Yeah, I've had to upgrade to a MF Pro account about 3 years ago. I have about 265gb worth of files hosted there (35,000 files), and since there's sooo many downloads (435,016 since January 20th 2012) my bandwidth gets burned up. Thankfully, about 2 years ago it got waaaaaaay cheaper for added bandwidth & hosting, but still costs me money. I know I have other options (multiple accounts / hosts, etc) but honestly, if i didn't have the convenience and peace of mind of the pro account (love not having to worry about non-downloaded files getting deleted as well as some other convenient perks) I may have given up on this project out of frustration. I started using adfly about 3 months ago when i hit kind of a financial situation (trying to cut down on unneeded expenses and such) and so far has brought in about 5 bucks a month, which saves me about a 1/3 of the cost. I was thinking of adding a donate button the other day, but i'm not sure if it's allowed.. also i'm sure it'd be few 'n far between, but anything would help to recoup expenses. Either way, I'll keep supporting it. I don't want to watch all this work die, not while people are still enjoying it. Long live Wii Homebrew!!

Hello! I'm new.

I'm adding covers to WiiFlow so I can use WiiFlow to browse all of my roms and go straight to the emulators.

Now that I've gotten covers to appear, I realized I must have downloaded wrong sets, or that my theme (Carbonik) is screwing something up, or some combination of the two. My SNES covers, for example, are for a horizontal game box, but sometimes Wiiflow tries to stretch it into a vertical box (like a DVD). Same problem for N64, and the opposite problem for NES (which are supposed to be vertical, but get squeezed to horizontal).

It's entirely possible that I downloaded the wrong PNGs set, or that I haven't configured an INI correctly, but I'm not really sure what the right combination is, and I suspect someone else has already figured this stuff out...

Using your wiimote press either the 1 or 2 buttons to cycle through the different flows, shouldn't be too long until you find the one you're looking for on Carbonik (or better still, Carbonik Abz) Once you've found the right one it should save for you...

Update 02-23-15:

ModdingBird has sent me even more updates for both the custom TG16/PCE and TGCD/PCECD/TurboDuo sets, thanks bud!

This update includes:

TG16/PCE - 34 New, 2 Cleaned/Updated, and 7 New Alts.
*Note that "Maerchen Maze (USA)" is in both the"New" and "Cleaned/Updated" folders. I should have merged the "Cleaned/Updated" one into the "New" set before the update, but forgot to do so.
TGCD/PCECD/TurboDuo - 39 New, and 7 New Alts.

Individual DL folders and all-inclusive .rars have been updated, there is a folder/.rar of todays update located in the Individual DL folders. Have fun!

Ooo me old Bomberman 4 & 5 covers....! Was about to post saying how old these were and here's an update, but I've just looked at my SFC update and they're hardly any better!!
Will chuck em up for the lad that wanted them anyway - changed 5 a bit but it's hardly any better looking at it... I see the bloke that wanted them is German so will upload the PAL versions of 1, 2 & 3 too... dunno if I did those or not though :lol:, pretty sure I did either 2 or 3, or both (or neither!!)....

PAL 1, 2, 3:

Mickey & Donald 3 though, well well! That's surprisingly missing in action isn't it..... might have a do with that actually, not done a cover for ages, fancy a challenge!! I'll have a nosey later and see if I can come up with anything... be warned though, it'll probably be in the PAL-style Super Famicom format I made coz I'm an arse, etc....:lol:

EDIT: Done a Mickey & Donald cover.... rather difficult to get any decent scans actually, certainly getting the GBA version covered up would've been easier: I was even tempted to use images from that instead due to the decidedly low Q stuff I found, but the result wasn't too bad....

Stuck with the background colour mainly used on the SFC box (was tempted to use the blue found on PAL Magical Quest though), and like I say the image quality is low.... But thanks, you may have got me hooked again!! Already noticed some Bomberman 4 & 5 images I can work with to improve my previous attempts, just might have a do at those next!
