Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[AbdallahTerro]

Ah, you mean the one I made for WiiFlow Advanced lol
yeah sure, I will change the logo and the soundtrack, though I prefer "Clouds"

I'm not able to run any plugins under v4 or 4.0.1. Everything else is being detected OK like games (once I select usb1 initially), cover art, etc, but when I go to the emulator source screen all I get is a message saying "Welcome to WiiFlow. I have not found any plugins. Select partition to select your partition type." I've set the partition to usb1, but all I ever see is that same screen. I've confirmed that the plugins are correctly loaded at root:/wiiflow/plugins on the hd. I've also blown away my settings and everything a few times and let it recreate hoping it was something there, but it's had no effect. I've loaded the latest plugins pack from the google code download site.

Please let me know if I need to provide additional info about my setup.

Thanks!

There's a tutorial for Wiiflow 3.1+ setup in tutorials section. (or check @fledge68 signature)

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! I have actually gone through the steps in the tutorial already, but I'm still having the issue. I just walked through the tutorial again to make sure I didn't miss anything and everything seems to be in order. I have install d2x9beta into slot 249 using base 56 and 250 using base 57. I've tried with wiiflow 4.0 and 4.01 that was released today, but nothing changes. Since I was initially upgrading from 1.1, I thought maybe that was an issue having some of the old stuff in the root:/wiiflow folder, so I moved everything wiiflow-related off of my hdd and installed everything as a completely fresh installation of wiiflow, but it has had no effect either. I also installed the latest forwarder (since I was still using the old 1.1 one) and the new forwarder is working fine, loading wiiflow with no issues, but I'm still unable to see any plugins.

Basically, once I get Wiiflow running from a fresh install, I select my games drive (usb1) and it loads them all fine. I can download cover art with no issues. But, when I select source and choose the emulator icon I just get that same "Welcome to wiiflow, I have not found....." message. I go into Select partition, choose usb1 and click back, but it never sees anything.

On another, possibly unrelated note, when try to click the gamecube icon on Select Source it says *disabled*. Not sure if that's related, I haven't bothered to look into yet though.

Thanks again!

@abz I have another channel for WiiFlow called oceans that you created, are you going to post an updated version or perhaps you're not satisfied with the channel. I don't think it has any sound, so I was wondering if you could update it and post it to you're liking with a relaxing loop sound, cuz I liked the ocean in the BG, it was very serene and cool looking with certain SM themes.

Can you check it out please: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?iy3b6mmzo7f99ij
I added it to above mentioned folder too
Enjoy the relaxing sound

Did you edit the plugin ini files for the rom path? if yes place some roms on SD\"whatever_rom_path" and see if they appear
I bet you're using custom paths for roms

Ahh, holy crap that was basically it. I'd actually taken that into account and just created the default folder, but I typo'd it as fcuegx\roms instead of fceugx\roms.

Thanks much!!

Probably been asked before, but with multidisc games, is there a way to keep them under one "entry" or does Wiiflow have to list them as Disc 1 and Disc 2 seperately on the coverflow?

I've tried diggin around and started clean a few times now running into some problems.
I am trying to get the emuflow setup, but wiiflow is not working with mplayer ce, gbc, segagen
My videos are on a 500gb usb drive and they work when I go through homebrew channel.
I downloaded the wiiflow plugin pack from google; I noticed that the Mplayer ce file it has me drop in the apps folder is missing its boot.dol file. Forgive my ignorance but I am not sure if that matters. I tried going to the Mplayer ce site and placing the file in the one from google but it had no effect.

Any assistance would be amazing at this point. I can throw my stuff on dropbox if that might help the trouble shooting process.

moving on from my earlier post on wiiSX integration, i've decided to tackle the menu system to show wii - gc - psx - snes - gb - nand - brew screens...

if only there was the hope that wiisx will one day get added to the wiiflow plugins for that autoplay freshness ..

should anyone want 70+ psx sleeves (870x400px) for wiiflow - pm me. i made this paint.net psx template.

... i'll shut up now.

 

[masterjakeway]

FIX94 says the Wiisx code is pretty screwed up. I doubt he'll want to tackle it...

ahh, i hadn't realised. i waded through what felt like a couple of hundred pages whilst fiddling with the wii & didn't see that. fair play, i just assumed it was on a par with the Wii64 since it's the same peeps. makes sense. i'll have to lower my sights a little and aim for what's possible. cheers bud for the headsup

psx covers have already been made by Mastershoes quite some time ago if im not mistaken(just not posted in these forums yet)

also, these aren't proper covers... you should post over in this thread:

To FIX94 - the new 4.0.1 seems to have fixed the problems with Devolution. Nice work!

 

[corrupted]

The game "The Black Eyed Peas: The Experience" does not load up. with wiiflow 4.0.1, d2x v8 final 3tb wd hdd. It loads the health screen then goes to loading game....

ps. as well is there any new forwarder dol file to put into priiloader to load up wiiflow all of the old ones give me a stack error and restarts the wii

thank god for that...

 

[sdoc96]

Below are the individual links to each of the updated v14b forwarders.

Awesome - thanks for putting all of those up in one post.
One thing though - the 8Bits link is broken.

LOL.... was thinking something along those lines but didn't mention it.... maybe Wiiflow is sending a message about musical taste.

Are there any forwarders around now for Priiloader with rev14b? I still use my old rev11 StarNight Priiloader Forwarder for booting my Wii. I completely forgot channel forwarders are different that priiloader forwarders.

Just grab CustomizeMii and extract the dol of the wad.

Thanks for the heads up. Link is fixed, if anyone finds any issues with links please let me know.

Here is priiloader dol v14b in case anyone needs it, extracted from the svn forwarder WAD with CustomizeMii. Sorry no starnight

I'm feeling very tired, lazy, and disorganized right now, but I'll do the best I can.

Wiiflow Ideas
separate plugin categories- If possible, could you make separate categories for the plugins? While most of the emus will use the same format, we do not have any 2 player, platformer, puzzle, strategy, etc. movies

Add homebrew info to tdb- just thought it would be convenient to be able to tell what each app does, and how to control it before launching it.

Make banner movable and constant (multiple zones in game view)- This will help themers by removing these limitations.

show disc channel- Thought it might be a nice touch when you click the disc button, if the box/ banner for the game currently inserted would pop up, letting the user know what it is and allowing them to decide if they want to launch the game or not.

How to use the required + function and why the homebrews have it?- @Fledge68 , I get why it's handy to hide something, but what is one supposed to do with the required function? And why do the homebrew apps have all boxes marked as required?

Comix channel plugin- I like the idea, MassiveRican likes the idea. How many others might enjoy being able to launch virtual mags from wiiflow?

Wode support- How hard would it be, and if implemented, would it still be possible to get to movies, and use other apps that use the hdd, through the wode?

Um, that is all.
