OK, I have run into a new issue. Maybe I am too much of a newbie at this, although, I haven't really had many problems with anything I have done in the past. Now that WiiFlow has started working properly for me (I am able to see my games, my homebrew, and my system menu channels), I am trying to redirect it to look for my covers on the USB drive rather than storing them on the SD card in an effort to conserve space on the card.
I created the following directory structure on my USB Drive. In the root directory I created a folder called wiiflow_advanced (named identical to the one on the SD Card root directory). Inside that folder I created duplicate versions of the folders "boxcovers" and "covers" (again identical to the ones on the SD card).
I also edited the "wiiflow_advanced.ini file as follows. I edited "dir_box_covers=sd:/wiiflow_advanced/boxcovers" to read "dir_box_covers=usb:/wiiflow_advanced/boxcovers". I also edited "dir_flat_covers=sd:/wiiflow_advanced/covers" to read "dir_flat_covers=usb:/wiiflow_advanced/covers".
I can see no obvious reason to me why this would not work, but after making these two little changes when I try to launch WiiFlow, I wind up with a screen dump.
I launch my homebrew channel, then select WiiFlow and click load. The loading screen comes up for about 7 or 8 seconds, then I get the screen dump. It stays up for about 5 seconds, and then homebrew reloads.
Any ideas what I am missing? I can't find anything else in the .ini file pertaining to the covers except for "cover_buffer=18" and "sound_volume_coverflow=255". As far as I can tell these would have no bearing whatsoever on where it would look for the covers. I don't know if I am just plain missing something, or is it not even possible to put them on the USB Drive?
I have a 4.3u WII. when I hit the home button on the remote in homebrew, it shows 1.1.0 in the upper right hand corner and IOS58 v24.32immediately below that. I cannot give you the version information on my WiiFlow unless you know a trick I don't, because when I select WiiFlow, the screen that comes up with the delete, load and back buttons tells me "no description available".
To the best of my knowledge, everything is up to date, and I am attaching a copy of the syscheck file to see if that offers any additional clues.
