Hacking WiiFlow 4 The Masterpiece Pack by Abz

[MassiveRican]

Why not show fix94 or at the very least if there's a reason u won't/can't post it in the Nintendont thread still slightly on topic since in the end it would be for Nintendont users.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Fix94 doesn't have a PS3 controller and doesn't seem interested or at least is busy with other stuff atm
as for posting in Nintendont thread or in xerpi's sicksaxis thread, I have no problem with that and might do so soon if I'll keep failing at compiling

 

[AbdallahTerro]

ok some progress took place:
thanks to Dax, megazig and Fix I was able to compile a dol with libsicksaxis
it synced the controller
so we still need to add the buttons reading part to make use of all the sticks and buttons
which will take a while ofc

 

[MassiveRican]

Seems coding for WiiFlow is always more difficult than any any other loader lol.

Will this work with a Sixaxis Dual Shock 3?
I have one of those I am currently using for Nintendont.

HID_Test.dol may help? (download included)

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Yes this will make your sixaxis sync and work in wiiflow.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

ok, almost done now
with Fix94's help and lots of luck I was able to compile wiiflow with libsixaxis working and all buttons working:
Right/Left to navigate the titles, Left Stick to move the pointer, 2 A and 2 B buttons (square, triangle, circle and X), R1 L1 acts as 1 and 2 buttons to select flow, R2 L2 act as +/- to move skit 10 titles and Start acts as Reset
only thing that's still not working is a "home" button
I'll try tomorrow and hopefully have something to share with you
wish me luck

Here you go:
Wiiflow 4.22 Beta Rev 1075 Mod2

New Features
1. Support for latest and old nintendont autoboot
2. Removed Smart Controller detection for Nintendont and Added HID button in Game settings page 4

3. Added Libsixaxis DS3 controller now fully work (only bug still present is rapid button press which makes pressing home reset and pressing A directly launch the game)
However pressing A while using the L-stick and pointer works fine (you can use this to press the home icon and settings and select a title)

Fixing that rapid pressing response is beyond my skills, anyone is welcome to help
PS3-DS3 button map


4.P.S. MC Emulation is same as NMM on game settings page 3

I'll add this later to the zipped pack when the tiny bug gets fixed
P.S. you can get the updated carbonic Abz ini here (adds effect to hid button): https://www.dropbox.com/s/k03utsund6mu8jt/Carbonik Abz.ini

Special thanks to Daxtsu, megazig, Fix94 and airline38 for their help

So after several reports from both wiiflow and gx users that the custom banner download links are broken. I had a deeper look and found that dropbox direct links only work in https. However the homebrew apps only work with http links...
So I ended up creating a new repo at copy.com and updated the banner url
For usb loader gx users must change the url in glabal config file
As for wiiflow users must download v1075mod2 and delete wiiflow ini or at least delete the custom banner url link under general section.
I've contacted the devs to get this fixed in any future commits.

If I have one of your old master packs installed, what is the best way to go about updating that without messing up all my current custom settings?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

depends how old,
you can start by just updating wiiflow dol + imgs and bins folder (in apps\wiiflow folder)

 

[RiCK420]

Ok, so I updated my Wiiflow boot.dol, and upgraded the Carbonik Abz.ini (which overwrote my customized emuflows [but luckily I backed up my entire SDHC card first]). I did not yet update the entire master pack.

I enabled AUTOBOOT in Nintendont, but the Wiiflow still won't autoboot to the game I've selected.

it does one of 2 things...

1) With Autoboot enabled, it will always load the previous game I played after enabling the Autoboot, and not the game I've selected to load from Wiiflow.

2) Else with Autoboot disabled, it just loads Nintendont, but I still have to manually select the game I want to play, for the second time.


Am I missing something critical still?

I have the exact same problem if i load a gamecube game through wiiflow r1075 mod 2 with nintendont latest version it takes me to the SD/USB menu instead of autobooting the game.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

That's really weird, i never had isuues autobooting neither with mod1 nor mod2.
Also it doesn't matter what settings you use in nintendont since nintendont boots via argument when wiiflow launches the game
can you try the nintendont dol in the pack?
P.S I'm using 1.141 didn't check 1.142 yet but this shouldn't matter

Edit: did 1075-mod1 autoboot for you?

R1075 mod1 also did not work same issue, I hope i can figure this out i have been waiting for dualshock 3 support in wiiflow for ever. EDIT= I will try the nintendont dol in the pack and see if that works when i get home later.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

142 autobooted fine with mod2 here

 

[RiCK420]

Got it to work without changing anything else,
...except that I reloaded Wiiflow as the installed file in the Priiloader, because apparently it caches the installed file and was still using the non-mod r1075, and not the new one. It still shows only as "mod" though, and not "mod2", but never-the-less, it works now. Boots right into the game I chose, SO NICE!!! Thanks Abz!

PS: Hope this might help some of you others also if you launch Wiiflow from Priiloader.

PSS: I hope all of this makes it into the next official revision.

PPSS: I was so excited to boot directly into the game, I almost forgot about the Sixaxis Dual Shock 3 working, until i picked it up in Wiiflow and surprisingly it just connected and worked. Wow, great job, this is so cool!! Thanks again Abz!!

you're welcome, glad it worked for you.
you can check for mod2 in meta.xml or in homebrew channel
