[PC] CoverWii

Post by corenting »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello,

I made a small program, CoverWii.
You enter a game's ID and it downloads the covers (2d,3d,full,fullhq FR version) and the disc image (that one's in EN but it's the same) from WiiTDB.
It puts them in a "covers" folder on your desktop.
It's really, really, really simple: it doesn't handle missing files (version 1.2 lets you know what you've downloaded!), it uses another program for the download...

But I'm sharing it anyway!

Version 1.3 available!

I just downloaded 3 IDs, it works very well and indeed it's very simple.

Suggestion: Have the option to choose the type of cover to download (2d, 3d, Full..All)

And thanks for the exclusive.

it looks really good and it's also a great idea :accord: and thanks for sharing.

However I didn't understand "it doesn't handle missing files". Which files? What happens when there aren't any?

+1 for jiiwah's idea.... with little checkboxes :74:

New version (1.1)

Now you can choose what you want to download.
If the cover isn't available in FR, it downloads the EN one :)
No NTSC support though :( (it'll come this week)

Download finished.
You should check that everything downloaded properly.
Download the covers of another game (Y/N)?
I think something's wrong ;)

Yes that's the small drawback but the worst is the ERROR: Download failed [404 Not Found], too bad but otherwise really, thanks, I hope it'll be sorted out in the next versions!


Lots of exclusives lately! ^^

The accents => I forgot to do something, I'll fix it tomorrow.

The 404 errors => it can't find something. It then tries the English version but if there's no EN cover well... it downloads nothing. That's why it doesn't work with NTSC covers :(

As for the desktop, it's because the name changes depending on the Windows version...
I'll see where I can put that...


In short: wait for tomorrow, I'll publish a new version...

I think the save will be in My Documents.
For NTSC covers I'm not too sure...
I'm thinking of putting a choice at the start (game region: PAL / NTSC / JAP)
And the program will try to download in FR then in EN then in other languages to have more chances of getting a cover!

for the path, it would be simpler to choose C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Bureau\covers\ or directly C:\covers\

eventually, after allowing it through the firewall :mrgreen: it downloads but I don't know where :|

C:\covers is a good idea.

Thanks a lot, really good idea. However, as you pointed out, for certain games (colin 2 for example) it doesn't get everything, so I took your idea ;) actually your download.exe file, and I created a .bat script to go fetch all the languages.

FR then if it doesn't exist US and EN so in the end we can download everything ;) I also included in my script a small summary at the end of what was downloaded.

I'm going to try to set it up so that at the start I have the option to have the downloaded files placed directly onto the wii (of course the wii will be on ;) and ftpii running)

If you want I can send you the script.

However I'll probably redo it from A to Z avoiding using your download.exe file and using a built-in windows command ;)

Once again, great idea.

Works great. :bravo:

another idea. e.g. look for the page https://wiitdb.com/Game/RMCP01 if error or missing show a message.
anyway I'm saying that without knowing if it's possible :mrgreen:
