Homebrew Cover Collections - part 2

[urbanman2004]

Hey guys, so I'm trying to get covers working for my roms in WiiFlow. When I put the cover photos in the "boxcover" folder I get nothing. When I put the photos in "cover" I get a weird stretched version where it puts the whole cover on the front.

I created a guide over a couple of years ago that should be helpful in explaining how to add covers onto roms in WiiFlow which I would suggest you check out regarding your dilemma: HOW TO USE EMULATORS (PLUGINS) AVAILABLE WITHIN WIIFLOW

I have been slowly working on the Atari 8-Bit set for some time. This is taking so long because of life and motivation but most of all the lack of decent and correct art. I initially wanted to do 800-900 covers for this set but it turns out it will be more like 500+. Some of the original art is very nice but 80% is rough and is time consuming to fix / edit.

With that in mind, i start/continue/finish other projects to keep sanity. Here is my latest project...an update to my N64 cover set. I am making this set with "Only For N64" on all fronts. Many original box art are inconsistent of which truly are "Only For N64", for example Body Harvest which does not have the logo but was never released for any other system. The other issue is placing peripheral logos for each cover. Again, Nintendo did a very poor job of this and hard to find concrete information of which games used/required what.

Edit:

I am putting more time into the update set, hopefully it will be up in a few days...

Edit 2:

I attached a few new covers along with a snap of games that may or may not use expansion and/or rumble pak. If you are positive any of the games do or do not use either please post since many sites give conflicting reports.

Rayman 2 (for example) i owned and beat way back then and swear it used the rumble pak, but the original box doesn't indicate rumble is a feature. Some reports claim rumble is supported while others do not and we cannot seriously be sure by the box since nintendo was very sloppy how they advertised..

If anyone can help out that would be awesome. I am very close to completing the set, it should be available later tomorrow or sunday. Anyhow here are a few samples...

 

[RunningSnakes]

Both N64 update sets are nearly complete hopefully by Sunday sometime.

The full vertical set will have yellow skins while i will include the other skin color templates if users want to drop them on top of the original yellow.

The cropped set will have gold skins and will also include other skin color templates if you prefer.

Samples on next post below.

 

[RunningSnakes]

What started as N64 updates turned into new cover sets. Front art, back art and skins are all new and the spines were resized.

I hope you enjoy these as much as i do, use the links on the OP if you want these bad boys!!!

Atari 8-Bit cover set is done! A brutal task that will never be complete, my attempt to pay respect to the great computer is through the art.

Such a difficult and time consuming process cleaning the original art, i had to cut many games off the list because they required total custom art. Yes, the Atari 8-Bit fans have not done anything for art, absolutely nothing!

What i have are 400+ covers, almost all have been cleaned manually. They are not perfect but much better than their previous state, which in many are now presentable.

Maybe i will come back to this set to add or clean/fix, but for now...

I hope you can appreciate the set for what it is.

 

[RunningSnakes]

Hello everyone. I've been busy with a few different projects but hopefully will complete a new custom Master System set sometime in the near future. I started working on this set 3-4 months ago and got back at it recently. The set is about 1/3 done and hopefully will be completed before June...

Anyhow, here is the new Golden Axe NEO CD cover and spine fixes for Shinobi and Captain Barrel....

Edits.. Neo Geo CD cover set has been updated. Minor improvements for many and a few completely redone. Here are the updated Homebrew covers...

I appreciate all of your work. Your fingerprints are all over the wiiflow lite build I'm creating right now. I'm assuming that what your working on now will be added to the main covers download page when completed?

Also, for what it's worth, it seems there are many dead links on mastershoe's cover collections page that are now dead due to adf.ly links being down.

I'll try and fix that soon. I thought I had removed all adfly links awhile back.

Thanks mastershoes! Your work here is just legendary.

The two I found were the sg-1000 customs and the Neo Geo Arcade shrunken spine renamed to match zips.
I haven't tried the rest.

Edit: I've clicked through all of the links, CPS1 and CPS2 Flyer sets open and close a new tab but don't cue a download. Everything else seems to be working fine.

One more Neo CD homebrew cover for those interested...Hypernoid

Edit: attached to prior post above^^^^^^^^^^.

If anyone finds any other problems, just lmk.

Shantae - Risky Revolution GBA cover!
Xeno Crisis GBA!

Gonna do a few more GBA HB covers...request if you want something from GBA while i'm at it.

 

[RunningSnakes]

Atari 800 cover set is updated with new spines.

The set is already renamed with format extension(s)...using .xex for almost all games, .atr for most of the rest. There are a few .cas and only Prince Of Persia uses .car which btw is a pretty awesome port.

The A8 game rom library now days can be intimidating / overwhelming with the amount of content. For me, i always use .xex because they Work very well and only resort to .atr when there is no choice.

If you are having issues with finding solid dumps, PM for help...here are a few updated covers...
