Homebrew Cover Collections for Emulators With Cover Support

mastershoes · Jun 27, 2020

Alright everyone, today is the day!

HUGE UPDATES!!!!!!

#1 - ARCADE FLYERS - I have eliminated FBA & MAME sets, and now have one combined ARCADE FLYERS set. Also, it is Ginormous, coming in at over 1,000 covers! I have been working on these for a long time.

Just a few notes..

This set is intended to cover MAME 2003+, MAME 1.0 (ToadKing), and FBA. They are by default named to match the MAME 2003+ set. For those roms that are named differently between romsets, i have included a "dupes" folder.

The "dupes" folder contains duplicate covers with names that are different and compatible with either FBA or MAME 1.0 (Toadking). These are only the dupes I found when going through my personal collections, and I'm sure there are more. With these, i have eliminated having a separate cover folder for FBA and MAME, and Use one "ARCADE" folder for the both. As long as I include these dupes, everything from my other sets are covered and saves a lot of space.

There is also a folder included called "Not in MAME 2003+ Set". As far as I can tell, these games don't exist in MAME2003+, however they are available in either MAME 1.0 or FBA.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

#2 - CPS1 & CPS2 - I couldn't re-work the entire Arcade set without completely re-working these sets. Officially now complete and heavily upgraded! Also added in all .zip titles from all available romsets.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

#3 - OTHER NOTES - I removed the Individual download folders. Didn't really seem worth the effort to maintain those.

I hope you all enjoy these sets, and thanks to all who have contributed!

Nice, you even included the CPS1 version of Street Fighter Zero lol, good work.

Small mistake that I noticed, bubblbob2.zip.png is the cover of Rainbow Islands, and not the true sequel Bubble Bobble 2 of which that name corresponds in the romset

Cool, that was actually something I had asked for help with (not here) but couldn't get verification. That cover is in there twice, once under rainbow and one under bublbob2. I will fix it.

EDIT: Also, already started on next update lol. If anybody catches any more errors, please let me know!

Hey

What are the dimensions for Gameboy/Color/Advance box covers if 2D or 3D and placed into the covers folder not the boxcovers folder?

Thanks

gonefishing1975 · Jul 1, 2020

So I put my Gameboy flat 2d cover in covers/images, changed the ini file to point to it adjusted the size to 160 x224 and I still have no covers show up for 2d. If I use the full cover it works but I don't have all the full covers for all gameboy games

coverfolder=covers

if thats the case then your 2d flat covers go in dev:/wiiflow/covers/covers folder
and full 3d covers go in dev:/wiiflow/boxcovers/covers

so you set the line coverdir= to coverdir=GB ? correct?

160x224 is 2d wii covers. i have some gb color 2d covers and they are 515 x 458.

dont forget to do a reload cache.

edit: yes i mean coverfolder not coverdir.

So in the vbagx_gb.ini i have coverfolder=GB. Is this correct? Does the file size make or do they get converted?

Yes thats correct for coverfolder. Cover size should be a big deal.

Sorry If this is a Noob Question, I have the entire NES Rom set & I'm missing around 2000 box arts in WiiFlow. I made this in Photoshop and I want to replace this for the standard 'missing cover' obviously, in order to do that..
I would need to copy this 2000 times and rename this image matching every missing ROM. I have tried that with FuzzyRename making 2000 copies naming it the alphabet and numbers LMFAO It didn't pick it up.
Any ideas? Any software that could do this? It would just simply make WiiFlow look cleaner

- new way to handle the custom blank covers by Abz. blank covers now must go in wiiflow/boxcovers/blank_covers folder and must be named after their platform name via platform ini. they can also now be png or jpg.

OfficialRammy · Aug 22, 2020

I'm currently making missing box art in Photoshop for all the systems featured in @Tetsuo Shima's beautiful theme, as I'm making my way through them. I'll put them in a folder in G Drive when I've finished and post the link. Or If I'm able to, I'll post them here :wub:

Here's a NeoGeo Pocket Cover I just made.
