Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[hicandturkey]

Quick question. I am getting a **DISABLED** message when I click on the Gamecube icon in the Source Menu after playing any of the Quadforce games. The gamecube loader is set to auto. Anyone know what could be causing this?

Still having this problem.
I'm curious, what is the benefit to setting up the Triforce games to use the DML plugin versus lumping them in with the other GC games? I setup the Triforce plugin in hopes that this would resolve the issue, but it did not.

Interresting... The problem doesn't seem to occur when I go through the WiiFlow forwarder. It only happens when Priiloader initially boots into WiiFlow. It almost makes me think I need to update the boot.dol that Priiloader uses... or just update Priiiloader... Idono. Thoughts?

Looks like you solved your own problem! I had a similar one yonks back which was solved by simply updating wiiflow in Priiloader - kinda felt a bit thick for not realizing it beforehand! Yeah if you update wiiflow and autoboot into it, remember to update the installed version in Priiloader too.

Can I actually load Priiloader with the most recent dol file? I thought Priiloader needed a specific one in order to work properly, or has that changed?
Also, I'm still curious what the purpose of the DMLBooter plugin is.

Not sure about DMLBooter - no time to check either as I'm off out on the lash, but yeah, any version of Wiiflow in Priiloader!

Well I updated the wiiflow dol in Priiloader which did help make things look a little better. Unfortunately, I still get a **DISABLED** message that pops up when I click on the Gamecube icon in the Source Menu.

Here are the steps I'm using to produce this issue:

1. Play any of the Mario Kart Arcade GP games using either DM or the DMLBooter plugin.
2. End game and restart Wiiflow.
3. Click on the Gamecube icon in the Source Menu (DM)
4. A **DISABLED** messages appears and I can't get into the Gamecube games.
5. If I use the Wiiflow forwarder, I can get into the Gamecube games fine. I also discovered that after playing a Wii game and then exited back to Wiiflow, I am able to click on the Gamecube icon again and I don't receive a disabled message.

The GC games are running from my USB drive and the GC Loader is set to Auto-Mios.

 

[mightymuffy]

Could be a bug I suppose! Monster hangover here so won't try checking until later in the day - Are your Quadforce games on SD or USB? Can be run via usb, though imo they don't run quite as well.... otherwise I've no idea. 'Tis but a minor bug anyway ehh...

A question for folks using the WiIFlow wiki site...

Currently we have the following URL's which redirect to:

https://sites.google.com/site/wiiflowiki4/

wiiflow.info
wiiflow.net
wiiflowiki.com
wiiflow.org

Wiiflow.com is owned by someone else and doesn't redirect to the Wiki site.

The domains are coming up for renewal and I'm wondering which ones I should renew.

I am thinking...

wiiflowiki.com

and maybe...

wiiflow.org

Any thoughts?

What's the point of watching a thread if I don't receive alerts to new postings? Thanks alot, GBATEMP!

sounds fine to me (both of them) my two cents

 

[MassiveRican]

bostonBC sounds good to me, I like wiiflow.info too but it's prob not used much so the .com and .org are more than enough, thanks btw.

in "Features"
"Launch Wii games from SD or USB device formatted to FAT32, NTFS, EXT2, and WBFS"
Wiiflow read also the file system ext3 and ext4...
and MBR ok, GPT not ok

fledge68 will need to make those updates, I just manage the domains that redirect to the wiki.

 

[kimotori]

Ext3=is ext2 + jurnaling also
Ext4=is a ext3 + extend also..

Ext4=is a ext2+journ+extend (+-)

Ext4 is read from loader without jurn+ext... also ext2 ...

Excuseme if aren t cristal..

EDIT:
Test 1TB usb3 in ext3 file system
An interesting verification made ​​me reveal that: for a few games (4/5) work well, while, with many games do not work well.
When reload the caches, wiflow r1072are going in loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop ...

and the hdd are... sleeping?

I'm use a WiiU /vWii

iv been trying to run wii games via wiiflow on my wii and it seems to not wanna work, i have dumped and gotten the games to work on my vwii but on my normal wii doesnt seem to like them

 

[halen]

mightmuffy I find out the problem with the Gamecube Icon disable. I reinstall the Dios mios.wad and now works fine for me. But a new problem: When i use the last wiiflow 1074.dol and i put i a new ROM and new cover i have a problem and the cover apear blurred. I fix it when i return to 1054 dol. I think 1074 have problems with cache or i am doing someone wrong.

 

[hicandturkey]

Halen, out of curiosity, how did you fix the game cube icon disabling problem? I'm still having the issue.

 

[halen]

hicandturkey I fix the problem with the new install of DIOS-MIOS.WAD. I bought a WiiU and i install all of wads that Wii mode need but i forgot to install DIOS-MIOS.WAD. When i install gamecube icon now works like a charm. I dont install DIOS-MIOS Lite and i move my wiiflow boot dol folder from USB to SD.

 

[mar789]

I've been having a problem with Wiiflow. Any update past r1045 gives me a code dump when booting. From there it just does an infinite loop of that until I hard reset. If anyone could explain to me why this is happening it would be much appreciated.

Also I was wondering if there was a way to hide the second disk of a Gamecube Game. I just don't like seeing the same cover twice and was hoping there was a way to hide it. Also I'm using Dios Mios if that's any help.

crashing might be related to your files. remove everything wiiflow related (or just rename it), this is known as a clean install. you may have a corrupted cache or something else thats not a huge deal but will impact wiiflow significantly.
