Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[VashTS]

so i think im going to start perfecting my wiiflow setup today...is there a way to load bin/cue PSX isos where there are multiple .bin? last time i tried i used street fighter the movie game and it has like 30 tracks, it showed up like 30 times in wiiflow lol. the game does work wonderfully though and i'd love to have it on there. should i make it ISO? or can wiisx read this format?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

you can use cue files instead or hide them using "x" filter in categories,
not sure whether multitrack cue files work with this one, the one I have didn't work.

that's what I use in my ini: fileTypes=.bin|.img|.iso|.cdi

hey man i just use .cue|.ccd|.iso as file types so your bins wont show if u dont have a .cue file for the bin or .img just make one heres are some examples

Spoiler

for bin

FILE "File Name Here.bin" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

for img

FILE "File Name Here.img" BINARY
  TRACK 1 MODE2/2352
  INDEX 1 00:00:00

Weird problem of the week...

A friend was using Wiiflow and CFG fine and today when they run either forwarder channel and the Wii shuts down. Goes from green to red.

I'm trying to get them to bring it over so I could see it but were having a snowstorm and nobody wants to drive anywhere.

Anyone ever heard of the Wii shutting down when a USB loader channel is run? I'm wondering if a cIOS is fouled up or something.

 

[bostonBC]

I have good and bad news about that. The good news are the forwarder is working, the bad news are I cant release it since its just a modified homebrew channel dol with the forwarder injected

Thanks for the update, I'm sure this hurdle will be surpassed soon.

I've been doing some more testing on the Wii U and portable USB drives (I tried a 500GB Samsung and a 750GB Toshiba) don't work... based on the flashing error lights on the drive it isn't getting enough power to run.

I have a 2TB externally powered Seagate drive and it works fine. i also tried a 32GB flash drive and that works so it seems like the drives that require a lot of juice don't work.

Anyway - unless you plug in the USB drive after the Wii U starts up it asks if you want to format the disk. Not good and because it has a floating ground if you plug in an powered USB you could fry the board.

Hoping that can be disabled in some way or the drives are going to all be formatted accidentally

Could I get some help here.. I have a WD 300 gig harddrive formatted in NTFS. I have wiiflow on it. The games load.. I am unable to load any apps in wiiFlow... nor can it find wiiflow when I tell the HBC to use the HDD it crashes as well.

Really excellent improvements and bug fixes, I checked r838 out last night and could hardly fault it... The nand problems I had always had have all but vanished and this makes a massive difference to me.

I noticed one small problem, when I load wiiflow and select nand [sd] then exit wiiflow, I lose sync on the wiimote and it takes noticeably longer to come back on.

Really nice to hear you got forwarder working now in vwii too, think ill get my wiiu setup now and install wiiflow now that's all ready. Looking forward to that.

Nice one fix94, I'll try to test your latest version, thanks for everything.

r839 so far working like a dream, hmm.. any homebrew I can try where the 32mb limit can be tested?

Edit: And what is the updatetxturl= line in wiiflow.ini now? I don't have it in my latest wiiflow.ini but I did have it in my r828 wiiflow.ini.. does it have to do with internal updating?

 

[Etheboss]

does goto neek2o in the home menu also work for you guys in r839?
For me it just blackscreens and i see a blue drive led blink every 1/2 secs.

 

[FIX94]

Another forwarder test:
http://www.mediafire.com/?83qgm9u33x9l246
If I did everything correctly this one works on wii and vwii, it even returns to wiiflow from games for me now

Yeah, happens to me too. But its random. Somtimes it works, but after a while it doesnt. And when it happens I cant even start neek2o from the channel. I dont know, but it seams something break diconfig.bin or nandconfig.bin. When I erase them and start all fresh, I can launch neek again from the channel...

Hey guys, noob question here. I'm trying to transfer a couple of saves from real NAND to an emu NAND I already have set up on the HDD. According to the main page of the wiki it lists one of the features as "Copy savegames from real NAND to emu NAND". I only have a couple I need copied as almost all of them are already on the emu NAND. I was wondering if anyone can tell me where this setting is?
