Homebrew Snes9xGX Cover+ & co

[painless]

Recently I started using Wiiflow. I then realized how awesome it was to emulate my nand and chose to try to load everything that's on my sd card over to my usb drive. I then thought it would be nice to have a single folder that would contain a bunch of subdirectories. Each subdirectlry would be a central point where appropriate programs would draw then data from (i.e.- covers). I want to do this just because I am a bit of a geek and like shiny things. (for the record, I realize this is not currently a possibility to have most Wii programs change their default given paths)

All I was saying with my DOS comparison is that in order to point either snes9xGX & FCEUGX to a different folder than the stock directories, one must know exactly the path to where whatever file one is trying to load. Having a browse feature added to either of these most awesome emlators would simply be like icing on a cake. Not really a necessoty but sure would be super cool. Like in Windows 3.0 one had a gui as opposed to DOS where things were text based. The current state of these two great programs is a bit of Windows 3 + DOS mixed together I think. They're wonderful and I love them.

Cover Set Update!

Update 03-11-12: Added an SNES 3D Cartridge Set, and an NES 2D Cartridge Set. Also added links to preview all of the files on Photobucket.

Update 03-07-12: Updated snes9xgx sets (Added some Covers). The 2D set was mostly replaced by a more vibrant set and looks a little more alive. See spoiler for example.

Spoiler: SNES 2D Old vs New

Old 2D Set

New 2D Set

Update 03-05-12: Updated all fceugx cover sets.

Update 03-03-12: Soo.... I've been updating my VbaGX Coversets. Have not only added to them, but have fixed the perspective on the 3D covers to display the proper aspect ration instead of bieng stretched. From here on out, everything will be of the proper aspect ratio. See the spoiler below to see what I'm talking about. I also adjusted and updated the Snes9xGx Cart Covers. Although they weren't off much being stretched, the corrected aspect ration definately makes a difference.

Spoiler: 3D Perspective: Proper Ratio vs Stretched

Stretched: Prior Sets

Proper Aspect Ratio: Current Sets

Also, I've added GBC and GBA cartridge sets! GB set will be coming in the next few weeks.

And FYI, the newer sets are named to my roms, sorry.. but not really, because the majority of the covers (especially GBA) needed to be renamed to not exceed the character limit anyways, so if you name your roms to match these covers, you'll be all good and everything will display correctly.

Thanks a lot!
I will check this out tonight.
Thank you for sharing.

 

[mastershoes]

I have updated every set now (fceugx and snes9xgx since the previous post), have yet still to add a Gameboy Classic Cart set, but I think everything else will stay as is at this point. My collection is finally matched at 100% on these so I'm satisfied... so I guess my finalized versions are up! (If anyone wants to add any Jap/Alts to these sets, feel free!) Look back 3 posts for the links, I didn't want to spam this thread with links.

 

[seam]

So I'm using the latest fceu covermod, 3.2.9 r1. I just wanted to know what d.a.u.b.e is... ? I noticed it at the top corner of the screen when trying it out. Also, I'm having a problem with the lastest snes cover mod(Snes9xGX 4.2.9 Cover v2). like it keeps coming up saying USB DEVICE NOT FOUND. it does this more often than not. im 100% positive its the emulator. anyone else having this issue?

 

[Wiimpathy]

The name of the revision is just a bad private joke. Daube is a french dish (one of my favorite). It looks like that:

Spoiler

Generally it's beef and carrottes cooked for hours in red wine.

A second meaning would be crap or shit in english.
I read discussions about the version should be called this or that... Personnally, I don't give a fuck as long as you know it's the latest one.

For the usb not found, no idea. It happens with ios58 and 202?

haha, thanks for the explanation, i was just curious. and yea, about the usb drive not found. it happens in the latest Snes9xGX 4.2.9 Cover v2, and im using the 202 version. it doesn't happen every time, but its happening pretty frequently. Im going to try the ios58 version in a bit to see if it does the same thing. Im not having any usb issues of any kind with anything else. Oh, and I JUST started using this latest snes9x cover mod yesterday btw. Its not like ive been using it for a month and then all of a sudden it started giving me problems or something... (was using 4.2.8 Cover v5 cios202 before this) In the meantime ill be testing out the 58 version. One other question I had was about the info.xml file. I have it on the SD/snes9xgx/info.xml and usb/snes9xgx/info.xml JUST to be sure, and whenever i try to check a games info it just says "info.xml not found" I edited the first few game names in the xml to match the names of my roms(2020 baseball (U) etc) but i still cant get it to work... not sure what im doing wrong...


edit: well i got it working. i think it was because i still had the last version of snes9xgx covermod i was using on my sd, and it was conflicting with the config files or something... but i deleted them both then then extracted JUST Snes9xGX 4.2.9 Cover v2-ios202 and now it works fine... also with the info.xml file, a friend on here told me it needed to be placed in apps/snes9xgx... NOT sd:/snes9xgx. so that got it working.

I need to try this!!!!!!!!!!

Well, i had found one, and got it put together.. then re-sized it and realized it was kind of a crappy set (Some are really nice, but others are pretty baaaaad) So I've been searching for another. I know there's at least 2 mint sets in the works round about the web, so I'm gonna be patient rather than start a set from scratch, on account of i can concentrate my efforts on some other projects i have going. I'll continue searching for some in the meantime though... They'll come eventually! It's the only set I'm missing from vbagx and it's driving me nuts!

 

[Bladexdsl]

try here for gb covers just type game name in, choose images and the covers should be in there

Would it be possible to get a blank generic 3d Snes box for the games that have no cover.

I'm talking about The Chaos Engine (UK name of Soldiers of Fortune), Cannon Fodder and Zelda Parallel worlds

That's super cool. I have like 40-60 missing covers (haven't actually counted). Currently I'm using the 3d box art which I like the best... my wife says she prefers the 2d art though so Ill give this a try man. Thank you so much for your contribution to this commnity of awesome-ness! Seriously.

 

[ToddofWar420]

Thanks. I will continue to contribute with what I can. I'm currently working on more 2D covers for the NES. Hopefully I will have a link up sometime in a day or 2.
