Hacking WiiFlow

[thebobinc]

very nice work , no glitch or bug so far , load game like guitar hero 5 , the background music that switch when you look at another game is very very cool , per game setting is also a good add-on ,

edit: work well with preloader as well

keep it up Hibern you rock HARD !!!

Which version are you using?
v1.0 cIOS249, v1.0 cIOS222 or v1.B?

 

[Skater4599]

I have issues with Version 1.0B as well

games that were working 100% now Black Screen, i tried all different combinations of IOS and settings 222 223 249 different Revs, the games work in all other loaders normal, i redoanloaded 1.0 and all the games work as normal again. Am i doing somthing wrong or is anyone else experiencing this with 1.0B?

I don't understand why we'd need a forwarder channel for choosing between 222 and 249. Seems completely useless and i suppose it takes a little more time to launch wiiflow.


Actually, after incorporating it into my hybrid channel/forwarder for Configurable USB Loader, it takes no more time to load into the loader than normal....simply passing the command to load specific IOS to the dol. It works out nicely for the channel (since it is meant for situations in which you have no configuration files on the SD or USB) and works equally as well for the forwarder. I guess it just eliminates the need for "special" 222 versions to have to be compiled, and a good option for the incredibly lazy at best

Good job on 1.0B. Glad to see the ehcmodule from Hermes v4 incorporated. I have yet to experience a black screen on any games as I had previously, but of course more testing is needed. Thanks for the update!

Heh, just got done saying that I did not experience any balck screen issues (yet). These games were working 100% in the 1.0 release? Which games are in question?

 

[Skater4599]

The games seemed to be random, but i could get MP3: Corruption to black screen everytime, mario kart and i belive punch out!! there may have been more but i switched back after those didnt work for me, and they 100% work again, ive never had an issue with those games until 1.0B

@Hibern: What is an "automatic "anti-002-fix" ?

The anti-002-fix is designed for older cIOS less than rev14.

QUOTE(tj_cool @ Sep 24 2009, 05:49 PM) Anti002 fix won't cause problems when you activate it (even when the game doesn't need it)
And Anti will automatically enable the "normal" 002fix

Someone's wrong here...I guess it's you, Narolez

I guess it's me...sorry

. This fix is needed for some new games like Ghostbusters, etc...(a "new" 002-Error, I think), and does also fix the normal 002 (like described above).

Anyways...I've been using this loader now for a few days, and it's realy stable, like promised

. All that I miss is to downoad and activate cheats, like CFG-Loader can...meh, but I can switch between those two...

Narolez is absolutely correct. Anti-002 is a method of stopping the internal 002 fixing (which was bugged) on older cIOSes so that the loader can use it's own 002 fix method. Rev14 does not have an internal 002 fix method, so enabling "anti" is not doing anything at all.

I have issues with Version 1.0B as well

games that were working 100% now Black Screen, i tried all different combinations of IOS and settings 222 223 249 different Revs, the games work in all other loaders normal, i redoanloaded 1.0 and all the games work as normal again. Am i doing somthing wrong or is anyone else experiencing this with 1.0B?

Thanks a lot for this quick report. This is what's annoying with this bug, it's volatile, so whenever i touch the code it moves, you get it and someone else doesn't have it anymore. I've tried as many games as i could and couldn't get that bug. I don't have enough free time these days to fix it, i think i'll be able to fix it next week.

Good job on 1.0B. Glad to see the ehcmodule from Hermes v4 incorporated. I have yet to experience a black screen on any games as I had previously, but of course more testing is needed. Thanks for the update!

It doesn't matter what game gets a black screen, the bug isn't related to it. It's puzzling, because nobody's found any bug in wiiflow itself or in games (excepting bad ehcmodule), yet there is that very random bug that can prevent any game from starting.
Wiiflow 1.0 had an ehcmodule designed for rev4 but it was the buggy one from uloader 3.0A, which i found in the source of 3.0B.

The anti-002-fix is designed for older cIOS less than rev14.

It's the patch without the parameter, if you have an old ios 249 and ask for error 002 fix, wiiflow applies the "anti-fix".
This option should be useless, people should update their cios, so it wasn't worth adding an option.

@Hibern - Thanks for your reply, im glad its not just me. You take as long as you need to fix it, i REALLY appreciate your amazing work!

 

[geedub]

funny thing is my black screens have gone !

i tested nearly 100 games and only one black screened , so one out of 100 tries is very very stable for me ! 1% black screen here


just to add i did delete the existing cache and also the ini file !
i also deleted ios 249 with ATD and reinstalled 38 rev 14 !

although i still cant get MPT ( 3 ) to work , but hey no great deal to me

superb as always Hibern

and a quick thankyou to Benjay aswell , your channel is excellent with your carbonik theme

 

[Benjay]

you're welcome

 

[Skizzo]

this loader is sick! loving the bg music add on

Me too. And hopefully, since Hibern isn't taking feature requests, a future developer can add the option to display song information and fade in/out the music when WiiFlow plays the banner audio.

I've just made the cleaner build of wiiflow.
Wiiflow 1.0C : http://hibernatus34.free.fr/wiiflow/wiiflow1C.zip
Changes : none, except it's cleaner. I was still using a wrong lib and wrong headers.
I've updated wiiflow1B.zip and uploaded wiiflow1C.zip, they both contain the same version in fact.
I'd like you to test this version until i get around to having another look at the code.

@Spayrosam (or whoever made the HBC logo for WiiFlow):

Is there any chance that I could have a higher quality version of the logo?? I tried vectorizing it, but it turned into a big blue blob (you cant even read "WiiFlow" on it)
Preferably around 600PX wide (450 at the least) - 800PX will be even better. (I am working on a surprise for Hibern - and I need a higher quality version of the logo to complete it)

 

[spayrosam]

I have not made the logo, I think it was oops or Jiiwah..

Oh, sorry, it was so long ago that it was released that I forgot who did... I thought since you did so much of like channels and stuff that you made it too...

 

[Oops]

hi, jceggbert5

I must have what you seek but I do not know where. I'll have to look for.

 

[spayrosam]

do you mean
