@Hakaisha Thanks! of course, you're welcome!!
@davidkun Ah ok, so you switch mode everytime. That can be a work around.
We could have one jewel case and one custom fds cover for that game.
Here is my platform.ini
And here is the part to add to the coverflow ini: (change it to your actual CD_CASE_number and remember to increase the number_of_modes by 1 as well)

Thank you for the template, @Tetsuo Shima . It looks great! I have made the custom cover for Hikaru Genji and uploaded it here:

hikaru-genji-fds-cover.png

I did an overall cleanup of the artwork, as it was quite dirty. Then took the different pieces of artwork from the front and back of the jewel case and rearranged them slightly to fit within the FDS size requirements, without stretching any of the artwork, so it looks as natural as possible.

The only image of the original jewel case spine I could find for reference was this one:

hikaru-genji-spine-example.png

I opted to go with the vertical orientation to match the other FDS covers, rather than the horizontal orientation found here. You may want to change it however, depending on what you prefer. ^_^

Hey

Is there anywhere to get any of the covers for all Nintendo systems now that the content has been removed? I need them for WiiFlow

Well the only way is to go and find them, sadly Nintendo tries to find places to cause uneeded distress in the community. Kind of a search and find now, people who were lucky enough to download it earlier could maybe

The nintendo covers will be back in a thread of their own. Stay tuned
@CoverBoy check if the coverfolder is correct in the nes plugin ini file.
Are the covers named correctly? eg 'gamename.nes.png' if you extracted the roms.
Did you reload cache?
@gonefishing1975 which version of Wiiflow are you using? They do appear like standard wii games?
