Homebrew Cover Collections for Emulators With Cover Support

[Maxternal]

Actually I was wondering something: is there a plugin/source for Wii2600?

Source code, yes http://www.twitchasylum.com/wii2600/wii2600-0_2-src.zip (Stole link from WiiBrew)
Plugin, no, not yet, not that I know of at least.

I hope that at the end we will get complete kit for this to work. But now, i got nothing on screen when i go in the Emu section. Except the button from the skin,

make sure the folder /wiiflow/plugins/ is on the same partition as your emulator games are and that the game files are in the folder that's set in romDir in the INI file for that emulator AND that the partiton setting in wiiflow points to that partition, too

So how are those covers coming?

There coming along, I have a lot more than whats currently posted in this thread. No progress was made in the last week though, on account of my main external drive fried out O.o

Doh.

Quick ?: How do you get the covers to show up clearer? I mean like when I go to view the back of any covers the text is usually blurry or something and I just would like to make it more readable. Thanks.

Did you edit your wiiflow.ini for HQ covers?

[GENERAL]
age_lock=0
allow_texture_compression=yes
async_network=no
b_lr_mode=no
b_on_mode_to_source=yes
box_mode=yes
compress_cache=no
country_patch=no
cover_buffer=40
cover_prio=0
cover_use_hq=yes
data_on_usb=yes
delete_cover_and_game=yes

 

[ToddofWar420]

Thanks for the reply mastershoes, I checked and it wasn't set to yes so I changed that, also my cover buffer was set to 20 so I changed it to match yours at 40.
I then went through and tested it just now and WOW what a difference it made. Again, Thanks!!

Ok, so I just landed another problem with my covers (sorry for all the troubleshooting questions I have) but I can't seem to figure out way some of my games with the same titles are showing up in different plugin folders. ie. Aladdin for NES is showing up in my SNES as well. I got both covers in their cover folders and tried to reload cache as well. Course they're both named Aladdin.zip.png so am I gonna have to unzip the games I have that are the same or is there a around this? Thanks.

You have an option... extract one of the romsets so it has a different extension

Personally, I don't use any zipped roms. Or you can change the filename, your choice. It would probably be easier to extract them, and then use a bulk-rename utility to change the extensions on your covers (you can do it to your cache as well if you don't want to rebuild all the covers).

 

[ToddofWar420]

I'll will probably just extract them to make things easier and also it should load the games faster too since it won't have to unzip the roms before it boots.
Also, to give you an unimportant update on seperating the GB/GBC/GBA emulators for the wiiflow plugins, after reading your instructions ((carefully)) I was able to do it without hassle.
Again mastershoes, Thanks for the reply and advice you've given me. You really have helped me along some tough times getting stuff done on my Wii and that I really appreciate the help and time you've given me and the others as well.

I made my own set of source menu icons, mostly to match the 'ANDRO!D' theme.

And many more.

Just downloaded the set, they look nice!! Great job man I'm glad you did a complete set. These 2 preview icons don't do your set much justice though! Could you add maybe a couple more preview icons??

I still had some roms that i dont have his cover, my idea was to show only favorties games for each emulator, but the button only work with gamecube and wii (possibly wiiware but i didnt test). Anyone know about this?

Yes, sorry, but favorites doesn't work for emu games simply because they don't have game ID's which is how wiiflow keeps track of favorites if you look in config1 or 2.ini. They could possibly be converted to work like categories.ini (rom directory/rom name) but that takes more coding and doesn't really seem to be working with categories very well. maybe in the near future favorites will work for roms but for now sorry no.

Thanks, i really was searching for an explication about this.

@[member='mastershoes'], you still updating covers for emuflow on page 1 of this thread, or are they being updated to the other sites? I'm not pressing you or nothing just curious if I need to go signup somewhere so I can pick them up. Thanks.
