Hello, I have Wii with Homebrew Channel and USB Loader. I'm trying WiiFlow Lite. I know this is an easy question but I'm just starting with WiiFlow. I chose Lite for Nintendont support. My questions is, can I use WiiFlow to find covers for retro games on my SD Card? So far I've been reading that it only works as a USB Loader. That makes sense. It's finding covers for my Wii games right now. What about GameCube games on my USB HDD? I haven't tried. So is there a way to get covers for my SD Card? NES, SNES Sega etc...? Please reply. Thanks

Wiiflow can download covers from GameTDB for Wii, channels and Gamecube no matter where your games are installed, SD or USB.
For emulator based games like NES, SNES... you must add covers manually to wiiflow/boxcovers/[PluginName] (where PluginName is whatever is defined for coverfolder in the plugin.ini file). You can download these covers manually on this forum from "Mastershoes cover collections for emulators with cover support". But that has nothing to do with partition settings. All games can be launched either from SD or USB.
 
First copy your covers in sd:/wiiflow/boxcovers
Then, in WiiFlow, open Settings (gear icon), go to page 4: Path Manager->Go->Box Covers->Set. Browse to sd:/wiiflow/boxcovers

You can check the change has ben applied in wiiflow.ini and look for dir_box_covers=...
