holy crap this is PERFECT!
though the boxes could be more "glossy" looking for the actual loader when it's made to give it that "fresh" feel
This is "PERFECT!"

Well, we still all keep saying on this forum: very nice, cool, pefect, ... and so on; But Cant we start speak about programming?

If this thread is just the content "image" of its title "Coverflow demo", well so sad and me sorry too!

A suggestion: Why not to start a 3D Art USBLoader? Let's do it together, even if we're beginners, cause together = the power is on our side

So, YES WII CAN!

I agree there's too many "cool work" messages already, so I'm gonna try to avoid to sum one more to the ton.

It's been said before that the covers loading time could be a problem when we need to display that many covers (different textures) at once, they have to be stored in the SD card and its read access speed can be not as good as necessary. If the images were stored in the usb device they are suppose to be loaded at a faster speed. Actually there is a loader which takes the pictures from the usb: uLoader by Hermes (source code is included), pretty similar to ninty's original menu. Images have to be injected previously to each iso. It takes advantage of a "filled with zeros" area at the beginning of the isos in wbfs format. In the readme comes the following note: "PNG file size must be less than 200KB, but it's much better if it's less than 100KB, because it will directly affect main screen's load times". Then, the loader takes the injected png file from each iso and that's all.
That's the loader I'm using atm and I've made a few icons already. Images don't need to be that small, these are like that because this is the proper size for uLoader.

I just wanted to point out that this could be a possible solution to try just in case that loading from SD doesn't work as fast as expected if there's many images to be shown/load. Just giving an idea to try in a future if necessary.

I just wish someone dumped the code of a starlight Wii that they use in hospitals, so we could use Nintendo's 3d cover flow.

I don´t think that it´s needed to load all images at ones and if i´m not wrong he already wrote threads to load the images in the background if they are neeed.

The Starlight Foundation is a US-based charity and you can find these things in, surprise, US hospitals, generally in the children's wards. (No, they aren't in the waiting rooms at the ER, etc.)

Can you please shut up with the f****** Starlite? Hell, some said it before, and I'm saying it again...let him do the work, and let him do it how he wants it. Shut up with "OMG, Starlite is so freking col!!!"-Posts, until the source is open. Then make a Thread, and develope it...until then, wait, watch and be quiet...sorry...It's like Picasso is drawing Mona Lisa, and people stood around him and say always: "Hum, where's the face? Make a face, man. Oh, you have to make the lips more red...where's the Eyebrown? Make an eyebrown..., etc."

Chill out dude, no one is stopping the developer, and no one said the his cover flow has to be like starlight. All I said is it would be cool if sometime down the line someone dumped the code. I don't know why your getting so worked up.

Whats your problem Blue-K? Its no need to get that pissed, it has nothing to do with this development at all, so what about you please shut up instead and focus. If you read the text properly you'll understand cause i didn't wrote anything that he has to make the flow like the starlite thats almost what your saying? So yeah chill out.
