Hacking WiiFlow 4 The Masterpiece Pack by Abz

[AbdallahTerro]

How about some for WiiMC and WiiXplorer (which by the way is spelled wrong in your pack [WiiExplorer])?

why add everything to source, homebrew stuff can have their own full covers in homebrew mode

Just the few I use often, it used to make it easier to find, but now that so many systems are emulated, that list is getting big too.

I think there may also be a memory issue with your r1054 mod.. it was booting channels, and then stopped.
Also it seems to have made me lose all my custom GensPlusGX covers.
The covers are still in the folder "boxcovers/gensplus",
I also tried deleting the "cache/gensplus" folder, and then running the Wiiflow setting
"Reload Cache" which usually makes it recreate all it's .wfc files, however it will not recreate them, and they are defaulting to the system default cover.

Any ideas how I can fix this issue? They were previously all displaying fine.. (games still play properly).

 

[AbdallahTerro]

use old wiiflow rev to rebuild cache
like 4.0 or 4.1
once the wfc files are there they will work fine
I have my wfc files since 2 years, never had to delete them

SOLVED!! *

I'm trying to setup Quake to run and I keep getting a black screen, then it goes back to Wiiflow.

I installed the .PAK files (uppercase) and expansions.

Quake/PAK0.PAK 17.3MB (18,165,727 bytes) [bad]
*Quake/PAK0.PAK 17.8MB (18,689,235 bytes) [good]
Quake/PAK1.PAK 32.6MB (34,257,856 bytes) [good]
Quake/hipnotic/PAK0.PAK 33.8MB (35.527.205 bytes) [good]
Quake/rogue/PAK0.PAK 104MB (109,117,652 bytes) [bad]
*Quake/rogue/PAK0.PAK 36.1MB (37,875,279 bytes) [good]

Do I need to manually install one of the Quake engines?
QRevPAK, Quake Wii, QuakeGX

Also which is your loader based on?

*UPDATE: My PAK0.PAK was bad, updated with a working copy.
..and I see you are using TyrQuake through retro-arch.

PS: Will this support other expansion packs, and will it support Quake II & it's packs?

Tried going back to version 4.1-r436, but it still will not re-load my Sega GensPlusGX covers..
Have any other suggestions I could try?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

double check the paths

 

[RiCK420]

double check the paths

GensPlusGX app is @ usb1/apps/gensplusgx/boot.dol
.png covers are @ sd/wiiflow/boxcovers/genplus
cache location (cleared) is @ sd/wiiflow/cache/genplus
roms are @ usb1/genplus/roms

config.ini is saved @ usb1/genplus/config.ini & sd/genplus/config.ini

• Can you spot anything wrong with my setup?

(I wanted to have it all on the USB HDD, but it seems like some settings want to default to being saved on SD. ..and the covers seemed to only work from SD)

 

[AbdallahTerro]

check genplus stuff in wiiflow\plugin folder and see the paths inside that file

Thanks so much, that fixed it.

Apparently you have renamed the coverfolder from "genplus" to "genplusgx".
It reloaded all my old covers now.

Thanks!

SOLVED*

I want to replace an image on the Source Flow "full_covers", the WiiMC cover..
I tried placing the cover in the "full_covers" folder, but it keeps using the small icon picture.
Is there a cache file I need to remove to get it to see the new picture? (are the images case sensitive as well?)

Thanks.

* sd/wifflow/cache/sourceflow/

PS: Hope you don't mind me asking so many questions getting everything to work.. but I do try to make the post useable for anyone with the same problems/questions in the future, and always update my questions with the solved answers to benefit others, when I've found an answer.

I always think that too, I use WiiXplorer spelling with all my icons/covers. I would even change the title with customizemii if I had to, in order to use certain channels I liked. WiiXplorer ftw.

I've added the 4 latest wiiflow dols with WiiUpro and Ds3 support in this folder:

Needed a nice cover for WiiXplorer. Thanks

Users may ask: What's the difference among these different versions and which one I need to use?
1076-mod and 1054-base-mastermod both have WiiUPro, PS3-DS3, Latest nintendont and ability to play Wii, GC, Emulators and Wiiware
1076-mod has fixed trailer support with soundtracks
1054-base-matermod has more stability when it comes to launching games in general (Wii and Wiiware mainly)
both 1054 and 1076 has an HID option in game settings
HID-on vs HID-off is only different "default" option for HID, this makes it practical when we have many games and we don't want to change this setting for every game

So in short 1076-mod is recommended only for trailer users
1054-mastermod for all users

1054-mastermod hid off will become the default dol in the masterpack when I update it next time,
HID off because I believe BT (WiiUPro, CC, CCP and Nunchuck) will be used more than USB-HID controllers
The other dols will be available in "_Alternate WF Dols" folder for the sake of completion

Dang Abz, love how u have all variables covered for a user with WiiFlow. Hopefully fix94 can find some time to work on WiiFlow so at the most u only need 2 but preferably just 1 would do magnificently.

making HID an ini entry and fixing trailers for 1054 will leave us with just one dol, will try this soon

 

[VeryConfusedGentleman]

Can someone please help me out. I cannot figure out how to get this pack installed. I'm getting very frustrated and confused. There needs to be some sort of how to install it for dummies or something.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

HID is now a global wiiflow.ini setting
just add/edit
usb_hid=no
or
usb_hid=yes
under [DML] section

1054-based Mastermod: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/101209384/ds3/WF1054-base-MM-HID-global-ini.7z
1076-mod: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/101209384/ds3/WF1076-mod-HID-global-ini.7z

Please test and see if anything is wrong

Just download the large pack 7z file (~200MB) and extract it as is to the root of SD or USB device
Can't get any easier than that
