UPDATED - Wii Cover Downloader bash script

spookykid · 2010-07-21 21:21:38

Hi all,
I've made my own Wii Cover Downloader script (It just downloads covers no disk image, but you can add that . You need WWT (yaourt wwt-svn) install it, you also need to edit the script and change these values to match your preferences (by default the script will look for 'EN' 'US' 'JA' 'FR' 'PT' 'EN' 'DE' covers and download them to from where you run the script into the "images" directory):

COVER_LANGUAGE=('EN' 'US' 'JA' 'FR' 'PT' 'EN' 'DE') --> Wich Languages you want to search for covers (searches and downloads by order)
BASE_DIRECTORY="./" --> the Base directory
NORMAL_COVER_DIRECTORY=$BASE_DIRECTORY"images/" --> based on the base directory change "images" to whatever you like
DISK_COVER_DIRECTORY=$NORMAL_COVER_DIRECTORY"disk/" --> based on the base directory change "disk" to whatever you like (it's not implemented)
COVER_KIND="cover3D" #cover; coverfull; coverfullHQ; disc; disccustom; cover3D --> what kind of cover you want.

That's it, then run the script from a terminal.

--->IMPORTANT: RUN THIS SCRIPT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I HOPE IT'S OF USE FOR SOMEONE!

NEW VERSION: Small enhancements, now it's nicer to the eyes, less verbose

THE SCRIPT:

#! /bin/bash
#
# Wii Cover Downloader bash script
# written by spookykid buyapentiumjerk@gmail.com
#

# Edit these values to match your preferences
# -------------------------------------------

COVER_LANGUAGE=('EN' 'US' 'JA' 'FR' 'PT' 'EN' 'DE')

NORMAL_COVER_DIRECTORY=$BASE_DIRECTORY"images/"
DISK_COVER_DIRECTORY=$NORMAL_COVER_DIRECTORY"disk/"
COVER_KIND="cover3D" #cover; coverfull; coverfullHQ; disc; disccustom; cover3D

Since you need wwt, I guess that this is a tool for WBFS drives?

I use USB Loader GX and switched to FAT a while ago.

Hi Arm-the-Homeless,
yes, it's a small script to get all your backup IDs from your WBFS partitions using wwt. The script then gets all covers from WiiTDB using wget. I run this script on my SD card, when run checks for covers available on your "images" directory, if they don't exist then gets them from the internet. I know that USB Loader GX can download covers automatically but I don't have my Wii connected to the internet so I wrote this script to update my backups cover library.

PS - I use USB Loader GX also.

Arm-the-Homeless · 2010-07-22 14:55:42

Yeah, I don't have internet for my Wii either.

If this could use FAT partitions (games are traditionally in /wbfs/{GAMEID}.wbfs), I'd use it.

Hi Arm-the-Homeless,

well if you can copy this script to your WBFS partition there shouldn't be any problem. Remember to adjust your USB Loader GX config to be able to find your cover directory. Try the script and let me know about it

Arm-the-Homeless · 2010-07-24 14:45:27

Well, I don't HAVE a wbfs partition. It can run games off of a FAT partition which was what I was saying.

spookykid · 2010-07-24 20:50:15

EDIT: Well I guess it will _NOT_ work, just found out recently you now can have Wii backups on NTFS partitions and this script expects you to have backups on WBFS partitions.
