the compression handler FIX94 uses seems to cause graphical problems.
Can't be, I have the feeling its the swap32 inside of the utils.h, because the compression "handler" is some really easy code which havent got something to do with video or audio :P

I'm having music issues with r455. I got 2 mp3's in wiiflow/music and nothing plays. I tried to delete and recopy them too and still nothing. Does anybody know how to fix this and could possibly send me the up to date rev (if it's allowed that is)? Thanks.
Sure it doesnt work, if you check out the changelogs it only works with r458+ again.

@Fix94 - can you explain what the consoleCoverID plugin option is for? or how it works?

nintendo: NES/SNES/N64/GBA/GBC
sega: SGG/master system/genesis/S32/CD
atari: atari 5200
In short like this, thats needed because crc32 could be double and its better to make it in categories on gametdb.

just to let everyone know Overjoy doesn't like the home button being used for the source menu. So that will be reverted and maybe an option added to wiiflow.ini for those of you that like to use it. otherwise there's still the + button while on the view icon
Can i suggest using the B button? this is a more common interface choice on the wii, and most users will be used to it. i.e. A selects and B goes back. this will mean dropping B on favourites to open catagories, but perhaps there's space for a catagories button, or we could use plus on favourites?

also, if the home button's freed up, how about launching a shutdown/standby/restart option menu?

How about using A on the view icon to bring up the source selection screen? Seems the most logical to me. I sill can't get rid of cycling through NAND when I use A on the view icon (disabling it doesn't work).

Or if there was a way to override which button did what on that icon that would be ideal. I really don't like +/view as it is not natural IMO.

@[member='fledge68'], So how's your theme and plugin menu goin? Ever decide what buttons to go with?
Themes - I was going to change orchid and 8bit exit buttons to say something else like "source" but now I don't need to do that. Source menu buttons - I was thinking of including Abdallahterro's, Mastershoes, and Pepxl's (if it's ok) in seperate folders in the theme pack. Then the user could just choose for themselves which one they like.

OK I now can reproduce it, its a 50hz problem :P
[yt]qAiemtvWklM[/yt]

You're right, with 60Hz it works. But I don't want to use 60hz permanently because everything looks quite blurred on my tv.
It would be really great if you can fix that FIX :D

Problem is gone for me now, hopefully for you too :)
some wiiware like "you, me & the cubes" gives black screen no matter what video mode or ios I choose, others like world of goo works fine but returns to health screen on exit.
I also noticed many wii games black screen with default settings, until I change video mode to pal50 or ntsc then they work fine, autopatch option doesn't seem to work. Maybe there's a bug in the video modes settings.

Thanks Fix

Many things used to work before (nand dumping, nand launching, auto patching...) we're just reporting what went wrong in the updating process, I don't see any harm in doing so.
I know, but if something breaks and it gets reported, and we dont fix it and it gets reported over and over it doesnt really help :P

I would rather see folks use the GoogleCode report an issue. Then they could review what is open and not report dups.
