When i search "Resident Evil 2" i have to click the PAL version first. Now do you see where the "Previous/Next" links are? That's the only way i could find the NTSC-U version. The NTSC-U version simply does not show up when i search. Same with the other games i listed.

Oh, ok. I think he was using the google based search engine I have had problems finding some games before with it, too. I, myself, didn't actually know about the above search engine. I just assumed that the "wii search" option did the same thing as the google search higher up on the page. That may have been the case with him, too.

Well that appears to be the problem. I wasn't even aware there were two search engines.

Anyone else having weird downloads for the covers? Pikmin 2 and Eternal Darkness (both NTSC) downloaded PAL covers instead of NTSC covers.

That's awesome. Thanks.

Also has anything been looked into on my issue with the covers. I already deleted the covers for those games and they still show up the same. Also this game
http://www.gametdb.com/Wii/GSMF52
Shows up like this when you download it

GSMF52 is the french PAL version of this game, if you have this game and your system are configured in english i think it's normal (the loader can't find EN cover for this game then download US cover of the same game GSME52)

Yeah i see i linked the wrong game id. But still i don't understand why a player's choice would be the only viable option for a NTSC-U cover. Pardon me if my OCD is annoying.

 

[Yod4z]

ok corrected the error on gametdb, the player's choice cover was uploaded on cover and not coverB

Much appreciated. What about these games showing up with PAL covers on NTSC backups? It's happening with Configurable USB Loader btw.
