Hacking WiiFlow

[toss01]

[DragTom70]

I just saw it today, because I was busy on the weekend

I am so happy, I will try it asap and take half a day off work

Thank you so much Hibernatus

Cheers

Tom

PS: And then I will finish my WiiTunes theme with the "abble iDunes" (uhm, ) images..

EDIT: Tried it... Better than Sex

IT would be cool if the original disc channel sound would loop when it should loop. And a "cheat manager" would be cool to, you tick which code to use from a txt, and then it apply automaticaly.

 

[albanibr]

fantastic!!!!

Thank you for all your hard work.

so i like the bright look of the light theme
and i like the flow settings from several other themes
so i tried to edit the light theme file and paste some other flow settings there
but this doesn't work quite right. it only shows 2 different flows and it seems to be really slowed down
could anyone tell me what's wrong please?
this is my edited theme file:

You have to change the number coverflows in the .ini.

[_COVERFLOW]
number_of_modes=4

For example.

Does this loader support code downloading direct from USBgeckcodes.org and convert it into a .gct?
It's one of the reasons I choose (maybe I change it from now) Configurable USB loader.
If it is supported, see it as a suggestion;-)

 

[burritoboy9984]

so, any idea if you might be able to add the scrolling feature from configurable? it is REALLY nice to just point which way

doesn't seem as if it would be that hard to implement either...

Thanks in advance!

I seem to have hit a snag that is similar to dsfanatic5's problem, except, I use just one HDD. Here's something I can reproduce.

-Start Clean, delete wiiflow.ini.
-For testing, I didn't change global settings.
-Load a NTSC-U version of Little King's Story (seemingly, any NTSC-U game loads right up the first time) without changing the local game settings. It loads fine.
-Load the above game again. It still works.
-Then I load Okami PAL (or as it seems, any PAL game) giving the local game settings the usual tweaks (same tweaks that work in all other loaders.) The game black screens after the Please Wait, controller disconnects, etc. This is where I say, Ok.. I missed a local game setting.
-I recheck, and check, and try again. The game wont load.
*Video Mode: NTSC
*Language: Default
*Ocarina: Off
*DOL: main.dol
*Patch Country Strings: Off
*Error 002 fix: Off
*Vipatch: On
*IOS: Default
*Block IOS Reload: Off
*Patch Video Modes: None
-Now I return to Little King's Story. It now produces the same error. In fact, every game will now produce the initial error seen with Okami PAL.

Here's my wiiflow.ini before attempting to load Okami.

Another Scenario..
-Delete wiiflow.ini, clean run.
-Load Okami PAL (same game and settings from above.) The game loads.

*Ocarina: Off
*DOL: main.dol
*Patch Country Strings: Off
*Error 002 fix: Off
*Vipatch: On
*IOS: Default
*Block IOS Reload: Off
*Patch Video Modes: None
-Load Okami again, denied, game does not load.

Here's my wiiflow.ini after the first run of Okami PAL.

I've tried this both with data_on_usb=no & data_on_usb=yes, and it doesn't seem to show any change in error.

My Wii is 4.1U. I have a 1.5tb drive partition for 1tb as WBFS, cIOS222/223/249 installed, and a collection of games that are both NTSC-U and PAL. I'm watching this topic like a hawk, so if any additional information is needed, please ask away.

* * EDIT: Furthermore, it just seems to bug out when trying to load a second game with a pre-existing wiiflow.ini. Even with two NTSC-U games that require no setting changes. Game A loads great first, Game B will not, Game A will no longer run. Vice-versa.. Game B loads great first, Game A will not, Game B will no longer run. Please advise.

Same here, I love the look-a-like "Starlight" theme! Seriously, who made that theme?!

Hibern, thank you for providing the best loader!

Why the hell do you want to add features from other loaders ?
wiiflow is wiiflow , if you want these features , just use configurable......

 

[burritoboy9984]

Because that is one feature I find people REALLY like... I never said I want this to be exactly like configurable... just asking for a feature that I have found people like

Fantastic loader...better more beautiful and faster than many nother including Nintendo classc menu.
It s definitly the ultimate USB loader for Wii !

Hey we ALL hope about a similar Gui for launching Wiiware/VC from USB emulated NAND instead of this AWFULL Triiforce Gui...

I guess people can use 80% of Wiiflow GUI to make a decent Triiforce Wiiware/VC USB NAND emulator Gui !

MAYBE we can hope a Gui that include BOTH : scanning and displaying DVD backup from USB/WBFS and scanning & displaying VC/Wiiware from USB NAND from FAT32 partition.

This will be the REVOLUTION if the two projects are merged and use Wiiflow FANTASTIC, FAST and USEFULL Gui !

Good job and keep the Wii scene alive !

I'm just wondering why there is no reset menu / button / shorcut etc to reset to default theme from ANY theme cause some theme don't let u going back. It s a pitty to have to edit the .ini from PC to setup DEFAULT setting and theme. Maybe I miss something ?

 

[WhiteWingedKnigh]

Does this have Alternative Dol Loading? The loader just looks simply UHHH MAZING!

 

[Hyaku Shiki]

I just saw this and want to install it.

I'm confused on the .wad files.

Is this correct:

Forwarders (obviously)
Spayrosam Forwarder-SRFW
WiiFlow Forwarder-WFHL.wad
Wiiflow StarNight Channel Forwarder-WSNF

Channels
Wiiflow IOS222-WFHH.wad
Wiiflow IOS249-WFHW.wad
Wiiflow StarNight Channel IOS222-WSNH.wad
Wiiflow StarNight Channel IOS249-WSNW.wad

Thanks

If you hold B and press the Home button, WiiFlow will reset the loader. I downloaded the Full version, and it came with Controls and Readme instructions explaining this. As for not being able to change themes, I'm not sure, since I haven't had that problem. I'm only using the themes that came bundled in the Full download, and I can enter the options, change the theme, and when I click the "back" button, WiiFlow automatically resets and displays the new theme.

I can't get this to work with GH5. I am using IOS223 and the 002 error fix in configurable USBLoader and it loads fine. Try those same settings in here and it does not work. I've tried numerous combinations of settings and can't get it to load. either get the 002 error or a black screen when I try to load the game.

I had the same problem, used 222 instead of 223 and game works great (but didnt try with USB instruments as I have GH instruments). Same with Beatles game

Sure..before launching a game, after you chosen one...try to click on it's settings.
You'll see Alt-Dol option. By default is main.dol.
