Do not use any capital letters. Make sure your path is correct for where your covers are placed and refresh your cache in WiiFlow.

Lol, almost nobody noticed the folder was called "genplus" and the line in the ini "genplusgx"....
I guess the poster found out eventually.

good job

I have followed these instructions and have my covers named exactly the same as my roms. My directory structure is as per these instructions and I cant get my fceugx covers to work at all. My first question is wiiflow/boxcovers/fceugx I manually created a "boxcovers" directly on my SD card from the root "Wiiflow" directory. Is this right?

E.G.
root: wiiflow/boxcovers/fceugx

as opposed to creating this "boxcovers" directory from the "Apps/wiiflow" directory yes?

Also, dunno if it matters but I overwrote my latest version of fceugx with the most recent that supports coverflow and overwrote the latest version on my SD card while in Windows... with the latest coverflow version.

I'm so bloody confused~!

 

[MassiveRican]

Yes your cover path is correct, it should be root wiiflow/boxcovers/fceugx. Make sure your cover name has the extension of the rom e.g Super Mario Bros 3.nes --->> Super Mario Bros 3.nes.png

Also post your fceugx plugin .ini here as well so we can take a look and help u troubleshoot.

[MassiveRican]

Your plugin ini looks good, make sure your covers are named correctly and rebuild your cache by hitting the "home" button on Wii-mote it opens up the home menu which has the option to rebuild your cache.

I need to ask this also, I have a lot of rom's and they wont all fit on my sd card so I am wanting to move everything to my USB drive. Will I need to modify any *.ini files or can I just mirror my SD card to my HDD and expect everything to work (after I have selected USB from the drop down list within WiiFlow)?

 

[painless]

Brilliant. Thanks for the reply

pitfall 3d beyond the jungle ps1 boxart for wiiflow

 

[Nickb1907]

Can anyone help me on this? I have spent about 5 hours on this now with no luck.

I only have wii, nes, snes, genesis. I had nes and snes covers coming through but genesis wasn't working. I tried changing the .ini to make it work for genesis but no luck. Now the nes and snes covers wont come up anymore (the ones that hadn't made a .wfc file).

Please someone help me figure out how the .ini needs to be for genesis and how to get the nes and snes covers to start loading again.

I am running the wiiflow masterpack and I used the renaming tool to fix all the png files to match the rom files.

thanks

 

[edwin4649]

@Nickb1907 all you do is redownload the wiiflow .ini and check that the genesis images are even supported and named right in the correct folder in boxcovers {hope that helps}

 

[Etheboss]

redownload? Wiiflow.ini is not downloadable from source but it does get auto created when you delete it.

But i suspect you mean another ini, the one that goes with the plugin that Nickb1907 has problems with, that should be downloadable from source.
