What is it?

This is a collection of some handmade, simple and tidy (nearly official-like) cover images and many others for VitaHEX Games' HexFlow-Launcher and JimBob4000's RetroFlow-Launcher, two fantastic launchers made available for Sony PS VITA. In addition you will also find some backgrounds suitable for both Launchers.

Note to YOU ALL:

Thanks to the community nearly ALL games are "covered" with this collection - as well as most homebrews!

Note for latest HexFlow-Launcher update:

You don't need to manually copy the covers over to your SD. HexFlow-Launcher has a built-in "Scan covers and update" option which makes it easy for you to update all available covers on the go.

Hint for Homebrew covers not showing:

You have to manually set the category to "PS Vita" by entering settings of the game via triangle-button - otherwise the cover won't show up!

Custom Backgrounds

You have just to copy them over to "ux0:/data/HexFlow/" and rename the background you like to "background.png".

A .PSD file for Adobe Photoshop is available too, where you can create your own covers in 250x320! I always export them as 256 color .PNGs to save space - Have fun!

hexflow-covers's Issues

TitleID change for Super Mario 64

The port of Super Mario 64 underwent a TitleID change, going from SM6400001 to PCSE64001, causing the automatic cover download to no longer recognize the game and not download the cover. Is there any way to fix this?

Cannot download ZX Spectrum Covers

Retroflow cannot download ZX Spectrum covers on my Vita, it only finds 2 game covers (Cookie and Chequered Flag). If you look in the retro covers section on github, these two games are named cookie.png and chequered flag.png along with an additional duplicate files using the normal naming convention with company in brackets. So basically its just detecting these two .png s and ignoring everything else. I have manually downloaded all covers and put them in the correct folder in retroflow and after rescanning it does not detect any of them. Any ideas on this problem?

Attached cover update pack for PS Vita

Hi again,

Hope you're well.

I've attached a PS Vita cover pack to bring the repo up to date with the ones I added for RetroFlow (mostly covers for ports).
There shouldn't be any duplicates if you decide to add them.

Thanks
