"AutoJaquettes Wii" can create 3D covers in colors and with title, would be great if we can upload 3D covers..

Here you can see the difference

I know signups are disabled - that's why I was asking.

As for Pajama Sam - if you don't like it - don't use it. You could always make your own. Simples!

So much for trying to help.

Sheesh!

Spayrosam, thanks for AutoJaquettes Wii. You must be aware that a few people started to make good use of it already

I'll add it in the downloads section of WiiTDB if you're ok.
About the spine, I could make it look the way you want so they wouldn't need to be uploaded but then all games wouldn't have the same kind of spine.
Games without a full cover would have the default spine. Maybe NeoRame made the original template this way for the same reason.
If spines were taken into account some 3D covers would be replaced just to add the spine even if the new cover part looks worse.
It's also one more thing that wouldn't feel complete as long as there isn't a full cover for each game.
When a new game is released and the full covers is not available, people can download the 3D cover without having it looking like a temporary cover.
For now maybe I could add an "alternate 3D cover pack" in the Download section along with the other full packs.

Raffles, it must be the language barrier.
I'm sure Yod4z (who is part of the team) was just mentioning it to explain why he didn't add it. He added the other disc image on the same day.
Your help is certainly appreciated, send me your user name/password/email using the contact form on the site and I'll add your account.

No worries. I was probably being a bit over-sensitive anyway

.

It's all cool.

Anyway - I've found the 'real' PAL disc image (refresh this page if you don't see it).

I'll send you over the details later - as I'm off out shopping now (yeah for me - not).

EDIT : Back. Here's some 'real' to replace the customs you have:

Got it thanks.

I'm not sure if the 'reals' I've put above have been added from my post - or they were there already (only Yod4z knows the answer to that one

).

I do use GX and when I did the auto-download of them, I got the custom ones - that's why I thought you didn't have the 'reals'.

Not to worry - as I can upload them directly for you now.

cheers

Maybe you have USB Loader GX set to download custom artwork only, that would explain it. There's a setting to select Custom/Original/Original+Custom.

It's set to original+custom. Not to worry. I'm just a purest when it comes to covers (as you know already

).

I downloaded the covers but in WiiFlow the covers are way too big for the 3d boxes, they look nice on my pc when looking at them but on the screen they are stretched huge. Any ideas how to fix this?

EDIT: So I got the WiiFlow to download the covers I needed and they came out fine ... but I downloaded the 98Mb file and I'd hate to let it go to waste ... any ideas?

SobeHall, if you downloaded the cover pack from the Downloads section, it's not meant to be used by WiiFlow.
You can use this pack with USB Loader GX, Configurable Loader and CoverFloader.

I have some custom covers with custom title ID's I would like to add to the database. Since sign up is temporarily disabled and probably always will be, could someone upload them for me? If the title ID's are a problem, I can change them. But I don't think any other games exist with ID's

xx2.xxx.ppg
xx3.xxx.ppg
RGHC20.ppg

anyone help?
