Delete the wiiflow/cache/blank_covers folder and reload cache.

Edit: Upon further inspection I've discovered the blank covers cache into the folder of the source to which they belong. For example NES.png cache will be located in the cache folder corresponding to your NES boxcover folder named NES.png.wfc

Hola guys :)

I'm using the NES covers - Shrunken Spine (845MB) (last update: 2022-04-06) for my Nintendo Entertainment System games but I don't know why looks like in this pic. Is this normal or this is no compatible with Rhapsodii Shima theme? The front and the back of the cover is only in the front side :/

Help me please friends. Thank you in advance.

First please remove/delete the NES cache folder.

Then you need to move the NES.png covers from the "covers" folder to the "boxcovers" folder.

The covers folder is for front images and the boxcovers folder is for full images.

How can I remove/delete the cache folder? I selected the "Reload cache" option with the covers inside of the boxcovers and noting happens... same issue.

EDITED: I deleted the cache folder from Wiiflow>cache>Nintendo>NES and then I selected Reload cache option in the Theme and nothing happens. Same issue again, this time doesn't recognize not even a single cover.

I probably missed a post, but can't find it - the links for the covers I'm trying to download (op) seem to be broken - can someone confirm? They're not ALL broken (eg Colecovision) but most are?

Systems (all shrunken spines): Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Sega Master System

Thanks!

Edit: Disregard, it worked when I switched routers; I think it was blocking the site for "security" issues.

Hey mastershoes, I hope everything is allright. Here I attach some new PSX covers. With the recent WiiSX advancements thanks to the new lightrec implementation, now we're close to perfect PSX emulation on the Wii.
So I thought it was a crime to leave these great games without covers.
(Note: these cover are not optimized, I'm not good with it. I'm sure it can easily be done by someone else who's got the right tools and better knowledge than me)

How could I forget... Added RE2 and RE3

Hola mastershoes, espero que todo esté bien. Aquí adjunto algunas carátulas nuevas de PSX. Con los avances recientes de WiiSX gracias a la nueva implementación de lightrec, ahora estamos cerca de la emulación perfecta de PSX en Wii.
Así que pensé que era un crimen dejar estos grandes juegos sin portadas.
(Nota: estas portadas no están optimizadas, no soy bueno con eso. Estoy seguro de que alguien más que tenga las herramientas adecuadas y un mejor conocimiento que yo puede hacerlo fácilmente)

Talking about psx covers, I've always had a preference for the PAL cases (only the cases, 50Hz sucks so bad).
They were, after all, the covers that I remember from my past and sometimes they also showed better artworks imo, and the titles on the spines were more readable.
Another thing that I miss with the current Ntsc set, is that it's not designed to recreate the details of the plastic case. Some recent cover sets (PC engine/CD, FDS, Zx Spectrum) have a realistic look that would also work good for PSX games.
I know this is nostalgic feticism, but I decided to begin a PSX Pal cover set.
I won't make a complete set (there's something like 3.000 games) but I'll try to cover as many good games as I can.
I'll also include a few custom covers, for games that were never released in Pal territory, or even some Japan exclusive, in Pal format.
Here is a sample, that you can try in Wiiflow (it's already resized) if you want:
