Hacking Anyone running bagplug?

I need some help getting things setup. I tried to set up covers, but they aren't showing up.

 

[CalebW]

What does your system files look like?

 

[drakorex]

CoverArt.ini


#path to folder with covers
folder = /_bagui/coverart/nds
#image type
type = png

I copied the example exactly, put it in the same folder as my ds games, put the cover art in the right spot. Cover is for NSMB, named A2DE. It's a png, made a little smaller than the favorites background.

Did you make sure that the png images have the same file name as the nds files?

Out of the readme

[Game Covers] 
- 16 bit and 24 bit bitmaps, or any format of png file supported. Transparency effects will not be used for performance purposes 
- can be any size as long as it fits on screen 
- can be either png or bmp files 
[B]- must be named exactly the same as the game file including the file extension (see note below for commercial roms) [/B]
[B]-CoverArt.ini file can be present in the same directory as the media/game files (it has a higher priority over global settings) or [/B]
[B]a global CoverArt.ini file can be used in /_bagui/user files/ [/B]
 
ini file example: 
********************** 
[file extension] -file extension must be replaced with the file type you wish to add covers for 
#path to folder with covers 
folder = /_bagui/cover art/nds 
#image type 
type = png 
********************** 
[B]*Commercial NDS roms use the game ID for covers and do not need the file extension in the title of the cover file. [/B]

So for homebrew roms it would be: Homebrew.nds.png
And for Com. roms it would be: Commercial.png(I think...I don't have covers for com. roms...)

 

[drakorex]

It says for commercial roms you have to use the game ID. So New super mario bros would be A2DE.

Could someone who has covers working please help me?

 

[CalebW]

Is it named "A2DE" or "A2DE.png"?

 

[drakorex]

A2DE but it's a png file. Are you saying I need to name it A2DE.png.png??

 

[CalebW]

No, I was talking about the full file name, I didn't know if you had included the ".png" at the end..

Xexyz was just recently having that same problem. Give this a read, it may help.

I had this set up on my DSTWO, but it just made the menu laggy and wasn't really worth the trouble.
