Hacking USB LOADER COVER IMAGES

[djtaz]

djtaz your site is awesome!

I went to it thinking, "Hey, I guess it's nice that the files are listed there, but what would really be cool would be to have an option to click the ones you want, or select all of them, and just send them all to me. . ."

Then I got to your site. . . Then I felt dumb. . . That brings us to the present.

Nicely done!

Lol well im trying to design it around what people ask for - the only thing im really missing is alphabetical listing , but ill figure that out at some stage - i know its possible , just have to work out the logic and then the coding and ill have it done

Thanks for the support

Honestly though , without Kosaic doing the initial images and everyone else jumping in and naming them and adding as we go , thered be nothing at all on the site , so the real thanks should go to the lads who put their time and effort into the images and names - they are the real guys who deserve the thanks on here , i only made the structure.

I think someone is working on using the site to autodownload for their usb loader which is the initial reason i thought about it.

So far I've added about 15 or so Japanese covers. Will try to add more later.

 

[djtaz]

Thanks a million MrFaust - i saw the numbers in there jump alright - its great that people are all contributing to this - should have a full list for everyone in a few days

Again ill say it - You guys on here are great !

cheers again

also ive noticed some of my game id's have an X instead of the usual P,E or J ! no big deal im just curious why the X ? anyone know

 

[Kosaic]

djtaz ... Site looks good !

Cheers,
Kosaic

 

[djtaz]

Done

Not sure on the X myself - maybe it means all regions ?

Any chance for the Nodame Cantabile cover?

Anyone requesting new covers please supply ....

I have the image , just dont know the Game ID and all the images are uploaded based on ID

My PAL version of Trauma Center: New Blood has a different ID to the one listed, I assume this is because it is based off of the NTSC ID and the "E" is changed to a "P"? I think it should be:

Game Name : Trauma Center: New Blood
Nintendo Game ID : RK2P01
Region: PAL

Edit: Looks like Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars is wrong as well

Game Name : Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars
Nintendo Game ID : RM9PGM
Region: PAL

The site is great, it's nice to see the culmination of Kosaic's work in a maintainable and editable place. Easy to access as well!

 

[djtaz]

Did you upload yours ?
I can see Trauma Center: New Blood Pal RK2P01 in there now - u can search for it by searching for "Center"

 

[nindim]

I didn't realise I was supposed to add duplicates, is it possible for a game to have multiple IDs? If not, I figured it would be better to tell you so the existing entry could be edited.

If you prefer to have us add new entries, maybe you could add something so users can flag erroneous entries? Would be open to abuse though

 

[Wiisel]

double post sorry lads bastard site loads like crap

 

[Wiisel]

in the pal section RNXPDA has the wrong name and cover it should be Naruto - Clash Of Ninja Revolution but has the cover and title of Naruto - Clash Of Ninja 2
heres the correct cover

the same issue is in the ntsc section i can only hazard a guess that its RNXEDA that is the ntsc version tho

I think some games may have a few different codes possibly for different versions or regions - im not 100% sure to be honest , but we are really going on the game codes moreso than the game names so if one is missing please by all means upload it

 

[giantpune]

I just added the following ...

Game Name : Trivial Pursuit
Nintendo Game ID : RYQP69
Region: Pal

Can somebody verify that this is the right box for the pal version? I don't want to go down as the guy that broke everybody's USB loader with a bad picture. Also, if it is correct, it can be copied to NTSC as well.



EDIT... Reason, I'm an idiot.

Game Name : Trivial Pursuit

I successfully got 173 NTSC-J covers from www.nintendo.co.jp using this python program:

----
CODE#!/usr/bin/python

import re
import sys
import urllib2

def main () :

# get the list of NTSC-J games from www.usbgecko.com
url = 'http://www.usbgecko.com/codes/index.php?r=j&l=all'
url_file = urllib2.urlopen (url)
data = url_file.read ()
url_file.close()

for match in re.finditer (r'(\[)([0-9A-Z]+)(\])', data) :
code = match.group(2)
# www.nintendo.co.jp uses only the first 4 letters in code to
# distinguish different games.
key = code[:4].lower()
url = 'http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/software/%s/img/package.jpg' % key
url_file = urllib2.urlopen (url)
data = url_file.read ()
url_file.close()
if data[:6].upper() != '' :
filename = '%s.jpg' % code
print filename
jpg_file = open (filename, 'w')
jpg_file.write (data)
jpg_file.close ()

return 0

if __name__ == "__main__" :
sys.exit(main())


The JPEGs are not or the right size. If you have a Mac, you can do batch resizing.

CODE#!/bin/sh

for jpg in $(ls *.jpg); do
code=`basename $jpg .jpg`
png=$code.png
echo $png
sips --resampleHeightWidth 225 160 -s format png $jpg --out $png
done


I would like to upload all PNGs as a zip file. Does you web-site take a zip?

 

[djtaz]

No It doesnt at the moment - do the have the correct codes ?
If you upload somewhere i can add them using FTP if you want

I have not checked all 173 but I randomly checked 10+ games and all code matched the list on www.usbgecko.com. It is not convenient for me to upload the files now. I'll do that at night when I am at home.
