Abdallah is it possible to put the full HomeBrew covers in your Masterpiece Wiiflow for download?

Abdallah is it possible to put the full HomeBrew covers in your Masterpiece Wiiflow for download?

It would be best if these full homebrew covers make it to the gametdb, they will take so much space, many needs renaming and most of the ppl will only need a few of them.
you can make a request in the official thread here: http://gbatemp.net/threads/gametdb-game-information-database-covers.164945/

Hopefully this isn't too much of a noob question, but is there a way to configure wiiflow (in real nand) to load GC games through neek2o, like you do the normal emunand games?

It seems partially alluded to in:

"Neek app files: In case di menu fails to launch GC/QF correctly i.e. wii shuts down replace 000000008.app file (i.e. Neek BC executable) with the one here - You can use just one at a time."

However, I don't see a way to have it automatically jump into emunand and then launch the GC game- it seems you have to enable GC visibility in the wiiflow ini, then manually jump to neek2o and launch.

No you can't directly launch GC in neek mode from real nand
However, the "on the fly" mios switch feature allows running GC, QF with the games either on SD or USB and Backups including multiISO from real nand.
It's a smart solution for the GC/QF mode that also works with the Triforce plugin
So basically there is no need anymore to use neek2o for GC or QF

Hmm... First of thanks for this awesome pack. Now i've managed to set everything up and it all seems to be working fine. However i have noticed one really annoying problem.

When i load up postloader inside the emunand and start up the WAD Manager i can not exit the program. It's always stuck on the "restarting wii" portion. So i need to do power down the wii manually.

It doesn't happen when i use the WAD manager program from the homebrew channel or through postload through the homebrew channel on the real nand.

Is there some setting i am missing to fix this? Or shouldn't i be opening it at all from inside the emunand?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

No this is a known issue, you can try another wad manager (there is a "wad manager gui edition" that i believe exits fine) or even better and faster use a PC tool "showmiiwads"
Edit: here's the wad manager in channel form (not forwarder) for you to try:

P.S> use the latest neek2o which is included in my masterpack ("sneek" folder)

 

[Haur Hugstari]

Thanks i will try it out.

I've just updated the source menu by adding the new "Internet bookmarks" plugin and reorganizing all the button positions.
Changelog:
Wii/GC and parents on page 1
Nintendos, Segas and all childs are now organized better for ease of navigation
Music/Movies/Bookmarks maved to last page (games first )
3 Retro plugins also on last page since these have alternates and can be replaced by new plugins later
Hope u like the new look

Ok a tiny tweak,
After the explanation about the different NEC consoles I replaced TG-16 with Super-GFX and made a new icon and missing cover and a new wiimednafen rom folder "SGFX"
this will keep PCE and SGFX roms separated
So now all PCE roms are running with PCE-Retro from \wiimednafen\roms\pce
while SGFX roms run via Mednafen from \wiimednafen\roms\sgfx
SGFX still has the same magic number as TG-16

I've also tested PCFX via mednafen and added a working bios file to wiimednafen folder
Done with NEC

 

[AbdallahTerro]

If all is cool I'll make a new pack with all the new stuff.
I'll also update Carbo-Abz theme.
Thanks

Is there a very noob friendly guide to installing this pack? The guide here seems to assume that the user has a better understanding of the processes than I have. There are so many files and .zip files within .zip files, I'm getting lost. My goal is to install all of the emulators and have the roms stored on the 1tb partition on my 1.5 tb hdd. Wii games are already working fine on a separate partition. It's been about 2 years since I remodded my wii with modmii. Should I start from scratch? What's the best approach.
