@WiiMonkey

sorry off this site is no 3-d cover for the game

First off, thanks to everyone for keeping all those images upto date and djtaz for running what became the #1 ressource for us usbloaders coders.
however i might add a little feature request to the website. you should put an alphabet list at the very top so we just have to click on the letter to go straight to the relevant titles.
it can easily be done with an anchor, or name atttribut in a div.

Hi,

I really think it would be better if the site returned 404 not found instead of creating fake images... as it creates strange situations as quoted below...
Anyway, I just have to thank you again for the amazing cover collection and site

This has already been answered - the site is a sub folder of theotherzone site and was set up just to help out but the 404 error is not possible because theotherzone.com main site will be using it.
Sponsor a new site and ill do it that way for you, though it will crash the auto loaders that depend on images, but you can explain that to the coders who spent hours with auto download scripts on USB loaders.
Dont ask again unless you want to spopnsor a new hosting package for the site.

Hey Guys
How can i download just the disc images from the site
http://www.theotherzone.com/wii/pal.php
If i use the all in zip file the disc images isn't there
You cant - this has also been discussed already.

Doesn't seem to work for me, using Firefox 3.0.9.

I tried to pm you djtaz, but your inbox is full so it wouldn't let me send it

Here's the message:

Hey man, got a few more disc images to upload, BlackEnigma scanned in some of his collection and I processed them.

I tried Tatsunoko vs Capcom NTSC-J and Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition NTSC-U, but it doesn't seem to work. Can you let me know if you're getting them on your end? Still got another 4 or 5 to upload....

I actually uploaded two images for Tatsunoko vs Capcom, the first was massive and it was the source image (whoops), the second being the 600x600 centred image with transparency. I forgot to rename it to 4 digits though, it's the full 6, maybe you can do this at your end, that is if you even got the file....

yep for me too, i'm on opera though.
but i know why it doesn't work (i'm a web dev too, so it's an easy one):
your links look like this "http://www.theotherzone.com/wii/pal.php#a"
but your anchor is name like that "A".

See the diff? the browser is case sensitive so it will look for a "lower a" and won't find any... to fix this either name all your anchors with lowercase letters or your links with uppercase arguments.
i'd rather go for the lowercase though:
http://www.theotherzone.com/wii/pal.php#a
A

Nope didnt get either that i can see , but if the file already exists the upload will fail.
And yeah - i keep getting spuds PM'ing me asking me stupid questions they should post on threads filling up my inbox- its a pain in the bum cause theres a few genuine people pm'ing me

Ah, I see. I thought I could upload a four digit one and have it go up for moderation to replace a 3 digit one. What's the best way for me to get them on the site then? Don't want to have to bother you to upload them each and every time.

I have been seeing a few reports about white boxes around the disc images (no transparency), so i just tried using the PAL Wii music original disc image in the GUI USB LOADER resized to 160x160 through your site and sure enough it's showing a white box around it. I also tried my original image resized to 160x160 with photoshop and it works fine. Not sure what your resize algorithm is doing to the transparency, but when I open it up in photoshop, it doesn't have any transparency at all (just white background). It's strange because it seems to have it in the windows preview tool.....

thats what i get for rushing it - bloody case sensativity.

 

[Don Killah]

yep, that's it. you knwo how to fix it then.
by the way, thanks for adding this feature, it makes scrolling a little bit easier.

Why do the 3D boxes at theotherzone have no transparency? And the disc labels all look like someone used ms paint to cut all the edges off?

Seems like there's something wrong with the resizing of the images and transparency..... Could be wrong though.

 

[djtaz]

Yeah it looks like the script for the server to resize the images cant really handle transparency properly.

Im not sure if anyone has any insight into PHP resizing images on the fly , but i may have to remove it if we are getting things like the above as its pointless having the images like above on the wii.

Ill just keep the actual sizes on the site i cant resolve the problem with resizing.

Hi i'm looking for the disc image/art for Little King's Story Pal RO3P99.
The disc image on djtaz's site is not transparent and does not have a hole in the middle, can someone please correct this?

 

[delirium83]

@djtaz:
there are some comments about transparency (a.k.a. alpha channel) with resizing on http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecopyresized.php

 

[nindim]

The transparency issues with the 3D cover and discs from www.theotherzone.com/wii/ should be sorted now. Please let me know if there are any problems.
