Wii WBSF files - Cover Art & Titles

[c74ck1]

Hi! I have double connected my external harddrive to my Wii and my PC (for LB use). I have successfully loaded my WBFS files into LB and can load/play them. My only issue is LB does not recognize the WBFS naming convention to successfully pull in the correct cover art and titles like WiiFlow does on the Wii. I would prefer not to convert the WBFS files and rename them all due to space saving efforts on my hard drive. Is there any work around to have LB successfully recognize the WBFS naming convention and pull the correct cover art and titles? Thanks in advance!

As far as I know, Launchbox can't handle the WBFS naming convention. I can tell you what I did ages ago and it worked for me. I had a full file listing of all the known Wii WBFS file names and the associated 'real' file name, example: R5PE69 = Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I wrote a script to create shortcuts that used the long file names in the shortcut naming and the shortcut pointed to the WBFS files. I imported the shortcuts in Launchbox which allowed scraping using the long name, but ran the actual WBFS file. Hope this all makes sense.
