Update 09-04-14:

Got rid of the old mess of a TG16 set, and added the new one that is the combined works of TCP artists BadChad & Ectophase (& maybe a few others) who had covered about half the set, and sion_zaphod who built the other half off their template. This set should cover all the USA roms. It also is a perfect match to the TGCD DVD set, so the continuity is great if you combine your TG16/TGCD plugins in wiiflow. No Update folder, as this is all brand new. Links are live! Huge thanks again to sion_zaphod for this awesome contribution!

The next update will be a a fully updated Atari 7800 set. I've been combining art from the original set, some recent edits from sion_zaphod, and a lot from some TCP covers I found a little while back. sion_zaphod and I have also made a bunch of new homebrew/proto covers as well. This will also be a full update from scratch, as there figures to be only about 4 or 5 covers that haven't been improved.

...'til next time...

mastershoes Just an observation, but why are there so many more different links for Sega Genesis than everything else? It makes it a little confusing trying to decide what I need.

Seems like the master set has way fewer covers than the others put together though. (big size difference) Why not just have them all in a couple downloads instead of 10 different ones. Not whining or anything, just noticing this difference between genesis and everything else.

The master set just doesn't have as many European covers of the same games that's all. I prefer NTSC so unless you want European covers the master set is going to provide you with everything you need including European only game covers.

Indeed! Trust me, as a EU Megadrive owner I very much prefer those boxes over the 'Genesis' ones (the very reason I made those EU SNES covers...) so the Master set is great: I've got all MD, then went for the Jap MD for other roms, and used the Genesis ones as a last resort.

Got some Colecovision covers ready soon - all new ones, gonna do 2 more in a few (unless the missus mithers [bothers in US english] me about something :lol: ) and will edit this post... 23 in total, may have a look at some more but having the usual rest after that (read: couple of days off then switching to another console!)

EDIT: Not getting anything from FileTrip uploading, will try again tomorrow....

Update 09-07-14:

2 updates today!

First off, as mentioned, a full revamp of the Atari 7800 set! The old set was 62 covers, this one has 86! All but 9 covers from the old set have been improved, and all no-intro roms (besides "Baseball (Europe)" which is a duplicate of "Pete Rose Baseball (USA)" I believe) have been covered. A bunch of homebrew covers have been added as well. This effort was the combined works of TCP, sion_zaphod, and myself. Hope you enjoy them!

Secondly, I got sion_zaphod's Atari XEGS set added today. It contains 33 covers. Dig 'em, thanks buddeh!

All links and folders are live / have been updated. Have fun flowin'! :)

Right, we're up and running today!

23 Colecovision covers, all new ones if you've got mastershoes set, generally not in the Australian style (off the top of my head only Venture is)
LINK
(18Mb)

There's still more that I'd like to do, but I've yet to find good scans of those - will have a nosey round for those sometime, but taking the usual 2 day break now :lol:
(as always ms, feel free to add/edit, etc, if you like)

EDIT: FileTrip still a bit slow at the mo....

Shoes: I need Wiiflow Source Menu Button: Atari Xegs, Super Famicom, Sega 32x.

XE I just bung in with the 5200 & XL etc, but fair point.
SFC - ...wut? Each to their own, but aren't those best bunged in with the rest of the SNES games?
32X - ORLY? :lol: - Have you made a fake plugin or have I missed some good (-ish, I can't see the Wii managing 100% 32X emulation at all) news? I can't poke the finger if it's just a fake plugin, I've used all mastershoes Saturn covers and just made fake 1KB iso files!

....Theoretically what's stopping me from chucking PS4 and Xbox One 'emulators' and covers on - could be a funny joke to make on my kids! Like the time I did the goldfish/slice of carrot trick on them hehe.....
Sorry I've gone really silly towards the end of this post haven't I - been a long day at work! :lol:

Okeedokee :)

Here's what I have already setup for the next update:
I have 2 versions of 32x done already, as well as Dreamcast, an alt for Final Burn Alpha, and an alt for CPS (I recently combined CPS1 & CPS2 in my source menu, so i made one that doesn't specify "1" or "2", it's just "Capcom Play System"). Also I recently combined prboom, nxengine, & tyrquake in my source menu, so i made a combination button for Doom, Cave Story, and Quake. Also I adjusted the jaguar button.

Atari XEGS - HA! I literally download some source images last night to make this. :) I'll include Super Famicom in the next update as well. Anything else?

Edit: mightymuffy - I also have my 800, 5200, XE, etc. all together just using the Atari 800/XL/XE/5200 button. I'm out of room to split 'em! And just for shits 'n giggle I have 32x and Dreamcast setup too. Why? Pretty much because I have every single cover posted in this thread setup on the 'flow. I really have no hopes of playing either on the wii ever, unless of course Eke-Eke goes on a rampage. I wouldn't put anything past that cat if he were ever motivated enough to do it.

You have Dreamcast covers?? If so plz up 'em.
We may not be able to play them now or ever, but as a rom collector, it would be a nice treat to see the games in 'flow.

I'll get to it sooner or later bud. I still have to sort, re-name, & edit more than half the covers. It's on the list, but kinda at low priority at the moment.

Edit: halen Here's what I got so far for the next SM Button Update.
