Could you try again? If you're still having problems, please give me a couple specific links that aren't working for you.
All the Shrunken Spine / Recommended for WiiFlow! links.. NES, SNES, 64, ...
I get the Adfly wait page. then "Sorry, but the requested page was not found!"

Hey Guys, sorry it's been a good minute since I last was on here some years ago. I just wanted to say that this still has to be the best forum site to get the best covers all in one place.
To Mastershoes and all the cover crew, Thank you for all your time and efforts putting this collection together and keeping it growing.. You guys are still awesome!!
Just to be quick tho, these covers look amazing on the NES Classic Edition with usb mod.

You can still find me making covers on tcp that have passed or in the forums under RetroGamer84. So I've never been completely gone

new to all of this, could anyone tell me what folder the covers go into for wii2600 and wii7800. thanks

Look at your .ini files for wii2600 and wii7800. Look for coverfolder= and that is your folder location. The default is wiiflow/boxcovers/
In this case below, covers would go into wiiflow/boxcovers/hatari

[PLUGIN]
displayname=Hatari
magic=48415441
coverfolder=hatari
dolfile=hatari.dol
romdir=hatari/fd
filetypes=.zip|.st|.stx|.msa|.dim
consolecoverid=atari
covercolor=ffffff
bannersound=
arguments={device}:/{path}/{name}

Sorry, I don't understand your question. Wiiflow is made to display covers to launch games, so I don't see how a wiiflow plugin could not work in this way

Hi there! Thanks for this masterpiece of work!.

Have a question for mastershoes, may i use your covers to match the requirements to the Twilight Menu++ from Robz8?

I'll have to cut, resize and export in .bmp format but that's not a problem, i'll take the time to do it. I'll start with the GameBoy (Advance?) Collection and end with the NES one because for the moment only these emulators are supported.
Of course credits and link to this post will be provided.

Thanks in advance for answering, btw i'm french so sorry for bad grammar and co... :shy:

Hi @mastershoes I woud like to make some missing covers for the sg1000 set.
I noticed that unlike the other sets, the sg1000 covers are 1053px wide.
Can you tell me what is the correct value for the shrunken spine's width?
I tried with 53, 60 and 90 pixels but none of them seemed to be ok

I'll look into it. My guess is either 77 or 80. I just grabbed my folders of the harddrive, but don't have time right now. The blue set was one of my first ever, and I don't have my original template. The black 1053 set was made be @sion_zaphod so I don't have a template for that either. Which of the sets are you trying to add to? Also, this isn't really a "shrunken spine" set, it's a one size fits all set like the 1024's (Standard Wii cover). The shrunken spine sets are a macro that shrink the oversized standard spines that are too big for wiiflow's hardcoded box template to be able to be "re-stretched" out with the emuflows to try and maintain a better aspect ratio. I'm sure you know most of this, but if anyone else is reading maybe it'll add some clarity.
