The folder where I'll upload future compiles ;-)

Here is my version where you can set the covers folder
r169+covers_path

make sure you read this to see how it works
http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=149...p;#entry1941083

for the other available settings (the officials) check this

Source differences:
Check code at http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=149922&st=1680
cfg.h doesn't have the changes in 166 as the only thing they did was to disable the default folders when using the covers_path (which is only enabled at my version for now)

Yeah, this is another "I can't get covers or disc images to work" post, but I'm no n00b here. I've tried almost everything -- I've tried tons of different sizes, different paths, and I even tried setting my own path with marinos35's dol files, but nothing has worked for me. I have a widescreen TV if that has anything to do with it. Can anyone give me any tips?

 

[thrashman]

same prob here images looked garbled. switched to build with folder settings. now no images.

 

[BIG MOE]

did you install cIOS36_rev10

 

[Sportsmaniac1322]

did you install cIOS36_rev10

Yeah I installed that when I upgraded to 4.0.

when you used my edition, did you set the wcovers_path ? Because if you have set your Wii to widescreen it will check for that. Anyway, I'll change my version to use only covers_path (wcovers_path will be disabled) as from r169 the 4:3 covers will work fine also with 16:9.

Some things you should note

1st the images dimensions must be a multiplier of 4
2nd the files' names should use 3 first letters of Game ID or the full Game ID
3rd the discs folder is under your covers folder and is named disc NOT DISK
4th the default covers folder is SD:/images (or wimages if you have wide and my version)
5th check that the images DO have the correct name and you CAN view them properly at your PC
6th all the images are .png

1) My covers are 160x124, so that shouldn't be an issue.
2) I use the full names for my box art, and the first 3 letters for disc images. I think that's the default when you download them.
3) My folder name is a lowercased "disc" folder.
4) I have my images in an "images" folder AND a "wimages" folder. My config is set for those 2 folders.
5) All my images open just fine using Irfanview.
6) Of course they're all .png, since they were downloaded from the box cover site.

So I don't think any of your potential problems are my specific problem. Any other ideas?

 

[Stang]

the theme command does not work (atleast for me), use wtheme when making your config.txt.

So

wtheme_path = SD:/mytheme/ where mytheme is your folder.

edit

I misread Sportsmaniac's post, I thought he was refering to themes. My bad.

What's new:
now there is no wcovers_path, only covers_path as the latest version will display correctly your 4:3 images even in widescreen


QUOTE(Sportsmaniac1322 @ Apr 27 2009, 04:59 AM) So I don't think any of your potential problems are my specific problem. Any other ideas?

Post your config.txt (which I guess that it's placed at SD:/config/config.txt) and also try my latest version.

Ok I finally got my images to work. Turns out one of the files was incorrectly named, which is odd since it came off the images web site. Thanks for your help anyways.

 

[wiimano]

hey mates, not sure if this has been addressed yet or not, I haven't had the time to read through everything.

My wii freezes up one every two or three times that it returns to the system menu.

Either if I exit out of a wii game and return to wii menu, or if I just power down the wii and start it up again.

Does anyone else have this issue?

Its a high pitch beep noise that doesn't stop on the wii menu.

Everything else with this loader works great, except it doesn't download any covers

Is that not implemented in this loader?

Hope someone can explain or help me out with that, I'd imagine not the only one with this issue

thanks mates

Now my images show up, but they have a square around them. This applies to the 3D covers and the disc images. It's supposed to be transparent, but I get a white square. Here are some pictures:

EDIT: Never mind. Figured it out

I downloaded the latest version of this, bu can you add a feature that lets us choose whether to have normal, 2d covers or these new "3d" ones? I like the old, 2d covers better and they're easier to get since WBFS Manager 2.5 downloads them automatically, those covers work fine with Ultimate USB Loader but not this.

 

[keyra]

i'm just compiling it, you should ask on their googlecode page

I was talking to the TC, I don't really follow this topic cause it's way too big and kind of impossible to follow.
Where can I download PAL, NTSC and NTSC-J up to date covers for this loader and up to date, RENAMED disc images?
There's a link to a topic in the first post but the disc cover images there all need to be renamed and the link with pre-renamed disc covers in one of the posts is probably out of date and I don't even know if it's a complete set.

sorry, everything is kind of a mess with this loader and I want it because of the awesome GUI
