Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[hicandturkey]

that noise has been around for a long time. when i messed with the themes a long time ago i took out the flip sound so it wouldnt make that annoying noise. but the new themes were updated by mamule and ayatus and they included the flip sound. its a flaw in wiiflow thats been there for a long time and apparently hard to fix. u could remove the flip wave from the theme and it should stop but then u wont have that sound effect.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one having this problem. :-) I renamed the flip wav file and that terrible noise stopped. I can definitely live without the flip sound if it means getting rid of the other noise too. Thanks a bunch man. It was driving me crazy.

Is it possible to distinguish between multiple versions of the same game in WiiFlow?

I intend to have multiple versions of SSBM. There are three revisions of NTSC, commonly referred to as 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. I also intend to have PAL, a modded version called SD remix, and maybe separate texture-hacked versions.

I'd like the ability to pick and choose within WiiFlow without having to delete or hide things on my HDD. Ideally, each would have unique cover art to inform which it is and each would have its own cheatlist to choose from.

Just need to name the ISO's or WBFS folders differently and you will be able to play them all.

I don't think that's sufficient. I tried that with two versions and I could not distinguish between the two in WiiFlow. Also, I couldn't play either.

The issue as far as I know is it identifies games by their ID, and the three versions all have the same ID.

If they have the same ID you need to make them unique... http://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-iso-gametitle-renamer.145064/

This is the only link that works to get it, it's a modded version that works with cISO's as well. Personally though I would use WIT over anything else. The choice is yours.

 

[todrick]

That did it. Thank you so much. I'm on my way to having the coolest Melee setup. I used the program from the thread, but I will download WIT in case I need it in the future.​

​

For anyone else attempting this, be sure to leave the game's System ID and region ID intact. Changing "GALE01" to "SSBM10" resulted in either a crash or the game playing in black and white, which is a result of it trying to play a wrong region game. I changed GALE01 to GALE10 for version 1.0 and GALE12 for version 1.2 and it worked flawlessly.​

​

Could I just hex edit the game's ID and title to accomplish the same thing?​

Any way to add categories without having to redo everything? I want to add "Beat 'em up" but if I do, I will have to reassign everything after that category, as the numbers will be different..

What settings/changes/additions have u made since the clean install? Also to make this a but more precise and quicker to debug, provide an SD or wifi log.

WiiU how to play GC games with nitendont
You can view the cover as USBloadergx, CFG
if yes how

Where can I find some good coverflows? Does WiiFlow only come with one by default? I'm OK with the default theme, but I would like a different cover flow, and I don't want to make it manually.

grab a theme from the wiiflowiki website, most of them have multiple flows. you can also edit a flow within the loader.

If only there was a thread dedicated to such things and there were people who cared to contribute... V_V

Lmao I could have sworn there was one created by some guy named Drakorex... Hmm I wonder what happened to it? Must have fell into the depths of obscurity ;P

For WIFI (taken from the readme in the tools folder on SVN, WifiGeckoReader can be found there too):

WifiGeckoReader allows you to view the gecko debug messages over the wifi connection. Only use this when debugging. There is no need to use it regularly. Set wifi_gecko=no when not needed.
It uses UDP port 4405.

To make it work with wiiflow, edit or add the following wiiflow.ini lines:

[DEBUG]
wifi_gecko=yes
wifi_gecko_port=4405

wifi_gecko_ip=your.computer.ipAddr.here
eg:
wifi_gecko_ip=192.168.0.199

Once this is done, run WifiGeckoReader, then run wiiflow. You should start seeing debug messages.

And for SD (this info i got from the wiiflowiki4 page):
To make it work with wiiflow, edit or add the following wiiflow.ini lines:

[DEBUG]
sd_write_log=yes

Short of a coding fix, you could have both - add a little (10's of milliseconds) silence to the beginning of the .wav file. Hopefully, there'll be a length of silence between not-hearing-the-glitchy-sound-anymore and the-slight-delay-before-the-flip-sound-starts begins to become annoying - so it may require a little experimentation and frankly, i'm not that fussed.

EDIT1: Just a thought, but if the wav file has been edited to start somewhere off the 0db line, it will always start with a 'pop' or a click, so editing to the next 0db crossing point, or adding a quick fade in, might solve the issue without the need for added silence.

EDIT2: I had a look at the waveform EDIT:1 is mostly bollocks, sorry.

Hi guys. Its probably been close to a year since I last used my wii. I hooked it up today and tried to play some wii games off of wiiflow but, none of them loaded up. The screen went black, the controller turned off, and about 10 seconds into it, the wii went back into the wiiflow (showing the wii games) and the remote came back to life. I remember having no issues before. I tried USB loader and the games loaded up fine. Is there something I need to update to get things working again through wiiflow? I've been out of the loop for so long I forgot how to do everything =[
