Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[MassiveRican]

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?

ModMii has an emulated nand builder which does not create the cert.sys. If you however extract a copy of your nand with Giantpune's Wii NAND Tools, ShowMiiWads or Simple FS Dumper you should get the cert.sys file.

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.

This really helped, thank you.

This is exactly what happened to me ModMii didn't create the file so I copied it from my wii NAND backup using ShowMiiwads

Hi everyone, we now commited r418 to the wiiflow main svn! See wiiflowiki.com for download. Have fun!

Can't wait to give it a spin...

I have to say that you've given wiiflow a much needed shot in the arm.
Looking at your Google Code page, there are so many items in the updates section that make me say "yeah, I always thought that needed to be done".

Thank you for all the improvements you have made.

CONGRATS to all the involved in this project....!!

Congratulations guys. It's looking good so far.

NB: Remote sync delay still there with r70 as well.
Just wondering, can future released display the number of games ingeneral & in wbfs partition in particular,
And if newly instaled games can be displayed alone (using special icon or filter) for a certain period of time (pretty handy when wbfs partition contains 100+ games)
(While trying the latest r70 it didn't detect my new games so I had to delete the wbfs file list in cache folder to fix this - might be a bug)

Keep the good work going

I'm using the cfg-loader sync code currently, can you see if you have this problem with cfg-loader too?

Great work Fix94 - thanks to you and everyone on the wiiflow team for your dedication to this amazing loader!

I was just thinking it might look better if the backs of boxes with only a front cover available were white. The default gray looks fine with the question mark on the front but I'm not that fond of the gray back when there's a picture on the front. At least the white looks better in my head.

I have no problem with CFG-Loader (v70 IOS249) run via USB Channel it syncs while loading and as far as you return to channel after quiting a game.
wiiflow checks (ie remote blinks) twice before syncing both after loading and after returning to channel...
Hope this helps

No Sync issues here on this or previous versions since Miigotu fixed something in the old A4 dropbox version. Remote syncs before Wiiflow starts.
EDIT: should mention I've modded 4 Wii's this way and all sync quickly, one of them NTSC 4.3 and the others PAL 4.2.
Using cIOS V7, HDD setup as per Miigotu recommendations - ie. FAT32 for NAND and NTFS for Wiiflow and the rest.

Where do I put a forwarder for this so that I can launch from my wii main menu? I dl'd the forwarder from "wiiflowwiki.com"
[font="'comic sans ms"]So far I have tried SD:/WAD, SD:/apps/wiiflow, SD:/wiiflow. MMM automatically reads from SD:/WAD. I thought that would be the place, but all three places return the result "failed" in MMM. [/font]
