I have my softmodded wii. I use usb loader gx to play my games. I understand that you cannot download covers throu that. This is not my issue. I have no covers on my wii and would really like them. I use wbfs 3.0 I just recently updated that. I had a older version but that wbfs stopped working so I downloaded the 3.0 one. I was reading all over trying to find some ideas how to do this. I go to documents, wbfs manager covers. There are a bunch of them there. I have no idea how to get them on the wii thou. I tried to browse for them. There not there. I try to drag them onto wbfs, Nothing. What am I doing wrong. I thought they were going to just go where I needed them to apparently not. I would really appreciate any advise that you guys can give me. Thank you in advance

You can do that also with USB Loader GX so why should he change!??!
I use it as well and it works fine for me...all the games work for me.
I also have Configurable USB Loader but the background sucks ass.
I don`t like the way its set out, looks terrible. As for USB Loader GX has a much more clean proffesional look and it still does what other loaders do.

A question though.... what about Wiiflow? And which one is the best out there.
I haven`t tried Wiiflow yet.

Alright heres what I did. This worked. I took my sd card out of my wii put in in my computer. Made a folder on it (Images) Then I went to wiitdb.com
I downloaded the regular game packs and the 3d game cover packs. I put all of the 3d game covers on the sd card in image folder. This worked. I tried with the ones that were downloaded from my wbfs. These ones DO NOT WORK. Does anybody have any idea why this would not work. I have it working now. The only other question I have now is. Where can I go to download the covers. Can I download them individually or do I need to get the packs. Thank you all in advance

To find out all your game id numbers download wiibackup manager and connect your wii hard / flash drive to the PC. Run wii backup manager and tell it which drive is the wii drive - all the games / names and id numbers are shown. Then search for the covers required.

usb loader gx will auto download game covers within the settings option. Look for the cog type wheel on the gx loader screen. click it and from there you can download covers and update USB Loader GX itself. (U do need your Wii connected to the internet for this to work)

at least my version of USB Loader GX works this way.

My usb loader gx will not auto download the game covers it pops a error every time I try. I do know my game id's and have gotten covers for all the ones I have now using "www.wiitdb.com" but the only question I have now is where exactly can I go to search for a cover. I downloaded a pack on this site and it had all of the games that I have in it. I am sure that eventually I will find a game that is not in this pack, can I search individual covers or only a pack. Other than that thank you all very much for your help I really appreciate it and sorry for taking up your time. Thank you again

The new covers for the week are available for download separatly from the whole master pack, but I dont think there is a way to get just a specific cover. You would have to check back each week and download the latest covers pack. It will contain more than one, but at least you wont be re-downloading covers you already have.

I'd get USB loader GX updated so it does download covers for you. Try updating it and then see if covers downloading works. I bet it does. I had the same issue with GX a while back. AS soon as I updated the covers downloaded fine.
