Wii Cover Downloader for Cfg-Loader

awesome! I think I have all the covers for my games, but this looks like it could save me some time if I ever encounter one that gives me trouble!

thanks!

this is really useful, as i have no internet connection on the wii

oi this is cool

thx

Nice will give this one a try

Very interesting idea, this tool was really missing.... not all people have a wii connected to internet and this apps solves their problem in a great way.

This apps is so interesting that deserves to receive all of the possible comments or ideas for further improvements....
This are my two cents ideas:

1) allow the feature to select the prioritary contry of the covers to be downloaded first....
as an example, if "FR" is chosen then the France covers are first downloaded from WiiTDB, if they are missing the choice goes to the EN ones...

2) allow the option to first download HQ fullcovers and if they are missing to download the standard fullcovers

3) allow the possibility to download the covers related not to the directories present in usb:/wbfs/ but related to the id_games present in a txt file or copy/pasted in the app...
this could allow the people to download the covers even if the external usb HD is not connected to the PC but is still in the wii... this could allow also the people to download covers of games not present in the wbfs directory...

Thanks for this very good piece of software and sincere compliments for the idea...

Why would you want the cover if you haven't got the game?, but i can add a option to input a game id( or game title?) and then choose to download the covers for that game.

Thanks for the comments guys(or gals).

Great tool now time to start downloading

Absolutely loving the idea of this application.

I'd also like the option to allow downloads for non wbfs folder games, possibly using titles.txt?

I havent yet moved from wbfs partition to fat32 partition, so it isnt because I wish to download covers for games I do not have, but simply for games I do not have on a FAT32 drive.

Thank you for creating this.

Just because people can have a wbfs drive connected to the wii, or may just want to download covers for games they are going to backup in the future...

The better idea is the one by fluffykiwi, that is to download the covers by using the file titles.txt ....

Thanks for this extremely useful tool

Thank you very much for this tool, I found myself in need of this kind of program.

I was wondering if you could add two features:
1 - Download all missing; a single button instead of having to click on all four "missing" buttons and waiting in between
2 - Detect .ISO files in addition to .WBFS. Some of us are switching to .isos since some loaders have been adding support to that. I was able to work around this by renaming all my .iso to .wbfs for the downloader to detect my games.

I'd also like to reiterate the other suggestions regarding allowing us to choose which order to look for the languages and to download HQ full covers if available.


Thank you once again for the tool.

Thanks for comments.

Detecting Iso's will be in the next release.
Downloading customdisc images and HQ full covers, choosing the language has already been added.
Need to add the 'download all missing' feature.

Great work, only 2 questions:

1- Why i cant download covers from spanish language? I only can download 2d and 3d and no always.
2- Can you made that we dowload all covers at same time?

Sorry for my english.

1.Which game specifically can you not download the spanish cover for, a quick search on wiitdb.com show that ES covers are limited in appearance.
2.Download every cover for all games that are in the wbfs folder or for every game?

ive tried searching the AU stuff using this, and it cant find anything not 1, and the same appears to happen with every other region? whats going on?, when ever i click check all, i get red check buttons under everything? im using the titles.txt feature.

for some reason, now i can download some but when i do they are 0bytes

im sorry but im not getting that problem, anyone else getting 0 byte size files?

i tried to download the super paper mario ones but still they are 0 bytes

Might be a silly question but do ALL the images supposed to show up as 007 Quantum of Solace cuz mine are?
