Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[fledge68]

Yeah! we're back!

 

[bostonBC]

Yeah! I was missing this badly and it's only been 8 days

 

[Geren]

Cool!
I've using 4.0.3 these past days, and I haven't found any issue

Hi Fix. Can you explain the dol corruption problem that you mentioned in bug 144. The right button disappearing when you hover over it is very annoying

Thanks!

Hey Fix,

MassiveRican just pointed out to me that there are two plugin magic numbers that are the same in the v6 plugin pack...


mplayerce
magic=4D504345

mednafen_pce
magic=4D504345

For some reason which I still don't understand, the dol is corrupted as said, so something gets fucked up when loading the dol, you can be lucky that just one button is affected. There was a time, a few revs ago, where wiiflow didn't boot at all anymore...

finally back, cant wait to get back in wiiflow

 

[wiikey]

okay ... now that i have a little time. WhiteWii and BlackWii are both made by Drexyl. You can find him on IRC a lot. In the ones I have exit to neek2o isn't even an option. he seems to have moved it off screen to hide it. This makes me think you have an old version. Try going here to download the most recent versions by Drexyl - https://sites.google...ck-white-themes

Then try IRC to get a hold of drexyl and ask him how to fix it. If that doesn't work then I will send you the text to fix the buttons you want fixed so you can fix it yourself but i can't edit the theme and post it.

Hey fledge thats were i downloaded theme from it was ok up until recent revision of wiiflow i tried fixing myself but couldnt get it to look right going to re-download and try again

Ok, thanks. I will wait to hear back from you on it. The rest of things seem to work fine - and the important part - running games works great

Back online... sweet

I have a big problem with 4.0.3... sd emunand channel loading and savegame emulation broken
Savegame emulation broken in wiiflow version 4.0.3
Does anyone else have emunand or savegames on the sd card, because on 4.0.2 savegame emulation off sd worked but on 4.0.3 its broken, I have tried everything but have had to move my nand over to usb.

When I enable sd log either on loading or right after loading wiiflow crashes or codedump on startup.

Its really really nice apart from this one bug. Hope someone can check this for me and report back... I cannot get a decent sd log because of the codedumps, I hope someone else can.

 

[FIX94]

It's new to me that 4.0.2 can use sd card nand emulation, for me it never worked, if I have some time I'll check that out again.

Sorry to ask: But how can I install retroarch in order to use it in wiiflow.
I tried to use the dols and the inis in the plugin folder. But I always get a blackscreen.
Do I have to use the retroarch main dol?

make sure your games are FBA v0.2.97.26 compatible thats prob your problem
u use each separate core e.x fba_cores_neo.dol would be for neogeo only

edit when setting up neogeo make sure u have the correct neogeo.zip its 1404kbs hope this helps

That's what I did.
Means: FCEUMM is for NES Games, SNES9x_Next is for SNES Games etc.
I tried every ini in the plugins pack (http://code.google.com/p/wiiflow/downloads/detail?name=WiiFlow_Plugins_Pack_v6.7z&can=2&q=) with wiiflow 4.0.3 (rev 733).
But it always results in a black screen. If I press the reset button on the wii front panel I will return to wiiflow.

I assume I have to use the retroarch.dol (which links to the cores).

did u install WiiFlowLoaderChannel v2 - WIIH.wad?

 

[papermanzero]

did u install WiiFlowLoaderChannel v2 - WIIH.wad?

Yes, I did.
Mednafen or snes9x gx is working ( I can return to wiiflow).
genesis gx (not the retroarch one) results in a code dump.

did you do a clean install delete your wiiflow.ini and the cache folder
recheck your plugin.inis
if none of this helps you, you will need to get help from someone that knows alittle more than me
sorry man i tried

It's new to me that 4.0.2 can use sd card nand emulation, for me it never worked, if I have some time I'll check that out again.

Please check it out...
sd card nand emulation works so far as you can switch to nandflow and with 4.0.3 it read all my channels off the sd emunand. But it crashes if you try to load a channel so you can browse the channels in nandflow and see the banner but thats all. savegame emulation, full and partial nand emulation don't work on 4.0.3 if emunand is on sd.
On 4.0.2 I can load the emunand on sd Nand emulation not working off SD
it didn't read all the channels but when I updated to 4.0.3 that was fixed Missing Channels [nandflow] and I can now see them all but as mentioned they don't load.
Also on 4.0.2 savegame emulation works, you just set the partition to 0 and path to nand on sd... this stopped working and none of my games would load only after I updated to 4.0.3. nand emulation full or partial and savegame emulation are broken in 4.0.3.
Hope you can get this worked out because it seems like sd nand emulation is so close to working great and I love the load bars and the animation and general polish/improvements clean up you and everyone involved has done. Brilliant please keep up the great work, hope this info I post helps.
