Than keep the folders, just replace your settings and than it should run

I've been kinda quiet the last few days, hacking a wii for someone, but now I'm back with some crazy ideas.

First, I was fiddlin around with some coverflow ideas, when it struck me, Why not make Homebrew mode LOOK like HBC? Change the dimensions to look like the HBC buttons, give each app its own cover, with the icon to the left, moving the title over the cover, and then when the box is flipped, it expands full screen, with the description and controls on the back.

Another thing I thought about, was until we get/instead of getting wiiware compatability to work, why not take another loader that already has good compatability, and turn it into a plugin to launch wiiware? EDIT: I've been informed that wiiware compatibility is actually good now.

On a less crazy note, is there any way I can get the plugins to actually save/load settings? Every time I launch a game, the settings return to default. :/

@BostonBC, How's the website coming?

i've already had this idea, and talked about it a couple of times, wouldn't need to use a loader.( gx or cfg.). just use neek2o as a plugin. then have postloader to switch between nands,if you have more then 1.(i have 4 at the moment, each is set up as emulators, one for each vc systems, an a wiiware..). as it is all my games run under neek2o environment. even the problem games that don't run in wiiflow.
if i knew how to set the magic numbers up an make dol. i would try. but i'm like most users an waiting for overjoy/fix94 to finish an see if they get it working. i hope they do.
also a good thing, in my book. postloader can read my dump from wiiflow.(nand) if i put it in my nands folder on usb.( though nothing is on it.)

Wiiware & VC work again

But after exiting a game it returns to the system menu not to WiiFlow, allthough I've installed the hidden WiiFlow loader channel (WIIH).

When in doubt delete wiiflow.ini, cache lists folder, and settings folder.

Sorry for asking again, but I really need help with the source-menu and scummvm.
My scummgames are displayed correctly in Wiiflow but only if I activate them with the settings-button/plugins.
After I´ve seen that the games worked and displayed fine, I activatet source-menu on startup, in the wiiflow.ini.
After that, my scummgames are only displayed, if I activate VBAGX in the source-menu or in the settings/plugins.
Now I´ve deactivated the source-menu on startup in the wiiflow.ini and have seen, that my scummgames are displayed again.
But if I start the source-menu one time by myself, all scummgames are gone again. Its something in the source-menu, but I doen´t know what. The magicnumber is correct and the scummvm-plugins-ini is untouched and not edited by me. Can someone help me please?

This thread seems to be not so active. Did we decide to start a new one? If so, can someone send me a link to the new one? Thanks.

Well, with Fix not releasing 10 updates every single day, there's a bit less feedback, but I've noticed that source menu icon updates and revisions have stopped. I'd still like to see some stylish toon shaded icons, powered on/off icons when hovering, maybe isometric icons. I still think something needs to be done with the emulator settings menu.

I might work on my HBC coverflow idea later. If anyone wants to help out, that'd be cool. What needs to be done with the covers is the icon needs to be on the left, stretched from top to bottom of a 1090x680 so it's the right aspect when the box is given HBC button dimensions, and then copy/paste the description/controls from somewhere like wiibrew.org onto the back. Overjoy said he liked the idea, hopefully we can make this a thing.

Fix needs a break too lol, the man was working nonstop on updates like mad

Plus he's been promoted around here so he might have some additional work added to his plate. Congrats again there Fix.

I would like to add that this usbloader thread is by far the most active one at the moment, well maybe usbloader GX is on par, but since the release of ver 3.0, posting is slower there as well.

It seems rev456 is working great for wiiware though returning to health screen but yeah much better than black screens and code dumps
Though still some wii games such as kirby EY and Okami are black screening (work fine in GX & CFG)

Nice progress, thanks Fix94 and overjoy, way to go

Thanks. I am able to get the source menu now. It looks great!

Does anyone have compiled versions of the latest plugins (new mod 9)? I am getting code dumps when exiting some emu games.

 

[bostonBC]

Getting code dumps on exiting WiiFlow from r456... I'll try r458.

Kirby Wii & Okami work perfect with r458, no problem at all !
