Hacking GameTDB - game information database + covers

[Yod4z]

I have about 20 PAL games (im on NTSC wii) and unfortunately when I get the full covers via my loader, a lot of times there is a full cover for the NTSC version of the game and not PAL, so I have a bunch of pal games with no full cover. Would it be possible that if no PAL fullcover is available it downloads the NTSC one and renames it to the PAL version etc so I don't have to do it manually?

That's not the fault of WiiTDB but the fault of your USBloader.

For those who like the OffLineList for the DS or those who want to keep track of what is out and what you have yourself:

I made an OffLineList with info and pictures from WiiTDB.

See OffLineList for WiiTDB topic for more info.

I try to update it 1 time a week.

That's a lot of work you've been doing, and well organized... I'm sure more people will enjoy this than people who will take the time to thank you. great job!

Could someone post "Bermuda Triangle - Saving the Coral" NTSC?

Do you need the cover, 3D cover or full cover?
The cover/3D cover can be found easily, if you know the game ID you can post it here (or you can login and create a page on the site).

The problem with fishing master world tour is still around.

It will download the cover for fishing master.

I manually downloaded the correct cover and put it on my hard drive and it worked fine.Today i added more games to my hard drive so i used wiiflows download cover feature so i could get all the new covers and it replaced the fishing master world tour i already had with the fishing master cover which is wrong

Maybe it found the wrong cover from the png folder, there are two folders: one with the png that were downloaded and one with another format that is used by the loader to display the files.
I checked again with the RTRE18 and RTLE18 IDs and there is no mix up.
Get in touch with me by private message or through the contact form on the site to send me the wrong file and we'll know for sure if it's on the site or not.

Inside the boxcovers(front back image) folder for wiiflow i had two images both identical for fishing master and fishing master world tour.Both were named what they were supposed to be for that game but fishing master world tour is wrong of course.

Inside the covers folder(front cover only) there is the correct image file for fishing master world tour.It doesnt show up in the loader though because of the cache folder.I deleted the appropriate file from the cache folder so it should all work fine now.

Gonna start wiiflow back up and check it out and then update my images again to see if it goes back to the wrong cover.

Thank you for the quick and timely update! WiiTDB is the best.

Since I was tired of waiting for a HQ cover for the Special Edition version of The Conduit and a HQ PAL cover for Dead Space with English wording on the back, I made my own:

Guys,

Can anyone help me out please.

Is here a tutorial or guide anywhere to show me how to create a 3D cover for using in USB Loader GX.

There are a couple I need to create and cannot seem to find a guide anywhere

Thanks a million

I answered by PM first, but in case someone else is wondering about the same thing:
The 3D cover is created automatically when you upload a cover

 

[Swiss1]

This is great. Thanks a million.

Have a quick Q which I am sure has been asked before but not found this yet.

One game I have did not auto download the cover using USB Loader GX:

RT7F69 - Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07

Just had a look here and this exists with covers, so not sure what the issue is. Anyone able to help?

 

[zorglub07]

Since you're in Switzerland your USB Loader GX may be set to German while this is the French version of the game so it tries to get the German cover and doesn't find it.
I updated the covers for this game, it should work now.

The correct is this, but now I can't chage.

(convert any cover to HD 2D 3D covers)
cover size does not matter..

Problem solved!

Thanks!

EDIT: The cover is erased. Is not good?

 

[Yod4z]

no, it's not a real full cover (it's a custom one) and in fact it's an US custom one not an EN one

 

[alaeddine]

Hello,
I was wondering how to get full covers ( maybe not HQ ) for some games like Zangeki No Reginleiv , Naruto Ryujinki and Sin & Punishment2 ?

Thanks
