You're using Wiiflow 5.4.1? Do you have a file called platform.ini in the wiiflow/plugins_data/ folder?
Open your source_menu.ini and post here the magic number you see in the SNES section

That's why it's not working. That version is extremely old, things have changed a lot from then, especially in the way it manages the different types of covers.
I suggest you to update to the latest wiiflow.


Updated and it works. I now have to find the right horizontal covers set for SNES and N64 as the ones I have are being displayed incorrectly

I'm glad you got it working. Unfortunately all the nintendo covers were removed from this thread but they will return soon in another thread.

Hi, when I try to download Turbografx and PS1 sets, Media Fire says the uploader has insufficient bandwidth for me to bulk download these folders. Can I donate to I think Master Shoes somewhere so he can increase his bandwidth and I can download? If I am understanding this wrong let me know.

Update: Drrr read through to the bottom of the page. I just paypaled $50 using the instructions on the first page. Hopefully this will open those back up for download... the others I had no problem with

@Oo_Ice_Deep_oO Thank you so much! Just added a ton of bandwidth with your contribution. Please try the downloads again. :)

Edit: - Are you downloading the folders of individual images? They are all included in the full .rar files.

Apparently it was user error, I tried to download full folder on the individual image section. Either way though, it was good, because it prompted me to support the work you guys do.

I run a related project that you guys may find useful:

https://www.coversdb.org/

Also wrote an app to manage/rename the covers (was not designed with these sets in mind, may need some modification. Will try it shortly.)

It contains game id/title databases for all supported systems as well.
