Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[papermanzero]

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

No problem. But thanks a lot for the help. ^^
I already did a clean install. -.-

Here is my ini:

[PLUGIN]
magic=46434D4D
coverColor=000000
coverFolder=NES
fileTypes=.nes|.fds|.nsf|.unf|.nez|.unif
romDir=games/NES/roms
dolFile=retroarch-wii/fceumm.dol
bannerSound=
displayname=Nintendo Entertainment System
consoleCoverID=nintendo
arguments={device}:/{path}/|{name}

Edit:
I am using wiiflow rev766.
Unfortunately genesis 1.7.1 plugin doesn't work either (always codedump). -.-

I'm using Wiiflow 4.0.3
Here's my Sega .ini and it works no prob.

[PLUGIN]

Wooohaa!! We're back baby!!! Man I missed you guys so much Honestly I couldn't even pass by IRC this week since been mega busy moving my gf out of my house so somehow things worked out but I was still bored as shit throughout most of my work day.

Beautiful, now that I got that off my chest and I say hello everyone and hope all is good in the world, we can get down to some WiiFlow business. @fix94 I recently realized with one of Mastershoes uploads (which include his ultimately awesome Source Menu Reference table) that the mednafen_pce.ini and Mplayer_CE.ini both have the same magic# 4D504345. Maybe an update to pluginpack v6.1 for a quick fix. While on the plugin pack subject maybe we could get a genplusgx-mod6.dol with an update to genplusgx 1.71, with full CD support now for Sega CD All in due time I'm sure, just really looking forward to that (Lunar here I come).

Beyond that amazing work with 4.0.3, things are running smooth as butter. I completely deleted my cache Fix to test out your new list/caching code and see how things went and it was very impressive. I had all the plugins in one folder and using the source menu it built the cache 1 by 1, didn't skip a single cover it shouldn't have, everything went great for every system except for the occasional random hang with no codedump, not sure if it's my HDD or not but it seems to just freeze every once in a while (even when not bulding cache), I simply did a manual reload (B+Home twice) every couple of hundred covers and all went well it was a bit slower than before however but much more stable and reliable which is the most important. I have MS 32 button emuflow setup working like a charm and all in all I'm loving life with WF.

Only feature request I can make for the future right now is on the fly NAND switching but most importantly support for emulators custom_titles.ini, sorry I'll stop buggin u about that if you say no it can't be done lol.

Yeah, it's good to be back and I'm loving the 4.0.3. But I came across a few issues and I'm not sure if it's just bugs or my HDD. Sometimes when I change plugins, let's say I change from Wii games (USB/Partiton 2) to WiiWare (USB/Partiton 1) It'll load just fine. But when I wanna change back to Wii games it can't read/find USB/Partiton 1. The same thing happens sometimes with my Gamecube games which are on the same partiton. I never have a problem with it reading the roms which are all on SD card. Usually to fix this, I just reset the Wii. I deleted the cache folder once I changed from 4.0.2 beta and redid the whole thing. (exhausted afterwards lol) Anybody got the same problem or is it just me?

I also found that Wiiflow isn't making some banners when I went and redid them so I had to use the ones from a previous version and they still work.
the 3 out of 4 that I can remember are: Rock Band, Tom Clancy's HAWK 2, Naruto: Dragon Blade.. there's another one but can't remember off hand. All are NTSC.
If anybody has the Tom Clancy's HAWK 2 banner (RTAE41.bnr) Plz send me a copy or something. I would be forever grateful.
Thanks.

Can anybody upload a compiled 773 Revision (.dol)?
I would like to try to reproduce my issue with the newest build.

Great!
Thanks a lot.
I searched in the trunk.

It's fantastic that GBAtemp is back.

The newest build is 4.0.3, its even newer than r773.
btw @all, I'll continue working on wiiflow as soon as I have the time for it again, school is more important atm.

I am surprised about the revision.
Wiiflow displays r766 which is older than r773.

Anyway I will try the newest build.
Crossing fingers for the school.

 

[MassiveRican]

Have at it with school fix, it's definitely more important, hope all goes well.

 

[papermanzero]

It's crazy.
I tried the genesis plus gx with wiiflow 4.0.3. But I am getting always a black screen with code dump (and I dunno why -__-):

I am using following scenario:
- USB HDD with 2 partitions (partition 1 fat32 for gamecube, partition 2 ntfs for wiiflow)
- SD Card (roms and apps)
- Default plugin ini points to sd card with the roms

I also tried a clean install without success.
All other emulators like snesgx mod, fceu gx mod, mednafen, etc. are working perfectly.
Only genesis gx and retroarch (blackscreen) have problems.

Where can i find this Sega CD .dol plugin that supports music? I got one from the plugin pack but it's only works on a few games. I looked here and on DU (Yes I'm on the dark side thanks to a friend on here) and I had no luck. Can someone please point me to the right direction? Thanks.

code.google.com/p/genplus-gx/ right there.

Guys give my jumbo pack a try, it has all plugins in v6 + 2 more for FBA and Saturn and both basic and advanced plugin inis setup, all work well here you only need to double check the rom path in the ini files and you're ready to rumble.

well unless you or your friend mastershoes learns to code, your'e out of luck. fix94 hasnt made a genplus-gx 1.7.1 plugin yet(which is what youre looking for) hes been busy with school. you can use the regular 1.7.1 .dol in the meantime, but its only going to bring up the genplus menu and not load the rom.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Custom missing cover support is here Thannnnks Fledge68 (awesome update)



Next step:
update carbonik abz to final version
finalize the magic numbers and correct the duplicate ones
update plugin inis with new oggs (thanks mastershoes)
Make a jumbo-plus update or a new one

meantime all missing covers are already in the jumbo pack+ and should be moved to wiiflow\boxcovers folder
and the theme ini file edited accordingly

So I was thinking about trying out WiiFlow as a replacement to GX as WiiFlow automatically detects my HDD, while GX hangs and requires me to unplug/replug.

So, whenever start WiiFlow, everything looks fine and I see all my games, however when I actually run one, it just blackscreens and then returns me to the HBC.

It's not a problem for GX to load my games, and my HDD seems to be in working order as well (I tested with various HDDs). My Wii is softmodded with 249 and 250, both being d2x.

I tried manually setting the IOS to load in my game setting for Fortune Street (this was the game I used for testing, it does the same for every game) to 249 and to 250, and it still just blacks out.

Is there something else I should be doing?

 

[MassiveRican]

Indeed awesome update Fledge68, highly appreciated.

Fix94 I think I found another bug, I just need anyone to confirm, Mastershoes has been uploading several requests for full cover WW/VC to gametdb, but whenever I try to d/load covers in emunand view it doesn't d/load any covers. It doesn't matter if I do a global "d/load missing" or if I choose to d/load an individual cover. However for Wii games it d/loads w/o a problem. If you get a chance can you check that out? I know it's not an internet connection issue either cuz I can go on Netflix before or after I launch WiiFlow.

Edit: Using WiiFlow 4.0.3 Final. Sometimes it get's stuck during "initializing network".

Is there a install/usage guide or wiki for Wiiflow?
