Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[AbdallahTerro]

I'm sorry if this has been covered previously, but I have a small problem that i'm hoping I can find a solution to.

I have an external HDD attached with 112 game isos in folder wbfs. They all show up in Wiiflow and are all playable. If i add new isos to the folder, they don't show up in Wiiflow, no matter how many times I reload the cache.
If i put the isos on another USB thumbdrive and plug it in instead of the external HDD and then reload the cache they show up and are playable, no worries at all.
If i delete 2 of the working isos off the external HDD and reload the cache they are gone, but the new ones still don't show. If I put the previously 'exisiting' isos back on and reload, they're back again.
I've deleted the wiiflow folder on the root of the SD card, and restored the original wiiflow folder in the apps folder on the SD card - which then resulted in being prompted for location of games after rebooting and running wiiflow, but it still will only list the original 112 games.
Can anyone suggest how to fix this problem, please?

No experience with ISO files but all my 400 wbfs files show fine here
Maybe it's time to use WiiBackupManager and convert the ISO to wbfs,
You'll save lots of free space too

Does anyone here know why DOL would disappear as an option? I'm nearly running out of energy...

I've gone back to my Wii after a year trying to get WiiFlow to work with Skyward Sword. After all this time I noticed the videos and tutorials about changing the dol for boot, but my WiiFlow doesn't have this option.

I tried updating from 4.2.1 to the megapack, no option. I tried re-following all the ModMii steps, nothing. It just says category. I've googled far and wide and I've seen a lot of people ask why it's missing for them but no response.

If anyone knows, please share.

Going through the source code I can see where they setup the menu:https://github.com/FIX94/open-wiifl...29804da/source/menu/menu_config_game.cpp#L155

However judging by that code, the dol option should only be accessible to GC games. Not sure where this leads me...

Are you talking about Alternative DOL? that is way old school. no longer necessary ..... d2x cios takes care of that now with block IOS reload.

Where can I find block IOS reload? I don't see that option on wiiflow?

 

[fledge68]

there is no option in wiiflow. just make sure your meta.xml file has this line <no_ios_reload/>

It looks like it does have it! So, my next question would be, what am I doing wrong? Did I install the wads the wrong way? Do I need the d2x installer or can I use MMM?

I tried a syscheck earlier last night but I wasn't sure what I am supposed to be looking for there? What information would I need to keep an eye on?

Sweet thanks, I'll try this after work and respond back here. I'm really curious what the issue could be...we will see.

I gave the conversion to wbfs a go, but no change. It's like Wiiflow is saying "I'll only let you play the games from that hard drive that are currently on my list - no more new games for you!!"

It's very weird

Are you clicking "Update cache" after you add new games? Wiiflow doesn't scan the whole folder every time it boots.

Thanks for the reply GreyWolf

Yep, this is the details of what's happening:

I have an external HDD attached with 112 game isos in folder wbfs. They all show up in Wiiflow and are all playable. If i add new isos to the folder, they don't show up in Wiiflow, no matter how many times I reload the cache.
If i put the 'new' isos on another USB thumbdrive and plug it in instead of the external HDD and then reload the cache they show up and are playable, no worries at all.
If i delete 2 of the working isos off the external HDD and reload the cache they are gone, but the new ones still don't show. If I put the previously 'exisiting' isos back on and reload, they're back again.
I've deleted the wiiflow folder on the root of the SD card, and restored the original wiiflow folder in the apps folder on the SD card - which then resulted in being prompted for location of games after rebooting and running wiiflow, but it still will only list the original 112 games.

That's really weird. Is the partition FAT32 or NTFS?

External HDD & Thumbdrive are both NTFS

Another little strange detail - if i navigate to the iso files on the HDD via the Wiiflow file manager, i can start a game by 'clicking' on it...unless it's one of the new ones - then it does nothing :/

So I got home and ran a syscheck and pasted it below. I compared it with what is on the WiiFlow tutorial and it looks correct, yet I'm having this issue. Any idea what could be the problem?

Here is my SysCheck:

Solved it! It looks like forcing NTSC inside WiiFlow was the solution. Thanks to all for the help!

 

[tallpr24]

method to force GC games to autoboot directly in nintendont when opened via wiiflow? currently when i launch a GC game it brings up the default nintendont screen where i have hit a for usb or sd and then the list of GC games pulls up. I dont see any options in the wiiflow gui for autoboot ?

I'm using WiiFlow Master mod (4.2.3-r1054)
nintendont v3.324
on wii u--virutal wii
usb external hard drive fat 32, 32kb cluster

I am using WiiFlow r1076 and the latest version of Nintendon't. As long as you set in your global settings to have it run Nintendont to take care of GC games it automatically loads the games.

I've done and tested this on regular Wii's and WiiU's running under the vWii.

You are way behind on Nintendont versions... it is up to 4.423 now.
