Hello

First of all, I would like to congratulate all those involved for the great work with cover arts!
Can anybody help me? I can not access the links, it's just the AdFly link protector.

Thanks!

Yes, there work is Fantastic! The majority of these sets templates come from HS. I just re-size them for use with Wii, then make my own photoshop templates to add-on to the sets. I've been adding as many Jap, Eur, Brazil, etc, titles as I can. If anyone out there wants to assist me & the ongoing expansion of any of these sets, send me a PM, or post your covers in this thread!

And just an FYI, just added a bunch more cover sets! Some of them may not be able to be put to use right away, but down the line, who knows?

Mate which app do you have to resize the covers? I have some of my own and i want to make a bulk conversion.

Hi @mastershoes

All of the adf.ly links seem to be redirecting to a malicious look-alike site with gloyah.net as the URL.

I'm looking for a download link to the following systems for WiiFlow, if possible:

NES
SNES
Genesis
Gameboy
Gameboy Color
Gameboy Advance
N64
PS1

Thank you!

EDIT: I had to update some settings, everything should be working now. @mrlespaulman Please try again. :)

Update 07-24-19:

Added a complete Wonderswan Color set, and also upgraded the Wonderswan set!

This took forever, as the majority of the cleanest art i could find were photos from ebay. Lot's of cropping, skewing, and cleaning on these. There are still 3 covers in each set that I can't find a back for, and a handful that could use an upgrade, but overall they turned out pretty decent. Also, in the WSC set, there are a few covers with alternate backs. I wish I could have done them all that way, as it better maintains the aspect ratio, but due to background images on the majority of the back covers, it would also be kind of a mess. Anyway.. thanks again also to RetroNi for the majority of the spine logo's, and also to diskmach@wordpress from whom i used some front covers.

List of covers that still need backs:

WonderSwan - Hanafuda Shiyouyo, Metakomi Theraphy - Nee Kiite!, and Slither Link.
WSC - Digimon - Anode Tamer & Cathode Tamer (Asia), Kurupara!, and Tonpuusou.

Hope you guys enjoy these, have fun! :)

Hello, excuse me my English, I wanted to know if there is any pack of GAME CUBE covers, since Nintendont works as an emulator, I wanted to know if there is any pack complete with all GameCube covers in Pal Y Ntsc. I have seen some pack in 2d and 3d, but I have not seen any Full Cover. If anyone has it I would be very grateful if I could share it. Thank you all and forgive my English.

I tried these on my modded Wii but they don’t appear even after renaming them to match the rom file. I’m not using wiiflow, just the emulator and a forwarder. Do these need to be resized?
Does the emulator your using support covers? I know wii2600 doesn't. My retroarch setup for wii is still like 1.2.2 or something, so i'm not sure if they implemented cover support for the wii or not. I have a recent version of retro on my WiiU, and I know that supports covers.

Thank you for these. I'm a bit curious why where are all square when the actual boxes were rectangle.
I made the set using LumberJack42@TCP's template, which happens to be square, lol. You could just use a normal size coverflow (if you're using them for wiiflow) to display them rectangular (albiet a bit stretched).

Yeah it seems that all covers for handhelds consoles are based on square templates like the gameboy games. But in most of the cases they are not faithful to the originals: atari lynx, wonder swan and game gear covers were all rectangular. So we can say that they're all custom covers. Not a big deal for me, it would be a really long work to redo all these sets for accuracy.

Yea I’m using wii2600 and I resized one in photoshop and it worked. I guess I’ll have to do this for all the covers. If anyone is still interested in having these covers on the Wii without using wiiflow, I’ll have these available once all resized and tested.

I have all of those rectangular covers but they are only the fronts.
