wow this is looking great!
any way of getting the box covers display better, maybe reduce size by maybe 10 - 15% ?

maybe solve the images looking stretched.

TIA

I tried resize my covers to 160x224 and try on v3.1, but some is ok and other only show no disc cover ( I checked names are correct (6 chars))

You have a bit of code in there to check for 3 digit discs if the 4 digits fail , but the server already does this check on the link your using :

956 else { //TRY WITH 3 DIGIT COVER

but on the server we already have (thanks to nimdim for tidying it all up and fixing transparancy)
CODE//Check for 4 digit image in discs folder
if (file_exists($original_image4))
{
ÂÂÂÂ$final_original_image = $original_image4;
}
//Check for 3 digit with Pal image in discs folder
elseif (file_exists($original_imageP))
{
ÂÂÂÂ$final_original_image = $original_imageP;
}ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ
//Check for 3 digit with NTSC image in discs folderÂÂÂÂÂÂ
elseif (file_exists($original_imageE))
{
ÂÂÂÂ$final_original_image = $original_imageE;
}
elseif (file_exists($original_imageJ))
{
ÂÂÂÂ$final_original_image = $original_imageJ;
}
elseif (file_exists($original_image))
{
ÂÂÂÂ$final_original_image = $original_image;
}
else if (file_exists($backup_image))
{
ÂÂÂÂ$final_original_image = $backup_image;
}
else
{
ÂÂÂÂ$final_original_image = $blank_image;
}

so theres a bit of double jobbing between the server and the loader. We tried to make it as simple as possible for loaders to get the correct covers so they check for 4 digit code first if requested and after that checks for the 3 digit code with Pal , then Nstc then NtscJ
- it might reduce the code by a small bit in the loader though not by too much , but it all helps.

box art needs to have a 6 digit id
disk art needs to have 4 digit id

location on SD Card
usb-loader/covers
usb-loader/disks

White coverflow would be a great option, a lot more wii-ish, if you ask me.

Also, a little more complicated request: Moving the coverflow all the way to the bottom of the screen and display \backgrounds\[GameID].png that would change as you flow through your games.

EDIT to clarify what I mean:

Something like that

uhhhh... what?

 

[xomp]

Game backgrounds looks so unprofessional. Not a good suggestion imo. I do agree a white version would be a nice addition/option for this though.

I know that pic isn't the best possible, but Aeon skin for XBMC is pretty awesome, don't you think?

 

[adam_the_1st]

@roku, I agree with you dude, game backgrounds is a sleek way to add visual interest. Although load time on large images may be questionable. I don't really see how it's unproffesional (xomp), when its kinda hard to call any of this professional when 90% of the people using this are stealing games. Unless you're talkin professional criminal, in which case I don't know how that should look so maybe your correct, I still doubt it though.

 

[fogbank]

still having problems getting imgs to load...

my files are the right size and in the right directory...

how should they be named is the only thing i can think might be wrong

Make sure you have cIOS rev10 installed. Images won't load with cIOS rev9.

 

[Pegasos123]

is there a dol for the new rev???

or is the newest rev in 3.1 ????

 

[guirouskool]

Y' see...It looks like this for me:

Discs are alright...

(I'm sorry if it was resolved already...)

I've got the same probleme. CIOS rev10 installed, covers in the good folder, and ID title are ok. If someone have a solution, thanks a lot!

Unprofessional, as in it would look like a mess with all the different colored background images and everything. A nice clean background looks so much nicer than something like that.

Exactly, leave backgrounds for 16 year olds..

you might wanna take a look how a sleek loader with changing backgrounds could look like.

same thing happened here. absolutely no idea ...

 

[scognito]

I suggest you to wait until next release, and remove the covers if you have internet capabilities, next release will be nice and usable
