Homebrew BAGPlug (SCDS2 Entry)

Alright so do the pngs for the covers have to match the game NAME or the ID, because out of the pack they come as IDs.

They have to match the ID, so these from the pack are allright.

alright so I've just tried using the Pokemon Black cover with my Pokemon game, it doesn't load up.. Is there a setting I'm missing?

 

[nathancnc]

Black ID is IRBO
White ID is IRAO

As long as the box art's name is the games ID, it will work. The pack has them named correctly, I just substituted the with the NA boxat, as the y both have the same ID.

 

[Zaertix]

Yeah I'm aware of the IDs and what not, I've tried to work it out, but it isn't working for me.

Do you have a CoverArt.ini in your game folder? If not, create a text file with this content and save it as CoverArt.ini and put it in your game folder.

[Cover Art]
#path to folder with covers
folder = /_bagui/covers/nds
#image type
type = png

Maybe you need to change the folder value to your cover path.

Did you name the covers the game ID and not the ROM's name?

 

[Zaertix]

I've tried both. I have the directories all done right, I've even renamed them to be sure. It's just not working.

Someone break it down for me step by step if it isn't too hard just to be sure I didn't miss anything.

(The instructions are so dead grammatically, I can't even bear to make sense of them)

alright so you have already made the very same place as the roms (ex: /NDS/CoverArt.ini)
It looks just like this
CODE[Cover Art]
#path to folder with covers
folder = /_bagui/covers/nds
#image type
type = png

To break it down more, in the /_bagui you created a folder called Covers, it was not provided, you need to create it, then created a folder called NDS.
Now you need to download the covers from here
Those covers all work.
Now before doing anything create another folder on your desktop and call it whatever you want, it's not important.
Now this step will make this easier for you.
Open the covers and go into the "NDS rest" folder since it has most of the covers and keep that open
Then boot your DStwo up with BAGPlug installed and highlight a rom and press "select" then open the "Properties"
Now look at the "Game ID" Since I am using Dementium II I will use that game ID.
The game ID Would looks something like "BDEE" something of 4 letters/number.
Now in the cover folder search for those letters/numbers and it will show the cover that matches those letters/numbers, copy those into your folder you created and repeat till you got all the roms IDed
now don't change the names of the covers, just plug your microSD card in and copy the covers into the /_bagui/covers/nds and that will work.

You sir, are my hero yet again. You've helped me time and time again. I was doing exactly that, but I think I wasn't using the right ini. I'm looking at my back up, and I was only missing the / in the /_bagui.

I deleted all my coverart work for nothing

Oh well thank you SO much.

No problem

So everything is working now?

 

[Zaertix]

Yeah so far. I'll come back and probably require more assistance when the time comes. Thanks again.

As much as he feels it's appropriate, I'm sure. It gets better each time anyway and it's not a bad thing to have good support for a menu.

BassAceGold u r awesome! Any chance u could add .m4a support to the music player?

Hah, awesome. I thought about asking you, if you could add cheat support and here it is.

 

[Boriar]

When I haven't got any new idea for menu, BAG go to implement something great and released it!

You are GREAT

!!!!!!

Is there anyway you could add Homebrew soft-reset?

 

[mia_d]

Created a little skin for this, and uploaded it to Filetrip: http://filetrip.net/f24666-Medley-Kittens-...agPlug-1-0.html

 

[Selim873]

Wow... This is really awesome! I wish I had that card though, is there something similar for the Wood Firmware?

Probably not, porting a library to the DSTwo is a pain.

This isn't possible on the menu side of things. It would have to be added to the loader, but I can't find any documentation on the subject to add it myself.
