What would be the best format to archive the wii full set?

RVZ seems to be the standard because of it's size and because it works with Dolphin but it doesn't work with original hardware.

Going from RVZ to ISO isn't pratical, at all, because it will turn a 5~TB set into a 15TB one.
Even if compressing it back to WBFS or some form of shrink iso format.

Is there any option here that would work on original hardware but keep the size small as RVZ do?

Question on magic numbers.

For my setup i am creating some new magic numbers and using the Rhapsodii shima Theme , is there any other areas that you would need to update other than
1. adding the number to "wiiflow\plugins_data\platform.ini"
2. update the button ini "wiiflow\plugins\Plugin_name.ini"
3. update the menu ini "wiiflow\source_menu\menu_name.ini"

I have also added the datebase to give screenshots, descriptions, etc. for games to this setup.

Does anyone know a place where to check latest releases for homebrew?

Sorry to say, but Open Shop Channel is a mess and they never have fixed the web. Not only is not possible to filter homebrew by something as simple as release dates, but many of them were apparently released in 1970.

For example I wasn't aware that CleanRip was updated not long ago.

Hello, I hope you can help me.😫😫😫
In the following, I am sorry if the wording is incorrect (I am translating with transliteration)
I recently downloaded the game call of duty - black ops and I ran into a problem.
I used wii backup and divided it into 2 GB files.
I hashed the files and transferred them to flash (at first, I transferred the file with the wbfs extension)
After ejecting the flash and connecting it to the wii, it was working fine, the usbloader gx was able to read the game, but as soon as it entered the loading screen, it stopped moving forward.
Thank you for telling me what to do
Please simply tell me what to do
I am considering using the game via flash, but if it can be done with DVD, I have no problem (it doesn't matter if I run the game with neogamma or with usb loader gx, the game can only be run)😫😫😫
By the way, when I tried to install the game on DVD, it was installed on USB loader GX, but it did not open.
Thank you for guiding me with photos or videos or simply
Thank you for now🌷🌷🌷

Make sure it's formatted as MBR and fat32, plugged into port 0, try pressing 1 while in the hbc to toggle between sd and usb if u have multiple devices connected simultaneously, try updating your hbc using str2hax if hbc isn't v1.1.2 or higher using ios58, or if the wii is connected to wifi u can send syscheck's boot.dol to your wii via wifi using modmii to run syscheck and upload the report to share here

Hey! (May have posted my question in the wrong forum so I’ll post it here. Is it possible to have music change as you chance your source menu or even better is it possible To have a banner sound play continuous without starting over when selecting a game? An example would be: Wiiflow lite boots up, main menu appears, music plays song #1. I can select “consoles” from my 2 choices of “consoles or handhelds”. Now that I’m in the “consoles” section of Wiiflow, I select NES. If now I’m at the NES section showing games and I wanted a new song to automatically play just for this specific section, how would I go about that? Also if I click the game and the banner sound plays, I cycle to the left one game, the banner sound starts over. Is it possible to keep the banner sound music file playing while cycling games? (Basically want the nes Mario theme to play when I’m looking at NES games then would also like the nes Zelda theme to play when bringing the game in close, which pulls up the “play” button and the banner sound but would be neat if the Zelda theme would keep playing while cycling through games at this juncture without starting over each cycle if that makes sense lol.)

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
