HUGE SHOUTOUTS TOO Tetsuo Shima! & triptophan! on all there help and understanding of FBA_ALPHA! (THANKS GUYS GOTTA SAY THIS WEBSITE HAS SOME GREAT PPL AND ITS BEEN A HUGE HELP!)

 

[Th3-Blu3BoMb3r]

ok need a little more help guys for full box cover art for fba-alpha i want it to be able to find a folder in a folder ex: instead of finding my covers in just the retroarch folder coverfolder=retroarch i want to be able to find the specific covers easier if i ever need to edit so i changed it to coverfolder=retroarch/CPS1 but it wont locate the covers and i changed the .ini

 

[Tetsuo Shima]

Just make sure to rename the cover files to romname.zip.png
If they are named correctly reload cache and covers should appear

 

[Th3-Blu3BoMb3r]

thats exactly what i did wrong

 

[Th3-Blu3BoMb3r]

which .dol are people using for fba_mame ? any suggestions

I'm experiencing some problems on genplusgx_mod7 plugin from Abz's pack. Sometimes it freezes when I press home to access the menu, other times it black screens when I try to exit the emulator. I believe it may be related to saves because it happened in games with save sram functionality

 

[Th3-Blu3BoMb3r]

not sure man havent gotten that far yet

how do you instal gamecube isos manually on usb and play them it shows the cover art but it wont play the game

Does anyone know if you can use fanart with the plugins? For example fanart with the mplayerce plugin for movies.

Cheers.

yes you can. you'll have to name it the same as the file.( just as you do for covers.) an depending on if you want it as a cover or as a banner. you'll need to put the file in the correct folder.
( Hulk.avi as an example or if using as a bannner. you'll have to rename it a bnr)

Would that be a Bruce banner?

Well make sure that Dios-Mios or Devolution or both are installed depending on game and preferred method of loading you might need both. I'd start with DM though personally. Then u can install with Wiiflow, but DMToolbox 0.3 is the latest tool from Crediar. It combines both DiscEx and GCReEx. U can find on on DM google SVN in downloads section.

Thanks,

Didn't work for me. Used wiiflowfanartcreator, created fanart just with background and saved out as png with .ini. Then renamed png and .ini file to to same name as video file including avi extension as part of filename.

So now under the Fanart folder I have

Hotel Transylvania.avi.png
Hotel Transylvania.avi.ini

Fanart is turned on in the main ini file.

Cool man no prob, here's a direct link to the d/load page. I would d/load the 2.8 real NAND version, it has the latest DM Toolbox included.

hmm. is this to use as a cover instead of the regular cover ? you might have to add the fan art selection to the mplayer ini.
i use fan art as custom covers if i use it. or i'll rename it as a bnr file. that way it will show up as a full banner.(using custom art like a banner is a lot nicer then as cover) i've always did my custom covers or fan art this way. i don't use the "fanart" folder.

Sorry for everyone who downloaded my Devolution r188 plugin.
It had a major problem and does NOT work.
I had based it off of an incomplete copy of the r169 plugin source and so it ignores the autoboot request completely but has the original menus cut out of it and used part of the path for options instead of my new argument
... SOOO it crashed every time.

I know this is what I get for not testing stuff but come on, people, report bugs plz!!!

Anyway, I'm removing the link to it until I can get it fixed (It's a simple fix I already have done in the code but I need to find time to sit down and compile it.)
I'll post again when it's up again.

EDIT : FIXED NOW
