Where you able to use dml in Wiiflowmod4, FIX94? Wiiflow doesn't even init the drive with GC loading it just turns off the Wii.
do you have a retial disk in the drive and the proper dml mios wad installed?
I do, my main problem is my disc drive is broken, I can insert a disc but it won't be read, however Postloader can load my GC ISOs fine, so why can't Wiiflow do the same? I use Wiiflow for Wii games so it would be great if I could use it for GC too.

The drive doesn't need to be inited, I tried it out. It just need to have a disc inserted as I wrote in the changelog.
Well yes and it doesn't get inited in Postloader either, so why does it keep turning my Wii off...

It's not split :P It's my (more or less) private google code and we'll soon sync it with the normal wiiflow page, I just will keep committing there because of more bugs and stuff, I don't want to break things you know. It's the first time I code in c++ so I still make many mistakes.

haha, thanks man. :P didnt know there was a guide, sorry.

edit: well that guide didnte tell me much that i didnt already know. i guess what i should have asked is, with your new wiiflow dml mod how do i select the GC isos? they are converted and on the SD and i have the wad installed etc. i guess im an idiot :( i must be missing some simple step.

does this use the copy from usb method like postloader can? i assume not, but figured i'd ask anyway. it would be helpful on my bedroom wii until i get a bigger memory card in there.

Great work, FIX94! I was curious if this version still supports NAND emulation? I've had no luck with my Wii recognizing my NAND dump (USB1:/NAND/, d2x cIOS 249 v7 final).

no issues here guys, emulated nand features work just as well as they did before. maybe wiiflow isn't set to see it. try loading wiiflow, when at the wii game selection flow press B on the button where you would switch to emulated NAND / homebrew / GCN. maybe its looks at your real NAND, I'm remembering that it says to press B on it to switch to emulated NAND, also check your config to ensure its set to the proper directory.

This is from the Wiiflow wiki "open the wiiflow.ini located in apps/wiiflow. Scroll down to [NAND] and change "path=" to "path=/nand/". You can now launch WiiFlow and press the "B" button on the channels icon to enable the emulated NAND. If it gives you the message to change your partition, select the right one where your emulated NAND is."

Worked like a charm for me, Just change the path in the ini and press the B button on the Channel Icon.

What I need to know is how to show my USB homebrew apps. I have r21 and it is on my SD, and is the only app, how do I Get my USB apps to show, cause that's where my Emulators n such are.

Also is it possible to Get to the system menu of my Emulated nand through wiiflow, I only ask because without the internet configured I cannot download the covers for my emu nand wiiware and vc,

getting in the system settings can only be done on the "real" system menu, ie from the real nand or NEEK emulated nand. you cannot change your settings in Wiiflow for your Wii system. try pressing A on the button to switch between wii games/homebrew/emu nand/gc games, i'm pretty sure homebrew will show up. it does for me anyway.

Figured out how to find the usb apps, just had to be on the homebrew apps list and go to setting partition usb....

DML seems to work great Thanks.

Thanks for the help, but I'm having no luck getting it to work on WiiFlow/Mighty Channels/Triiforce/USB Loader GX/WAD2ISO forwarders. I have a hunch it's an issue with the IOS. I've tried in the 'nand' folder and root of my drive on a USB and SD card and have changed the correct settings for all of those programs. I've also tried using my full NAND dump and a minimal dump from ModMii... and I still get errors messages or black screens for all of them.
