Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[Maxternal]

Yeah, I'm no expert but I kinda think the format from one coverflow, emuflow, etc to another is the same so you can copy and past everything under the [header] in the INI file to another one [header] and it should work fine.

I've decided that I need to tinker with the source menu and I'm asking for help from anyone who has an actual unit of any of the supported consoles, or even better, 3D models of them that can be viewed from any angle (think gamecube trophy from smash bros melee) my goal is to make a mock source flow.

Maybe give http://emustation3d.blogspot.ca/2011/12/downloads.html a quick download and looky. Just did myself and it sounds "close" to what I think you
are attempting???

CHEERS

Very good start, though there's quite a few missing. If anyone else knows of some good 3D models I could use, feel free to share. If someone wouldn't mind taking just a couple minutes out of their day to take some shots of their consoles, similar to this, that would be great.

Spoiler

Basically what I'm looking for is 45 degree shots in either direction. (where does one go to find 3D renderings of these things?)

btw they work great. Thanks Mastershoes and Fix94

Just wondering, Fix94... How hard would it be to have the emulators cycle through only coverflows designed for that console?

NES=1,3,6...

hello, it's long time i don't have updated my wii (ciosrev21 and wiiflow v1.1) i have updated to ciosd2x beta9 and wiiflow 4.0.2 but i have found two problems:
-i can't have other language choice for wiiflow, only default
-if i don't set the nand partition and click on backup savegame i have an message error and can't quite

 

[FIX94]

May you guys can test r759 and report me every bug you found, if its some bigger bug then also add a sd log with enabling that "sd_write_log" in your wiiflow.ini [DEBUG] section and posting the wiiflow.log here as well:

[hicandturkey]

first question got me kinda lost so idk about that one but i use these themes http://www.mediafire...9djyaynwycas50j check them out. i got them from [member='fledge68']s signature

I was using the Carbonik Abz one earlier and having the same formatting issue, but maybe the one in this pack is somehow different. I'll take a look and see. Thanks!

That's what I was kinda thinking. Thanks!

-i can't have other language choice for wiiflow, only default

for this i have downloaded the language pack found on http://code.google.com/p/open-wiiflow-mod/downloads/list but the french translation need some additions and put in the languages directory

Where can i find some information on nand setting on wiiflow? i can't find any wiki for wiiflow

i have problem with call of durt mw 2 loading, it was loading perfectly on older wiiflow and ciosrev21 (i have tried with cios using ios56 and 57)

 

[AbdallahTerro]

I have a few general questions about the flows.

1. Just to be clear, the Emuflows are for all of the Emulators based games and the Coverflows are for the Wii/Gamecube games, correct? If so, can you mix and match flows in the theme ini file so that certain Coverflows are used for the emulator games as well?
2. When viewing the flows, the game titles are usually half visible on the screen or not at all and sometimes the covers seem a bit bigger than they should... almost as if it's zoomed in to where it can't keep everything within the screen. I understand that the flows can be adjusted in the settings, but in this case, there would be a lot of adjusting to be done. I adjusted the TV height and width but it still isn't quite right. It seems like there might be a setting I'm missing to make the flows laid out better on my TV.

first question got me kinda lost so idk about that one but i use these themes http://www.mediafire...9djyaynwycas50j check them out. i got them from [member='fledge68']s signature

there are 3 types of flows:
A. coverflows used for Wii, GC and WW/VC games
B. brewflows for Homebrew mode (displays icon.png) but can also display a full cover
C. emuflows used for plugin mode (emumode), currently there are different proportion/orientation used for different emulators

When you try to copy one emuflow or brewflow for example to use it as coverlow the covers will look weird or inverted sometimes
This can be fixed by adjusting the cover scales, position and angle or orientation and sometimes cover spacing.
It might take some time to make all adjustments but everything can be done from within Wiiflow application (adjust coverflow option)

just tested - at least now i can return to wiiflow after plugin game. but still can't access plugin select menu. it freezes for a little while and then restarts wiiflow.

OK, can you upload all .ini files in your wiiflow/plugins folder? Then I can take a look at it in detail.

here you go - http://www.mediafire.com/?812e56d64kpp445

but I did further testing and found out i couldn't start any wii game (all black screens) so i went back to r473 and they are working again. And just so you know I used your dol from mediafire

this might sound stupid, but here it goes.. are we able to sort movies to categories?
like all my Monty python's,(comadies). final destination.(horror). bolt.(kids).. also before i start making these, are there full covers for apps on the sd card.
thanks for the answers.
but wait there's more... is there a way to get coverflow for music yet? using wiiflow to launch music. instead of the banner style that is already present.
(it's sweet an all, but i would like to choose what is played first. instead of "random") or what is the status on getting wiimc to work, the last time i seen the post it was going to be tried but havent seen a result or answer on the issue since.

categories for movies = yes. in categories_v4.ini look for or create [MPLAYERCE/GENERAL] and under that put how many categories + 1 and the name of each category. note: MPLAYERCE might be different for you - it depends on the display name for mplayerce in the mplayerce.ini

yeah actually they looked similar in several pictures on google image search so I used the same image.
maybe it's some extra extensions that makes the difference but I'm not sure

What problem are you talking about here?

I thought a new theme might fix some of his issues so he would not have to adjust his flows

Been using r756 for a bit and it was working nicely but just found that Kirby's Return to Dreamland and The Smurf's Dance Party which were working for a while aren't anymore. I will try and track down when it died.

KRTDL runs fine under IOS 250 in CFG but goes to a white screen after pressing 2 and The Smurf's Dance Party black screens.

Checked r740 and it dies there too.

Will try r759 and some older ones to see if I can pinpoint when it died.

If anyone else has those games working please let me know what version you are on.

Thanks!
