You mean to say, using ShowMiiWads to add your game.wad files into an EmuNand, right??
Then have WiiFlow load the nand and see the games and download covers etc.??

I used ModMii to make up a blank emunand with 4.3U, no extra channels...
Then had ShowMiiWads load the folder up where the new emunand files were. After that, put all the game.wad files you want to install into a single folder, have ShowMiiWads "ShowMiiNand" right click anywhere in the file structure and choose "Install file" and find your game.wad and it installs into the emunand as a channel.

I save my "nands" folder on the root of my USB drive...like so

As you can see I have one for each system, ALL are VC titles (and WiiWare titles) from the WiiShop, so they're all wad files, installed as channels in each nand and shown as Games in WiiFlow. Just make sure your WiiFlow settings and paths are all correct, and VOILA!

**I know, I know,....worst guide EVER!!**

Here's a video I did recently when a few friends asked me, "Why do you spend so much time on that thing?" So I was just kinda showin off WiiFlow LoL

Excuse my country-ass accent lol :shy:^_^

Hey guys, my individual game options screen isnt showing any more,...

When i hit A to select the game, it just shows buttons for Play or Back, no game settings button

I thought maybe it was a theme issue, but it does it with a default theme too.

Use the nunchuck z or c button to take a screenshot. It will be saved in wiiflow screen shots i believe. Post the pic here

This is the big banner or full screen banner. (n64 vc banners don't look like much). just click on the full screen banner and it will switch to the mini banner in the upper right with the buttons below it and the cover on the left side.

result.png


the picture below isn't even possible. especially via a full screen banner. the only way to view a back cover is to click on the front of the cover. but with a full screen banner the cover isn't even visible.

backresult.png


so if clicking on the full screen banner doesn't work - you might have to remove wiiflow_lite.ini and let wiiflow recreate it.

@FanNintendo have you tried this boot.dol i posted a while back.

Hi guys, having an issue getting this launched. When I attempt to launch Wiiflow Lite it gives the error "No cIOS found! cIOS d2x 249 base 56 and 250 base 57" yet syscheck shows an updated homebrew channel and properly installed cIOS. I've been banging my head against this one, trying to figure out what's wrong. CFG gives me an error - I'm trying to launch Wii games from an SD card (HDD isn't an option right now) - even though it worked for the same purpose about six months ago. I was wondering if a Nintendo update messed up my homebrew so my syscheck is below. I used the WiiFlow version from the OP. Any thoughts?

(note: I did reinstall all cIOS as well)

EDIT: Arrrrrgh, the minute I post for help I sort of figure it out. Turns out I was using the HBC Wii-U Forwarder that enables Gamepad support, which explicitly will break any apps that were not updated to work with it. Meaning, any loaders. I totally forgot about that. When I went directly into vWii, CFG and *old* WiiFlow worked. However, WiiFlow Lite gives me a black screen when booting into games still. I'll have to search the thread for that sometime, I feel like this has been talked about before.

@wintermute808 @blackb0x @Wiimpathy
I used the windows installer to download and install the latest devkitPPC (r35) and libogc 1.8.23
now i can't compile wiiflow 5.4.1.

I get the following error:

powerpc-eabi-g++.exe: error: C:/devkitPro/portlibs/ppc/include: No such file or directory

why can i compile with r30 and not r35? why is it looking in C:/devkitPro/portlibs/ppc/include for portlibs? and Dave where do I post questions or issues like this?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE:
I found in wii_rules that this line was added -
PORTLIBS := $(PORTLIBS_PATH)/wii $(PORTLIBS_PATH)/ppc

so I commented it out and sure enough wiiflow started compiling.
but when it got to the linking part I got some new errors:

I'm assuming this means libturbojpeg needs to be updated as well as libvorbisidec. but I have no idea how to do that or where to get updated ones. last time fix94 was gracious enough to compile a new version of libturbojpeg but that was a year or two ago and fix94 isn't around much these days. If anyone can help please do so. it will be much appreciated.

edit: libturbojpeg appears to be libjpeg-turbo.

I did everything by the book but wiiflow looks for the emunand from sd/nand/defaults
How to set to look in usb1/nand/pl_eu ?

You have to format your harddrive to fat32. If your hard drive is already fat32 go to wiiflow settings and change path to usb instead of sd.
