Hacking USB LOADER COVER IMAGES

[cdreams]

Where are you guys getting the Game ID's from? I'm searching google but can't find jack. I want to add an image for the NTSC Deadly Creatures but can't find the code for it.

Also to add to my suggestions for the site I think you should amend the following:

1) Add a search feature to save having to scroll through all the games especially if your games at the bottom lol

2) Have it so the games are listed alphabetically, again for ease of finding games

3) Have larger images for people with larger screens, so not sure if this would need a loader specifically to allow the larger images. It would mean having two sets of images for al games. One small images like currently, and another larger pics for the HD tvs

I'm not sure you understand what I was meaning. Yes the cover is saved at the sizes you said, but when you are using a large tv, the image has to upscale to a much bigger size and so the quality your seeing at 160x225 is lost at a larger size. What might look good on my PC monitor at that size, looks unclear and pixelly on a 43" Plasma.

Just out of curiosity. I'm using a 43" HD Plasma tv, and using such small images means that when they are loaded to my screen they are having to be enlarged and the quality is pretty rubbish. I understand having smaller sizes saves space but would it be possible to have larger images for people with larger screens.

I'm not even sure if it can be done or if a larger image is used it would be too big for the loader. Anyhoo just seeing if it's possible. I wouldn't mind having much larger image files if it meant having a much more detailed and crisp image when I use the loader.

They look fine on my 130" ... Did you try it yet ?

130" ?!?! you using a projector?

 

[cdreams]

They are not that sharp on my 43 inch Plasma. I don't see how you ca have a image that's 160x225 and then have it literally about 10 times the size when it displays on my screen showing up with any kind of detailed quality. It looks fine for an image of course, but it's in no way sharp or as clear as it could be.

However I understand that if you increase the size, then the size on the tv would also increase, so not sure how you could avoid that. I would just like to have a high resolution image there that looks really professional.

CTRL + F finds games - lazy gits

Carnival Games is there already
Metal Slug is in as RMLPH4 but is there - ill upload it as the ID you have as well
Guilty Gear XX Pal RG2PXS is also there - again a different ID so ill upload yours as well

 

[Wiisel]

I noticed some games dont have the full title for example in pal section for example RO8P7D is named as just Spyro instead of its full title The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon.
another suggestion would be to sort by game title A-Z instead of having to use Ctrl +f.

or even better two buttons to sort page view by either game title or title ID

 

[tj_cool]

Sorting the page is a good idea
and the spyro name is probably too long for the page

 

[cdreams]

Ok I never knew about the Control F to get that search box up. Also just to note it's actually cmd+f on my Mac, just in case anyone else is wondering.

I already mentioned about sorting alphabetically, it's not essential but would look better if the games are in proper named order.

The existing Rayman Raving Rabids cover is bad.

Please exchange the RRBP41 cover with

I cannot upload an already existing cover

F -> Find
Heres all ctrl shortcuts (although they may differ on some programs)

Macintossers now have a download zip option as well.
I havent tested it (though i have a triboot laptop, but couldnt be bothered logging into osx) but im confident it works.

Alphabetical is a lot harder as it lists the games off the Game ID and not the game name - it can be done , it just means a total re-structure of the way it does things , which i wont be doing today.

The site was only a concept to see if people had an interest since Kosaic had all of the images done already (thanks again) i said it may be handy to have them onlline, but ill take any suggestions and if they are fast and easy ill do them.

As for larger images, dont think they will really work as they wont fit into the space on the laoder unless someone does a collection of 300 dpi images which again is up to users - i could create a different section for hi res images at that size if anyone was interested in doing it.

Does anyone have the Disaster Day of Crysis PAL cover image?

If you dont include the code no one can make the game for you

Done - Thanks

Here is the PAL version of Donkey Kong JET RACE (the ntsc version is BARREL BLAST)

Missing covers

You have Donkey Kong Barrel Blast / Jet Race and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat the wrong way round as well. You need to swap the codes around.
