Weird, it seemed like the symptoms of out of free memory.
So, all your games are showing without covers, and Wiiflow can't create wfc files.
Are the games launching correctly?
Where is your Wiiflow installed? SD or USB?
@fledge68 do you have any other clue?

Sorry, somewhat new here. Where do you put the source folder and makefile file?
You don't need the source, unless you want to compile it.

In the column to the right, the 2nd entry is 'Releases'. Click on the latest release (0.2), then under 'Assets' you can find the .zip file to download.

createcache is creating the .wfc files, I had to add the folders. the coverart still isn't showing. Could it be possible that I downloaded Plugin pack rev 4 but someone named it rev 5? I'm at a loss

Plugin pack 4 had some issues but not with covers. It could be something went not right during the setup process. Maybe you could try to do a fresh install of wiiflow + covers on a different medium, SD or USB. Then add the theme and the Plugins Pack one at a time, to see where is the issue.
Don't forget to select the correct partition and path for your covers, going to Settings (gear icon) page 4 -> Path Manager -> Box Covers.
Check also if you have 'Mount SD only' enabled or not in 'Startup Settings' (page 2), according to your setup

How do you return to the system menu from the hyperspin like menu?
You can't. Since Wiiflow 5.4.7, to exit Wiiflow you have to be in one of your coverflows, press the Home button and select Exit to --> System Menu.
The "hyperspin" and "emulation station" menus are the source menu, and pressing Home from there brings up the new "Source Menu Setup"

Hey, I am struggling to get game covers working. Everything else works fine, games boot, Wii games have their cover art, the database info is all there as it should, but none of my emulated games get cover art. I've been trying to mess with settings and reinstalling the theme all day and I just cannot work out what I did wrong. Would appreciate any help :)

There can be 2 possible reasons: wrong cover filename, or wrong path.
1 - The cover image must contain the rom extension + the .png extension
Example: Tetris.nes.png
2 - Check your plugins .ini files. What is the path of your coverfolder? The path you see is relative to wiiflow/boxcovers
Let's say in your Nes plugin .ini you have coverfolder=NES. Then, your Nes covers would go to wiiflow/boxcovers/NES

Finally, don't forget to reload the cache in wiiflow

Thank you! For some reason I thought the in app download feature would download covers for emulated games as well. I knew it was something obvious I was missing. Don't suppose you know any good places to get cover art pngs from?

Does anyone know how to change the directory for background images behind games. I created a new source menu button for mplayerce and when I open it the background image is the default (Vaper.png). I couldn't find a way to specify background image other than changing vapor.png.

You have to name the background image to MEDIA.png and put it in wiiflow/backgrounds/Rhapsodii Shima/

I am having a weird issue after redownloading shima theme. For some reason when I hit home button it no longer brings up source menu setup but instead takes me back to last screen view from source flow. Have you ever experienced this? I've tried v5.4.v1.3 and 5.4.7.v1

UPDATE: I figured it out I had also downloaded the wrong wiiflow_lite. I had v5.4.6 by mistake switching to v5.4.7 fixed this issue

I need help I keep trying to use wiiflow lite with rhapsodii shima but I am constantly getting exception dsi occurred until eventually it doesn't even load and I have to wipe sd card and start all over. Anybody else experienced this in the past and have a solution? I REALLY LIKE wiiflow_lite with rhapsodii shima and want to use it but I just can't get it work without encountering this error msg. I've tried forcing cios on start and deleting wiiflow save state on wii with no luck. I can post a system check if anyone is willing to take a look that would be amazing, I'm really desperate at this point.

weird, maybe an sd problem? can you try from scratch on a new sd with wiiflow 5.4.9 + rhapsodii shima 5.4.8?

Thanks for reply I'm gonna give that a shot, Also I forgot to mention I'm using a wii and a 5tb hard drive formatted to fat32, I know a few people are against using more than 2tbs. You think that may also be something to do with it.

Update:
I figured out that using my third party wii classic pro controller was to blame for at least some of the exception dsi errors so that's good news.
