Hacking WiiFlow 4 The Masterpiece Pack by Abz

[GreyWolf]

mm!!
looks like Copy.com no longer accepts http requests (all links work fine in internet browsers though)
so we need another host, until then all the links are down (custom banners for usb loaders and nintendont themes)

any ideas or help is welcome

Did you try sending the request with a user agent string from a browser like Firefox?

Did you try sending the request with a user agent string from a browser like Firefox?

what's a user agent string?
when click, say, links in my sig they all work fine from firefox

what's a user agent string?

It's one of the fields in an HTTP request header. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent#User_agent_identification
Copy.com may have started checking to see if the requests are coming from a known client.

You might be able to get it working again by changing line 165 in network/http.c from this

char* headerformat = "GET %s HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: %s\r\nUser-Agent: WiiFlow 2.1\r\n\r\n";

to this:

char* headerformat = "GET %s HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: %s\r\nUser-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0\r\n\r\n";

That should make copy.com think it's Firefox requesting the file.

Thanks
I'll try it out

can we do the same thing for nintendont too (no headerformat in http.c there)!?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

unfortunately it didn't work

 

[Drak0rex]

Sorry, wrong thread.

 

[GreyWolf]

unfortunately it didn't work

Sorry, it was worth a try, though.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Sorry, it was worth a try, though.

yeah no biggie
same thing happened before with dropbox public links, now I'm out of options Copy.com was really a good site with 20gb free quota

Im really enjoying wiiflow on my Wii. It has brought new life to my console. But there is one and only thing left that's annoying me. I talked about it in an earlier post:

abz I have an issue: when I'm in the "Select Source" menu and I enter my "mame+retroarch" channel it sometimes selects the USB as partition and other times looks for the SD.

It depends on the channel I was inmediately before, if I was on my "sega CD" channel, which has its source from the USB, it will look for the USB. If I came from the "SNES" channel with SD source then it will look for the SD.

I don't know if I explained myself but, do you know a possible solution? I want this channel to keep looking in the SD.

and abz told me to try with this:

mm no idea it's plugin related. it checks for path on sd first, you can rename the sd folder or move it to usb

but I haven't been able to locate the problem. Well it only happens when I merge several magic numbers separate by ",". If I previously entered a channel looking for roms into the usb, then a channel with two or more magic numbers will try to look into usb, even if they are suposed to look into the SD. This brings you the screen with "select partition" message.
Curiously, if you exit, go to a channel with rompath looking to the SD (with only a magic number) and then you enter the chanel with several magic numbers, it works again showing the games.

Does this happen to anyone?

I am testing this out and I have some problems Abz. Basically I'm using your premade nand pack for 4.3E on my pal wii. I've followed the guide from the new website and have neek2o on my real nand which switches successfully to your premade nand system menu on usb, which has gamecube disc channel, postloader, wiiflow, return to real nand etc. I have filled your nand with less than 200 NTSC vc and wiiware games and downloaded covers in wiiflow.

The problem is that although I can see and play the vc and wiiware channels from your premade nand's system menu neither postloader nor wiiflow will play these games (even Mario 64 black screen freezes the Wii and I get sent back to fake nand system menu). In postloader I cannot even see any channels, it just shows blank tiles or the homebrew on my sd card. What am I doing wrong?

PS - I realise that not all NTSC games will work, but Mario 64 definitely should and does from system menu. Majora's Mask/Neo geo Final Fight/pokemon snap, puzzle league, bomberman hero work from system menu, but not postloader/wiiflow. As you know we can only see 40 or so games from system menu so I really need to get postloader/wiiflow sorted. I installed mighty channels wad to your nand too, but whether I select real nand or usb nand it kicks me back to your nand's system menu.

PPS - The reason I am using NTSC games is because I want to play the best version of games, which for older generations tended to be the American version. If i use an American system menu then i will get red tint problem because i use rgb scart.

Any advice you or anyone can give to help me to play NTSC VC/wiiware games on my PAL wii would be gratefully appreciated.

why not launch the wiiware from real nand's wiiflow/postloader directly. you don't need to use neek2o option for most titles

 

[ploder]

Because I want to keep my real nand clean of out of region vc/wiiware games and reduce wear and tear of real nand. I want it self-contained on USB. Why isn't your emunand postloader seeing the channels and why is emunand wiiflow 1054 seeing them but black screening?

I didn't say you have to install the WW on real nand, but launch wiiflow from hbc or via forwarder on real nand,
select the nand path in postloader and rebuild the cache
as for wiiflow try changing you start up setting (cIOS to 249 or 250) also try different IOS for WW in game setting
your syscheck might make me guess less and point your specific issue

 

[reprep]

Can anyone boot Skies of Arcadia NTSC-U from WiiFlow-MMOD? I am using 1054-Mod. It is the only gc game refusing to load, i tried all of the video options. It works fine when loaded via nintendont's loader.

 

[Drak0rex]

I know of a dirty workaround, regarding your current file hosting problem, involving Dropbox, and a modified version of Wii Browser in combination with a plugin capable loader such as Wiiflow. If you can't find a better solution, PM me.

Oh I see, sorry for misunderstanding. That sounds like a good alternative.

I already had postloader 4.6.1 and Wiiflow 1054 on my real nand so I did the following in real wii homebrew channel without success:

1. In real postloader it can't see the channels either. I went down the bottom of the screen to make the menu appear and I went to config and 'change uneek nand'. I get the error message:Cannot open sd:/ploader/plneek.dir uneek nands folder must be in usb:/nands or plneek.dol isn't in sd root or priibootder.dol isn't updated (0.0).

2. In real Wiiflow 1054 I went to nand emulation settings and changed nand path to usb:1/nands/pln2o (the same path as your fresh nand pack that has all the vc and wiiware installed via showmiiwads). When I exit and reload wiiflow it carries on showing my real nand and not the pln2o nand.

I just thought I'd point out that I have two nands on USB. One is in /emunands (which was created via wiiflow, that I use with cfg loader and usb loader gx and just has my gamecube and wii game saves from before I started tinkering with wiiware/vc) and /nands/pln2o (which is your fresh pack).

for postloader go ahead and post the error in Postloader thread or fresh install Postloader
as for wiiflow you have 2 sources realnand and emunand both can be selected from source menu, emunand path is saved after changing it in settings and launching any game
or by editing wiiflow.ini
In game settings (nand modes) you have "launch with neek2o" option, use this for games that doesn't work
you can also try changing game IOS to 222, 223 or 224 hermes have better compat with WW/VC

 

[Serfrost]

I keep getting a lot of random DSI errors while browsing my games, or pulling them up. None appear to be corrupted, and they have all loaded fine.

I also come across one every now and then while going through my options.

Attempted to clear all cache, but it doesn't seem to help...

I only care about this mainly because it's pretty loud when it happens, and it freaks the kids out.

How many games/ covers is there

 

[ploder]

Ok abdallahTerro, I posted in postloader, but haven't had a reply about why it can't see and display my emunand channels yet.

In my real nand wiiflow 1054 when I change emunand paths to usb/nands/pln2o I still only see my real nand and not the emunand with the vc and wiiware games.

In your premade pln2o pal nand with wiiflow installed I can see the emunand games in your wiiflow (booted from fake system menu) but it doesn't let me change to any ios other than 58. It is on auto by default, but let's you change to 58. Once changed it's stuck there.
