To anyone interested. The Game Boy Classic custom set is up, 838 covers. You can download on 1st page of this thread. Enjoy!

@RunningSnakes this is the most understated launch announcement ever. Please remind me to never hire you as my hype man.

Let me try to get people's attention…

NEW!
IMPROVED!
GAMEBOY!

@RunningSnakes has completed a matching set for every Game Boy (classic) game ever!!!

Download it on the main page, or you are dead to me. Also, if you haven't already downloaded @ToddofWar420's epic SNES set, you are already dead to me, and are in fact cursed to walk this earth as a zombie. The only cure is to go download both sets, now. Why are you still reading this? Go to the first page on this post. Download the sets, remove the curse. This isn't complicated people. Do you want to be a zombie forever? No? Then you know what to do.

Would you mind to keep the download link to the previous (oginal) set 'cause people may want to decide which one they like more.

@RunningSnakes and I had already discussed this, and both agreed that it was best to keep the old set up as well. It's not going anywhere under out watch.

p.s. we did the same with Todd's set. I love the new stuff, but as long as I have the storage and & bandwidth, I like people to have the choice even more.

A few covers if you are interested.

ToddofWar420 · Oct 8, 2022

Hey guys,
I just wanted to take a moment to let everyone know I'm currently working on another much needed update for one of our beloved cover sets. Thanks for the support I really was needing from a trusted friend on here, I feel better letting everyone know it's coming very soon.
Every cover in this set will be updated, crispy clean, the spine titles centered, uniformed and corrected. This set is already looking beyond amazing. I got over 850 covers so far so it's not going to take 2 years like the SNES cover set did.
Also, I personally use these covers in my collection with over 170 titles sitting on shelves. Peep it yourself..

When I finish expanding and remodeling my game room, I can post a game room tour video somewhere and post the link here.

i've attempted to add nes and snes cover arts but they're not showing properly. any idea why?

I added them to /wiiflow/covers/{appropriate system folder} and made sure they were properly named.

Nice SNES covers!

WiiWare covers for Japan exclusives.

Ivy The Kiwi Mini
Phalanx
Pole's Big Adventure

They are not great but serve the purpose.

RunningSnakes · Oct 26, 2022

Here are 20 additional GBC covers. Most are Japan with a few fixes.

These are part of the GBC set i put together recently. Please dl these asap if you are interested, the link will be taken down soon.

Download link has been updated on first page. Thank you Adam.

Thanks for these covers. Here I made my shrunken versions, to comply with the Big Box format for PC games, used in my theme. The trick to do it is to start working with a spine of 119*680 pixels, then shrink it to 62*680 pixels.
Wiiflow will stretch the shrunken spine back to the correct proportions.

AdamCatalyst · Oct 28, 2022

Re: exporting covers with shrunk spines.

Awhile back I developed a method in Photoshop that makes beautifully, dare I say, pixel perfect shrunk spines for Wiiflow, for NES, SMD, SNES, N64 games, etc.. I have it saved as an Action so that it is fully automated, but it only works at a specific resolution that I use. I could upload the Photoshop action, and much more importantly, spend the time to write a tutorial on the methodology to make your own shrunk spine automation for any resolution. Please let me know if anyone is interested. I honestly have no idea if anyone even works in Photoshop anymore.

Hey guys.

I have started a GBA custom set with around 150 complete. Let me know how these look please.

RunningSnakes · Nov 4, 2022

GBA set is finished. Link on next page.

Added the Snes vertical set for wiiflow.

Do you think it would be possible to also add the vertical covers for the N64? I noticed in the original post there that the N64 had both a vertical and horizontal resource similar to the way the SNES did, but only the horizontal covers have been reuploaded

antoniotnt · Nov 23, 2022

Hello everyone is looking for the vertical cover pack for the N64, I tried searching in the various treads but I didn't find anything, even in the original tread for the covers but they have been removed. If anyone still has them can share them, thanks. I have vertical ones downloaded in this tread but I can't turn them in wiiflow, I have platform.ini and default.ini but I can't see them horizontally. Thank you

I also came across The Cover Project in my search for the elusive vertical N64 covers, but there seems to be several issues with them, chief of which being that they do not have the "shrunken spine" to display properly in WiiFlow. The downloads are also in larger dimensions, which would need to be manually resized, and at a cursory glance seem to also be in JPG format, and as I understand it PNG format is also the best for WiiFlow covers, though I could be mistaken.

It's not as though it's an altogether unusable resource, but some precise edits would need to be done to any given cover in order to prepare it for WiiFlow, and if there is a download resource that already exists for vertical N64 covers, which there definitely once was before it was removed, it would be much easier for anyone keen on using vertical N64s.

The great search continues

FYI I have a Photoshop Action that will take a Cover Project resolution file, and make a shrunk spine perfect PNG for Wiiflow in one click. If you work in Photoshop and want the Action, let me know! Actually, send me a PM, so I don;t miss it.

that is absolutely the next best thing, I'll definitely be taking you up on that offer; you're a lifesaver my friend.

Update for the GBA set i have been working on.

The set is 97% complete. I sent the set to Adam a few days ago with intentions of being complete, but have since decided to edit/improve some cart art to be more consistent.

I am also adding covers for many Japan games that are needed imo. Some of these front covers are not great, but it is very difficult, if not impossible to find.

Learning & improving as i continue, i think the set looks good and hope you do as well.

I should be completed sometime this weekend and hopefully the set will be available within the next week.
