Just curious, why was it decided to go with gameboy style spines (thickness, fancy title art) over the actual cd case spines for PS 1 covers?

The spine part was done cuz a good starting template was using the Game Boy. I like using it cuz it helps towards making the spine's game logo and adds more room for customizing. (FF1-9 for an example) Also if you have a cd case that can hold 8 cd's you could print them out and use them that way. One example I could point out is a seller on ebay, he uses these when making game boy cases. (I used to buy from him until I started printing my own covers) Over all, it's just looks and feels better!

Some of those I think you may want to recheck cuz I'm 100% sure they're in the set.
For an example, I see StarTropics II - Zoda's Revenge. Try looking under Zoda's Revenge - StarTropics II (USA)

OK, I did miss Zoda's Revenge, but I did a search for the one's I was missing within that directory of pictures, and the others did not come up.

Damn yet another update more than doubling the previous count, great job guys. Back to work on Atari then lol.

Nice job on finding those Vectrex Overlays MS, I had found 34 myself, I didn't think anyone else was particularly interested in having them. I should've shared lol.

Alright guys, so since I just did a crap ton of SNES covers for the next update coming soon, I thought I would get a jump on the next update I want to bring to the table - Game Boy. So far it looks to be a mix this time around. Anyways, here is a few I got done and (trust me) I got a ton more coming. My focus is to get some old covers cleaned/ updated while bringing in some new titles as well. But we're gonna have a few more alternates then usual this time around and your gonna will see why. I also included a updated cover as what you can expect the rest to look like as well and also 1 new title that's still fresh.
First, I replaced some of the spines made by TyrannicalFascist @ tcp. Here are the spine previews.
I also did a bit of cleaning too. Full covers found in download link.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Donkey Kong Country/ Land:

Full cover link:

An updated sample cover I did:
Metroid II - Return of Samus - Old one is PAL
14j9s1k.png

Last but not least, 1 new cover:
Tiny Toon Adventures - Wacky Sports

That concludes the Tiny Toon Adventures series on GB.
Even the spines line up great.

More to come later.

More spine alternates made by TyrannicalFascist @ tcp.
Because how WiiFlow displays the game titles, I had to rearrange the characters to match that of the order which it appears on the coverflow. All covers have been cleaned and updated to better quality images, some with custom front covers. The regular retail covers have been cleaned too, but are not included in this pack. http://www.mediafire.com/download/yvbc9m5bfnhl1aj/Mario+GBA+New+Spines.zip[/spoiler]

Hope you enjoy!

I am a little confused. Do they go in a folder after the Cover folder or the Boxart folder?

According to the Wiki, I should drop your images into a folder called "jzintvwii" which sits in the directory tree after one of the above.
I tried both, made sure my roms shared the same names as the images, and I'm seeing nothing.

Did I over look something?

Thanks in advance and thanks for all the hard work!

Correct folder would be boxcovers/jzintvwii. Make sure you add the rom extension to the image. (ex - ABPA Backgammon (1978) (Mattel).int)

Thank you, I tried and nothing changed. Here's what I have:

ROM name. Burger Time.int

PNG name: Burger Time.int

All the PNG images are in the jzintvwii folder inside "boxcovers".

XDel - best place to start is probably to double check your plugin.ini file and verify the folder locations.

@everyoneelse

Dos_no_back_cover
It's a pack of about 220 covers. They don't have a back (well a black one), only front and the name written on spine.
The text can be cut off or misplaced. If someone wants to improve or create some full covers...
