Hi, I can just suggest you to come to our irc channel #wiiflow on abjects, if you don't know how to connect go here. There we can explain you everything.

Probably gonna sound a little lame here but with the default theme pressing 1 or 2 on the wiimote don't do anything. :( I installed WiiFlow and access it via a channel forwarder provided by the Mauifrog softmod on wiihacks.

You have placed the default.ini I linked earlier in wiiflow/themes?
Hi Fix, I just replaced the defailt.ini on my personal Wii, which had an original file size of 63kb with the one you were kind enough to post and that did the trick. Oddly enough though, on a couple of other Wii's I modded yesterday and the day before, it did not seem to make a difference. Anyway, thank you, it really looks amazing now.

Is there a function that makes use of the Wiimote motion as in Configurabel USB loader? Having to press the d-pad to get around is ok but I really like just being able to point to a specific direction or box that I want.

Hey Fix94 and the Wiiflow authors - I've created a mod of the wiiflow main menu (menu_main.cpp).

http://www.wupload.c...7/menu_main.cpp

It basically eliminates the need to have 4 sets of PNG images to change the Wiiflow view mode. Now you just need two.

Original Wiiflow:
usb.png, usbs.png, channel.png, channels.png, homebrew.png, homebrews.png, dml.png, dmls.png

My Wiiflow Mod:
Channel.png, Channels.png

In addition the notice message now displays what your looking at (USB Games, Real NAND, EMU NAND, Homebrew, DML Games) instead of what device.

This not only makes it easier for anyone updating old themes or making new ones but also shrinks the code for menu_main.cpp.

I was thinking of changing channels.png to view.png and using an eye for the image . Eye = view.

I used Wiiflow MOD r44 source code for my menu mod. Just thought I'd pass it on to see if you like it or not. If not then I'll just keep it for my own use. Keep up the great work!

Have you already removed wiiflow/cache, wiilflow/settings and apps/wiiflow/wiiflow.ini?
@fledge68:
Will take a look at it later on.

Is there a chance, that selecting the hermes cios (esp. 222) will be readded to wiiflow? Its the only cios, I get iso forwarders, created with wad2iso, to run with. I still use the forwarders due to the online functionality. Although wiiflow is my favourite loader and the nand emulation is rather good, I have to use cfg loader for that.

Use the latest d2x v8 beta R41. It works with ISO forwarders, I'm using them for Online WiiWare games myself.

Testing R27 - again I get Wii system files are corrupted...blablabla whenever I run wiiware from emulated nand (same settings as before) no matter what setting or IOS I use.
Any news about this problem?
I figured out the problem is caused by a missing cert.sys file from SYS folder.
Copying the file just fixed all nand emulation issues...

Just out of curiousity, why do you think this file was missing? How could that have happened?

You can also use FIX94's wiiflow mod and disable block IOS reload. This will allow it to work with other recent versions of d2x.
