Hello.

I have covers for set up for everything, but i just can't get it to work for "PC-Engine CD / TurboGrafx CD / Turbo-Duo CD"

Now games in CD disc format have two files, a .bin & .cue.

But what works in SEGA CD - dosen't work with PC Engine-CD strangly...


Here is how i did it:

Both time no luck... (Now on SEGA CD the ".bin.png" did the trick)

I also have noted, that the "normal" TD-CD covers have a slight difference in size compared to the "custom" made ones. I also tried both of them, but again, no luck.


EDIT: You have to use it like this to make it work "Buster Bros. [NTSC-U].cue.png"

@Hakaisha, I'm specifically interested in your Super Famicom & Satellaview covers: I'd like to conform them to the standard Super Nintendo view for those of us wanting to keep SNES/Super Famicom/All Things Super Nintendo displayed in 1 plugin, so thanks for uploading bud. I'm not flush with time, could you point me where to find them? Again, thanks man.
@Crimrui, I'm impressed with those vertical SNES covers dude! Friggin gorgeous, great, love the use of good fanart on the backs. Almost makes me wanna convert from horizontal. From one intermediate to another: good work!
@wantboost, covers can be either HDD or SD -- I've had them on one or the other at times. WiiFlow knows where to look via the plugin .ini file, like snes9xgx.ini. Look back on page 86: it's covered there & doubtless numerous other times throughout this thread.
@OleSchool, thanks for the feedback. Anyone else may encounter similar problems, so you may also need to:
Ensure you do not mix .jpg & .png for a plugin
Ensure size matches plugin, like SNES9XGX should be 1090x680 (thecoverproject.net hosts files roughly triple that width/height)
You may need to delete the .wfc files inside the cache folder (ex: D:/wiiflow/cache/snes9xgx/). This forces WiiFlow to rebuild every cover for a particular plugin (the fix if you've used .jpgs)
When in doubt, it doesn't hurt to Reload Cache

 

New Additions to the SNES Set!

Oddballs first

Dark Half, standard spine
Never released in US, used a found cover adapted for US cover, threw JP back on it. I'll redo this for the Super Famicom purist in me later

And finally, a JP cover
Arcus Spirits
Originally Arcus Odyssey, never released in the US on SNES (just Genesis) and of course, originated in JP. JP Super Famicom cover here. Took a lot of effort to make him stand out from the entirely dull picture, bumped color on the evil hottie in the background, no luck getting the dragon more pronounced. Not as good as I'd like, but a few steps in the right direction in my opinion.

@mastershoes, would you clarify? If I'm not mistaken, standard spine is 96px wide & the front/back is 497 on 1090x680 cover, correct? Shrunken spine = 515/60/515 I believe.

Honestly, I really don't like any cover that hasn't been officially released, unless it's a ROM hack. The rare exception is coming across people who've coupled custom backs with great fanart. Again, well done @Crimrui.

Having been years since I was last here, most of my SNES are properly wrapped now since so many have been added. Having played Super Morph after recently spending a good number of hours on that cover, I hate myself. I hate that game more tho... it's friggin lame. Can't believe I wasted time on that pile of shit. And I didn't even get great results. had to sample off eBay for the spine, pull the perspective to flatten it out, all that damn text on the back...

What's truly missing on my end are covers for translated SFC games. @mightymuffy , you rock for getting a number of them customized and mocked up as PAL releases. Really appreciate you sharing & @mastershoes for throwing a shit ton of time at this project & providing outstanding direction staying true to official covers as much as possible and including alternates (customs) too!
Here's the thing, I'm a bit anal. I prefer covers from the originating country the title was developed (or the 1st officially released in English, so I can actually enjoy the game), so for the time being my SFCs are wrapped in custom mockups, not official box art. Most look decent but for all my translated titles I'm going for as close to officially released boxes as possible. @mightymuffy talked about the glaring difference between SNES & SFC boxes back on page 80: WiiFlow and other frontends operate on predetermined cover sizes so stretching SFC boxes look like crap without a lot of overhaul/zooming/cropping/made up crap. Taking a cue from TCP (thecoverproject.net), I've been adding sidebars to the backs of mine, and the other side/spine of the box to the top (if viewed horizontally) to retain the majority of correct aspect ratios. However, the few SFC covers I've come across at TCP show not only the "Super Famicom" text on the bottom of the backside (what I call a sidebar), with either jacked fronts using cropping, zooming & extra graphics; or using the other spine/upside-down title text at the top of the front, like what I've done with Dark Half:

Warning: Spoilers inside!

(Shrunken Spine)

But I've just finished Magical Pop'n and realized I like the title at the front-top/other spine easily legible:

Warning: Spoilers inside!

Standard Spine

(US Title at top)


Shrunken Spine

I like the idea of fronts/backs staying true and making the Title on front-top/other spine legible perpendicularly, so every SFC front is interchangable in a vertical or horizontal capacity. Since we are forced to improvise when incorporating SFC into 1090x680 anyway, and that ratio is widely established as the de facto standard, I personally like having all four sides (front, back, left and right spines) with a sidebar on back (instead of stretching out or centering the back) to make that happen gracefully. Authentic SFC boxes look, by and large, great. Lemme know your thoughts ladies & gents!!

Anybody see this guy's coffee table book?

Correct on Standard Spine, 514/62/514 for Shrunken Spine. I have a macro set up to auto convert to shrunken spine, so a Standard Spine cover is all that needs to be provided when contributing to the sets. Sorry for the short reply, this month and next are kind of nuts for me, so i haven't been around a ton. Appreciate you putting in some work though, covers look great, keep 'em coming!

 

Awesome post, I appreciate this a lot!

 

Hi Mastershoes!! Been out for a while
Just dusted off my wii these past days, and it brought back so many good memories...
Here, this is for the excellent unofficial port of Nebulus for the Game Boy Advance. I'm playing it with mGBA.

Hello guys happy holydays and new year!

I have a question. On my wiiflow I added al lot of cover arts for the emulators but I am seeing that the covers sets I downloaded from this forum are not complete for some of the systems like gameboy color. A lot of covers are missing, so I am asking where you guys are downloading all the box art for make the entire gamelist covered. I know wiiflow can download covers for gamecube and wii, there is a way for doing the same for the other emulators's games?

Thanks

 

the link on the first page are covers only ? or also emulators looking for wii emulators

 

Yes, this is a cover thread. There are no emulators posted here in this thread.

Only emulators that support covers.

Are my covers compatible with forwarders?? I don't know what you mean by that. The ID's of my forwarders all match up with gametdb, so if you're asking if the forwarders will display a cover on say.. your nand on wiiflow, then yes.
