spines applied to what could be downloaded, that's all. Would it be too much of me to ask for you to let me have the ones that you aligned? If so, I understand.

 

[corey89]

Is there any particular reason why the box dimension issue hasn't been fixed yet? Is it just hard to code properly for the Wiiflow guys?

 

[mastershoes]

@mastershoes - In your NES fullcover set the cover labeled for rocketeer is actually the cover for rocket ranger. Also the cover for conan is actually the cover for contra just labeled conan. Thanks for all the hard work on these. It is appreciated. I will be going through the snes sets next. Will let you know if I find any errors.

These actually were corrected in the second update i believe.. i caught those two right after the first release, but i appreciate you're looking out!

Should i be able to download covers from Wiiflow mod, for emulated games? It looks like it's trying, but it doesn't find any covers.

wii, gc games yes you can download covers and i believe vc\wiiware but not sure on those.
emulated games, in good time sir you have to manually do them right now.

[member='mastershoes'] said this at the beginning of this thread.

* *Updated Important Announcement * *

-There's a lot of tweaking going on to these sets right now. They are all getting prepped for upload to gametdb.com. A lot of work has been done, and covers added since these current uploads. I will eventually update all these links, but as everything is constantly changing right now, i feel it best to hold off. I will also continue to support Deakphreak and http://SpiffyCovers.com to host retro covers. I will be sending him all the updated files as well, as soon as I get a few more sets completed. As far as I know, spiffycovers will serve as a download back-up to gametdb, which will be nice. It will also (like gametdb) be a place where you can download single as well as multiple covers, if you don't want to download the entire set.

-Don't forget to check the updates list! This thread is sometimes updated twice a day, you never know whats new!
-This thread is now split into two sections, the first for "Full EmuFlow Covers", and the second for "Cover Collections for Emulators with Cover Support."
-If you'd like to contribute any missing, fixed, or alternate artwork, just post it here in this thread and I will periodically update the sets!
-If you happen to notice any errors with these sets, please inform me and I'll correct them!

Awesomeness!! Thanks bro

How do I get covers working with the Post Loader emulator page? I have n64 emulators and the cover pack, and I've tried every combination of file name and folder location I can think of.

For postloader, just download the 2D sets, match them up with the rom names (no extension's like ".v64" are necessary at this point) and drop them in the root/postloader/covers.emu.

I'm currently trying to get Atari2600 plugin to work and so far it's been a no go. Can Wiiflow play Atari2600 roms or am I doing something wrong?? Here's a copy of my .ini file if it can help:

[PLUGIN]
magic=57493644
coverColor=ffffff
coverFolder=Atari2600
Types=.bin
romDir=wiiflow/plugins/2600/roms
dolFile=wiimednafen-mod3.dol
bannerSound=
displayname=Atari2600
ReturnLoader=yes
consoleCoverID=atari2600

Wiimednafen does not support atari. There is currently no support for it through wiiflow.

you need to use the id in the ini that looks like this

ex - [sq5]

no brackets, no extension. in this case the file would just be sq5.png

 

[halen]

Thanks mastershoes!!!! Works like a charm!!!

 

[halen]

Ok next step!!! SEGA CD is working in genplusgx. Well i put each iso de segacd (iso and mp3 files) in folders same way of Scummvm. Well how i setup the covers? The isos are in diferrent folders and i dont have a file with games id.
