Hacking Wiiflow 5.4.8 - missing Icons for Computers, PC engine etc..

[Tengugurl]

Hi!
Downloaded the latest v5.4.8 of Wiiflow Lite and all looks great.
I noticed that there are .ini files for the Computer emulators (Example: Amiga) and the Masterpack that I downloaded has the matching emulators for the respective Computers

Yet...
I am unable to see them in the list of available consoles by category.
(Aka I have used an older version of Rhapsodii Shima in the past and was able to see the emulator icons. (Again I see I have the plugins/images for these emulators)

I know I am missing something small, any ideas? *How does one add missing emulator icons into their respective categories? (Aka add PC Engine to the consoles or Amiga to Computers)

Oh and also,
Silly question, I looked at the .ini files for the romdir (Rom directories) for some of these emulators and I am able to get some roms to show but, is there a best practice around adding a USB\Root?
Aka Roms folder would it be like

[PLUGIN]
arguments=-fs|-default-machine|cocous|-joy-left|joy0|-run|{device}:/{path}/{name}
bannersound=
consolecoverid=
covercolor=ffffff
coverfolder=TANDY
displayname=Tandy CoCo 1/2
dolfile=dragoncoco.dol
filetypes=.vdk|.rom|.cas|.bin|.dsk|.ccc|.zip
magic=434f434f
romdir=ROMS/TANDY

or


[PLUGIN]
arguments=-fs|-default-machine|cocous|-joy-left|joy0|-run|{device}:/{path}/{name}
bannersound=
consolecoverid=
covercolor=ffffff
coverfolder=TANDY
displayname=Tandy CoCo 1/2
dolfile=dragoncoco.dol
filetypes=.vdk|.rom|.cas|.bin|.dsk|.ccc|.zip
magic=434f434f
romdir=USB1/ROMS/TANDY

Figured it out.
Edit the source_menu.ini make sure to match the magic IDs to the inis in the plugins folder in wiiflow and you will be set.

Happy that you sorted it out. Take into consideration to use the Plugins Pack (link in my sign) instead of the outdated Masterpiece pack

is there a best practice around adding a USB\Root?

romdir=ROMS/TANDY
rompartition=1

This last line tells Wiiflow to look for ROMS/TANDY into USB.
rompartition=0 is SD
rompartition=-1 is the default partition you've set in Wiiflow settings.

Oh nice! Thanks I got all the games loaded quite nicely.

Question,
I am trying to match the covers now for each game and I have them all pointing to the box covers respective folders for each plugin via their respective .ini files.

A few consoles are working quite nicely and the majority aren't, I am assuming they need to be a 1 for 1 name match. (gotta love how some roms are like. "Game_title (U) 1f (clean dump) Md"
In their naming conventions.

Is there a best practice to match the names of the covers?

I have read elsewhere you must name something like this:

Game_title.png must be like game_title.n64.png
Is that the case?

Also, I have seen a tool called fuzzy renamer?

Thanks again!
So glad that you were able to reply + omg it's so gorgeous! I really love this UI.

yes. basically if your game is named 'abc.xyz' then your cover has to be 'abc.xyz.png'
I hateit too when the roms have all that info in the filenames. I spend more time renaming the roms than actually playing.
I'm not on windows so I've never used fuzzy renamer. I use thunar bulk rename for that
