Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[bostonBC]

Wow, so 3mb seem to make a huge difference already I guess, now the question is what to do there hm...

Back from dinner and the movie...

Let me know if I can help in any way. I can check it on my 3TB drive too. That only has another 100 games or so but I can check it there if you like.

I found that if you press reset after it freezes it eventually code dumps. Did you want me to post those images?

@ corrupted that game doesn't work with emunand saves

Oh, I wonder why, is it on emunand's end or is it the games?

I don't think it works in full emunand. Just Game Saves from Wii's nand. I haven't tried it tho, but that's what Fix94 told me when I was having problems getting it to boot.

I tried it just on game saves, full emunand does not work for me.

Its a cIOS problem, not all wii games work with emu nand via d2x way. The only way to get a full compatility is neek2o...
@bostonBC:
Of course I want all pics you get, makes it easier to debug you know.
May try out r866, changed the mem thing a bit again for security reasons.

I have created a programm to convert DVD Folders to ISO file, the interesting thing, my program can assign an ID and name to the created dvd (Like Wii ISO Header)
Wii ISO Header => (R**P00..................].......Game name)
DVD ISO Header => (MMNP00..................].......Movie name)
Maybe it's useful for wiiflow to show Movies ID!

Yes! r866 fixes the loading cover hanging problem.

Thanks!

 

[AbdallahTerro]

r866 and 867 are loading 10,200 covers with no issues here.
Both choke at 12,000 when mem1 gets full

Many new updates coming soon.
Stay tuned

Sega Genesis/MegaDrive all-inclusive sets have been updated on the thread, in process of doing the individual folders, but there's 1900 covers X 2 (standard & shrunken spine) to upload, so it's gonna take awhile before those are up! Link to the thread is in the siggy, happy flowin'! Fixing up the Master System sets is next on the agenda.

FWIW r867 looks pretty good. I've tried it on my 2TB drive with 1186 games and it looks stable.

[wiikey]

any one upload a complied rev867 please

 

[bostonBC]

Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?i7jt1ocy2io5r7v

edit: stupid mediafire renamed the file. Just rename it to boot.dol and it will be fine.

 

[FIX94]

Would be better if you guys test r868:

Now that I've realized the unintuitive commands for DVD menu navigation, is there any way to make dvd isos with menu and other video formats work at the same time? Right now 1:1 dvd isos work (the 1 I've tried) but all other videos, mostly mp4, just return to wiiflow when launched. (The file extension is still in the ini.) I suppose I could make a second ini just for full dvd isos, but only if there's no other option.

New world record

No cover corruption
Failed at 20,000
Thanks Fix

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Forget everything about my previous post, here's the winner:
15,802 Covers
That's 5,000 more covers than rev867 can handle
cache\lists folder around 8+ MB when limit is reached
P.S. Record depends on # of consecutive trials and # of plugins selected

Screenie:

Got those codedumps while trying to break the record @Fix94

Spoiler

Edit: @fledge68 also found during testing that my Sinclair button (running 2 magic numbers) is displayed as selected when it's not and vice versa but works fine, just a minor bug

• Add it to your source_menu.ini

• To create ISO'S from folders (dvd folder) http://www.mediafire.com/?vr1o5fph0rvn3vb (ISO ID: I'll activate it later, if it's useful for wiiflow to show Movies ID!)

Btw:
To create ISO: Tools menu/ Create ISO'S

15,802 Covers

you have big hdd no

 

[AbdallahTerro]

you have big hdd no

500 GB only, most covers are for Emulators i.e. custom missing covers in 512x360 pixels

 

[pokemonster]

500 GB only, most covers are for Emulators i.e. custom missing covers in 512x360 pixels

512 x360 pixel (size) is the best for cover games of emuflow ?

 

[MassiveRican]

500 GB only, most covers are for Emulators i.e. custom missing covers in 512x360 pixels

No wonder your getting those numbers

I have all of MS/TOW420's cover sets with cover_use_HQ=yes and I don't think I could get that high w/o getting a code dump with full HQ covers, however I don't have that many games anyway lol! I have 420+ Wii Games and Several Thousand emu games but even my 1TB HDD can't hold everything I want. I have GC games with DM(L) & Devo, Sega CD, PSX, and a bunch of 16-bit emu's and NES & PCE for all my 8 bit needs and of course RetroArch as much RetroArch as I can get lol!

Even then my numbers don't reach that high, I only use games that have covers with the exception of a few RPG and Japan only goodies.

512 x360 pixel (size) is the best for cover games of emuflow ?

It's the best cover size for Abz custom "no cover" covers for all consoles

I prefer to go with full HQ covers whenever possible.
