Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[fledge68]

This flickering should be gone now I hope, I know with the emu games, because I havent touched that code at all yet.

yes flickering is gone when you start a game - i meant when i returned to wiiflow from a wii game i would sometimes get a triangle shaped image from the game briefly before the loading screen. no big deal - it doesn't bother me. everything seems to be working great!

Namco Museum Megamix - ok
Namco Museum Remix - blackscreen - power cycled, 2nd and 3rd times ok

Yeah I talk about that, that should be gone with r373 now

Just tried r373 and no more odd graphics when loading or exiting games. Sweet!

I just tested emu mode and it didn't run an N64 game but exited to the main Wii screen. Here is my log:

wow! so many fixes in the last 24hrs
I'll test the latest rev now.
Thanks

 

[FIX94]

The log file is correct, I also tested it and wii64 game booting works fine here, but returning to wiiflow blackscreened.

yes gone in r373 - nice!

I am having an issue with wiiware games on emu NAND with DLC not playing. I know it's not related to anything you've been doing but was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue and if it's WiiFlow related or d2x related or something else.

also i notice on google source whenever you commit a new revision it doesn't show up right away. I have to click on newer on the right side for it to show up.

Give the servers a chance to catch up with all the revs added lol

Yep, same here

PoP is bootin into black screen with r373

Tested the forgotten sands here, working fine, gecko also reports the game is properly patched...

 

[Etheboss]

Tested both POP games with r373, both start with default settings except i got emusave turned on at full. No blackscreens so far.

 

[secamfr]

tested r373 : many black screen with all emulators when i launch a game.

I'm definitely glad to see the big improvement in your tests. I was starting to get worried it would come time for the weekly precompiled release on the GoogleCode page and there wouldn't be anything safe to post for use by the common user. I know how important code cleanup is to be able to add features and find new future bugs but it's definitely a lot of work, especially when it's open sourced and you didn't personally write all the code that's there.

Anyway, just a questions with your test results, [member='bostonBC'], are your tests with just cIOS's 249 and 250 installed or is the full auto IOS selection still running on it?
I have them all installed and just was curious how your results would compare to someone in my case.

I cooked this one up earlier, reheat and enjoy - r373 compiled https://docs.google....QlpLVUs2VDU2cUE

good job with deleting the ubuntu partition btw. I did something like that recently

Thanks. You may not want to post links in this thread though. Fix had just said something about it a few pages ago.

And I did delete my ubuntu partition on purpose. after not using it for a few weeks, I thought I didn't need it anymore...
lmao!

 

[Etheboss]

mm, which nick are u using?

Also i posted 373 in IRC earlier...you didnt see it?

I did too, however i forgot to fix the MBR back to windoze and had to go through a whole bunch of shit to get it working again xD

anyways what did fix say? i think it's fine.

 

[Maxternal]

I know there's probably too much work still to be done with code cleanup and debugging at the moment but the idea just popped into my head so I thought I'd throw it out there.

It would be cool if on the "select source" menu could also have a way to mark which four of those options we have set to our D-pad shortcuts.
I'm personally cool with the presets but I thought some people might like that.
