Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[seam]

has anyone gotten the prboom plugin working in wiiflow? i have it running fine in retroarch, but cant seem to get it to work from within wiiflow. if anyone whos gotten it running could post their .ini file, it would help me out a lot.

ALSO... my fceugx/vbagx/snes9xgx plugins arent displaying the rom names.. every rom in fceugx comes up as "Nintendo" and every snes9xgx rom comes up as "Super Nintendo" etc. its using the DisplayName for all the games... i have no idea why. im using the .ini files fix94 created which use "arguments={device}:/{path}|{name}|{loader}" not sure whats goin on...

[PLUGIN]
magic=5052424D
coverColor=000000
coverFolder=Wads
fileTypes=.wad
romDir=wiiflow/plugins/wads
dolFile=prboom.dol
bannerSound=
displayname=Wads
consoleCoverID=prboom
arguments={device}:/{path}/|{name}

well that doesnt help...

my doom wads are in "sd:apps/retroarch-wii/additional-files/doom" which is how retroarch says to have it setup. if i try loading wads from any other location it just makes retroarch codedump.

I have my Doom WADS, prboom.wad, and the music @ "USB1:/retroarch/Doom/" and both Retroarch and Wiiflow are functioning fine.

thanks buddy, thats what i needed to know! its now working too bad the prboom.wad shows up in the list with doom1, doom2, etc

any idea how i might fix my other problem,

"my fceugx/vbagx/snes9xgx plugins arent displaying the rom names.. every rom in fceugx comes up as "Nintendo" and every snes9xgx rom comes up as "Super Nintendo" etc. its using the DisplayName for all the games... i have no idea why. im using the .ini files fix94 created which use "arguments={device}:/{path}|{name}|{loader}" not sure whats goin on..."

thanks

Hmm.. which rev are you using? Fuck I want to try r768 but I might not have time tonight.. Just to cover the bases you already did a manual cache reload right?

 

[seam]

ha, yea of course reloaded cache. im not some noob all my plugins were 100% perfect until the new argument .ini stuff. can u paste what your fceugx.ini looks like

 

[MassiveRican]

I use FCEUmm.ini now with retroarch plugin core. When I get home later I'll post it, although I won't be home for several more hours. And sorry I know your no noob, my bad

Actually I'll re-setup the fceugx plugin to make sure the plugin and ini are still working properly. If it does I'll send you my ini.

yea please do, id appreciate it ive reconfigured the .ini's a few times, changing the argument etc... i just cant figure it out.. and im surprised nobody else has reported this problem. im sure its something on my end, i just dont know what...

Yo Fledge68, Thanks for your updates, but could you at least come to irc before you commit a change and if your not able to do that Please dont commit anything...
r766+ broke some important stuff

Thanks

hmmm .... strange. First, I'll admit r766 was untested and was just copy and paste form the sample loader code after a little communication with tueidj. But what's strange is if i broke something why didn't Fix just revert the changes or fix it the correct way. And why is it nobody else has ever said anything? So yea, just revert the changes or fix it. No biggie. I didn't change very much code.

As for coming to IRC. I have popped in there from time to time and nobody has said anything about it. In fact most of the time nobody says anything. And as far as coming to IRC before i commit anything that's up to Fix. And Fix hasn't ever had any problem with it. He's told me before just commit it if he don't like or whatever he'll revert it or change it. Fix is free to contact me at any time and let me know how he feels about something. which makes me wonder why he wants to release 4.03 tomorrow if he knows i supposedly fucked something up in r766?

hey fledge, the only thing it broke was "ios reloading games" when using gamesave to emunand. try back to the future or house of the dead 2+3 with save to emunand on.

okay, i don't understand how cause devolution memory card emuation shouldn't have anything to do with ios reloading wii games. but if it really does then Fix can revert r766. I would do it but i'm not on my main pc so i'm not capable of doing it right now.

 

[seam]

i personally dont care.. but i helped nibb determine that r766 was causing this issue for him. i dont use emusave...

while youre here... i cant seem to get wii64 and not64 to work with each other... i put both magicnumbers seperated by a coma... but my not64 roms dont show up with my wii64 roms when i click my n64 button on the source menu. no idea what im doin wrong

 

[drakorex]

I also tried not64 recently. It would load the selected game,but then go back to the not64 main menu,as if it were launched as an app.

Also I agree with dave,there should be a wiiflow theme program for pc. Or at the very least it'd be nice if dolphin could have an sd folder or direct sd access instead of a raw image so we can add and save stuff to test it out easily.

Happy freakin weekend.

Which revision+ do I need to be able to have more source menu pages? Also I am a little confused on wheich I need to edit for my earlier question.
The 4 graghics I need to not use the zoom in on select is "btnminus, btnminuss, btnplus, btnpluss" . But everything else that uses the effect I wish
to remain the same....

CHEERS


EDIT: Also, is there a freakin way to work on a theme and preview at my lappy, because seriously, I unplug this damn usbstick in and out, back and
forth like a million times a night???? LOL

 

[panmusic]

Well,I am really glad that Fix fixed VC/Wiiware emulation in the last weeks -NO MORE black screen!!!!

My only minor grip is that currently Wiiflow can not launch any Region Free of another's region VC/Wiiware games.I have a PAL Wii and I am sure that my NTSC wads work via latest Postloader just fine.When using Wiiflow with NTSC wads,it gives me a black screen.

Fix may I ask you if you are aware of this?

Can anybody answer me if or how is possible to load NTSC or Region Free Channels in emunand with Wiiflow in a PAL Wii please?

It seems that Wiiglow 4.0.3 is fast approaching and it would be perfect if this issue is solved...

Thanks

a lot of us themers would love some thing like that, it has been brought up before plenty of time.. the only thing i can say, an what i use to get an idea of what my theme will look like .
is gx's theme maker. you can find it on spiffy. yes i know it's alot of extra work. but it's the closest thing there is. you can play around with the icon settings an every thing. though you'll need to write/rewrite wiiflow's ini.( gx uses a different txt extension.). an alot of renaming of pngs. cause those are also renamed different..

sorry got home way too late last night and now working this morning. tonight though will be my day to play as I like to say.. so I got your back, and will post up ini's and whatnot.

I need to see your source_menu.ini (just the n64 button part is fine) and your wii64.ini and not64.ini.

1. make sure the magic numbers are correct
2. try just not64 and see if that works
3. make sure your roms are in the correct rom folder
4. you may need to do a reload cache after selecting your n64 button
5. I don't use either one so check with maxternal and see if he got it to work
6. go to plugins view and then config page one to the plugin select menu and select both plugins- does that work? (basically this is what the source menu does)
