Not that it's really important but just an idea, could it be made to just say "neek mode" or something instead?

If you guys want the FULL fba emu core here you go:

I didnt include it because its 16mb extracted.

So that I understand correctly, this has the fba cps1/cps2/neo cores all in one dol right? The three seperate dol's are about 6mb altogether why is this one so much larger?

I made these:

grab'em from here: http://www.mediafire...sqo75lkqd15dbtd

I'm currently updating the source menu icons, hopefully I'll release a new source menu pack by the end of the week

Just finished setting up retroarch wii, looking forward to a set of icons bro, thanks.

BTW - here is the latest version with the new games like Just Dance 4, Wipeout 3, FIFA 13 etc setup in the new v4 format.

Thanks for the new updates.
I would like to have a 20th category called "hidden" so what do I need to add/edit?

I just did this recently myself. Here's an example of how I added an extra category for wii games, what I changed is in caps:

[GAMES/GENERAL]
cat1=Action
cat10=Sports
cat11=Strategy
cat12=Traditional
cat13=Theme
cat14=ESRB: Early Childhood
cat15=ESRB: Everyone
cat16=ESRB: Everyone 10+
cat17=ESRB: Teen
cat18=ESRB: Mature
cat19=ESRB: Adults Only
cat2=Adventure
CAT20=Hidden
cat3=Fighting
cat4=General
cat5=Health
cat6=Music
cat7=Racing
cat8=RPG
cat9=Simulation
hidden_categories=
NUMCATEGORIES=21
required_categories=
selected_categories=

You should be able to do the same thing under any other section like [HOMEBREW/GENERAL] or [NAND/GENERAL]

LOL @ Adults Only catagory
Does the Wii even have anything higher than Mature?

Cant wait to try all these new updates, but waiting on a new HD before I start. *sigh*

CHEERS

Those games are banned from normal retail. I'm not sure if there's actually anything for the Wii but if there is you'd have to special order it.

. . . while writing this I thought I'd look it up. On my first quicky search Amazon shows two Ao games ... but they're both Japan imports. One of them (Madworld) is available in a US version but I know they purposely toned it down a bit so they would be able to sell it on normal store shelves.

Hi, I currently have 4.0.2 installed, and I'm wondering a couple of things...

1) Is it possible to have it so that the games are sorted by name before a colon appears? For example, I have LEGO Batman: The Videogame, and I have LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. Sadly though LEGO Batman 2 appears before LEGO Batman. It seems to happen because the sorting algorithm isn't doing a full sort on the names downloaded from GameTDB. This same problem happens on the LEGO Indiana Jones 1 and 2 games. Well basically anything that has a colon in it's title.

2) For some strange reason when downloading the covers for the games, UDraw Pictionary seems to be over looked. Though Configurable USB Loader pulls it in fine.

you can try making a custom title and remove the colons if this can solve your issue, though no biggie here

Yes I understand that, but since it's more to do with how the bubble sort is being done, or what ever fancy sort that is being used, it just needs to be changed. So that not every user has to make their own custom one when it's more to do with the sorting of the titles downloaded from GameTDB. I'm sure it's only a small tweak to the coding that needs to be done.

So has anyone gotten SD nand to work yet?

Fixed since the wiiflow 4.0.2 release... so pleased.

The only problem I've noticed is some channels don't show e.g. WiiFitPlus Channel, MKart Channel, Zelda Save Fix Channel.
(usb/sd nand)

currently i use CFG to load my games, but i set up wiiflow with some plugins as a way to consolidate my emulators...save that valuable channel space!
so after configuring wiiflow all i can say is...
WOW!
the nand emulation is spot on, compatability is better than triiforce!
dios mios inegration!
and the 3d engine is tasty!

now i dont know if there is a wiki explaing ALL option for wiiflow.ini but id love to read one. i was just wondering, when i use cfg, i have iso 'forwarders' for my wiiware games, but if i were to switch to wiiflow, how could i combine my DML/NAND/WII views iinto one? using config, the default view shows DML/WII/NAND games together, side by side.
please tell me i can achieve that effect somehow, or maybe its a feature that can easy be impemented within the configs?
any help? thanks! wifflow really brings out the best of a wii, and althoug its not as 'configurable' as CFG, every option i would need ina loader is pretty much covered.
other thing id like to do: rebind the controller somehow, or at least disable the source menu globally?

It's a recent work in progress but a reasonably complete wiki can be found here
https://sites.google.com/site/wiiflowiki4/
The ability to combine the DML WII and NAND sections has been on the wishlist / back burner for some time now but hasn't ever been completely implemented.
You USED to be able to take all the folders out of the /GAMES folder and put them in the /WBFS folder and WiiFlow would at least show GameCube and Wii games together but I haven't heard of anyone actually trying that for a while now. No harm in testing it out to see if it still works if you wanna report back.
If that does work and you no longer need the DML section, you can disable it in the [DML] section of the wiiflow.ini file in the /apps/wiiflow folder.

Disabling the source menu all together ... kinda sounds possible but I can't remember how (if it is possible)
I think what you can do is move it to just pressing B on the mode switching icon. I can't remember off hand what it is and kinda got to go but it's under the [GENERAL] settings in the wiiflow.ini file. While you're at it I'd suggest turning on the dpad_mode in there and just point at the mode switching button and press the d-pad directions to more quickly get to the different sections.

anyway, good luck to you.

I recently discovered DVD Shrink, and made an iso of one of my movies. I play it with wiimc and all menus and features are in tact. But when I play it in mplayer, it auto flips through the menu and some features real fast and then plays the movie. Is there a way that mplayer can be made to handle the dvd iso differently? OR is it possible with the new plugin system to use wiimc instead?

I have always used wiimc as my media player and would love to see it as a plugin too.

wiimc still sorta doesn't.
i keep trying it. it will do a coverflow but after clicking any of my 1200 cds/album covers. the only thing it will do is load wiimc like a channel when you try to start a movie/music..even with my custom dol that lets me add custom themes doesn't work(acts the same way). even though thats an augment in it's self.( i have no idea how to code/write this custom dol i stumbled upon on a german web site.)
going to try DMP later to see if i can get it to load my mp3/ogg files. while giving me a pretty coverflow. l

 

[FIX94]

I could mod wiimc, may some patch or precompiled dol will come today...

 

[shortz1994]

i did try an use DMP,(dragon media player). an have had the same results. wiiflow will show a coverflow for my ogg/wav an mp3 files. but it black screens while loading.( with a steady drive light.).
so hopefully (i know he can.).get one of the players to launch music files.
thanks for the hard work fix94.

Can Wii-flow play GC backups from discs with cMIOS? If I load a disc inside Wiiflow the wii just reboots, the same disc will boot with Neogammer.

Not realy interested with DIOS MIOS or Divolution, becuase I use WBFS and SD card dosnt have enough space for GC games. Also compatibility issues and I want originals to be bootable from the dash.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

If you have wiigator cmios 4 or wiipower cmios 10 you can run gc backups even multi iso dvd from disc channel. Also neocorp hack will make u use disc channel via neogamma.
With cmios on board wiiflow should work fine too

That is ideally what I want, not even disc channel for backup GC games, from Wii-Flow I would be more than happy with.

I have 'Wiigator+WiiPower cMIOS-v65535(v10)' to make doubly sure, I re-downloaded it with 'ModMii" and reinstalled the wad.

Dosnt boot backup from disc channel, (unrecognised disc) or from inside Wii-Flow (system reboots) Original GC disc boots from both though.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

That's not the mios i recommended

Edit @wanderlei777 check your inbox i've sent you the ones i mentioned above
