Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[MassiveRican]

updated extracted pack WF dol to 912
also added Not64 May 7 2013 which I grabbed from official website and worked very well
may N64 testers check the extracted pack for latest not64.dol and not64.ini and report the findings and bugs.
If all is cool, I'll update the pack

Wait which official thread? I go here. Is this where you go.. officialy? lol
I would think not, as the last beta they have there is 04082013

 

[MassiveRican]

RetroArch received another update 0.9.9.1 which fixes USB connection and snes9x-next speed regression so make sure to update the RetroArch boot.dol and replace your snes9x-next.dol in WiiFlow/plugins for a better gaming experience.

Yep same place page before the last.
Is snes9x the only new file in the new retro pack?
Edit and where can I get this file from, don't seem to find in Retro's thread?

I'm interested to know how you have it set up. I've also had problems with multiple mplayer inis. I have one ini for playing assorted video files, and one for isos, letting me play a 1:1 dvd image. I have all my videos on a NTFS partition on my 2TB HDD, with the wiiflow setup on SD. Each plugin works fine on its own, but when using multiple magics on one plugin, I can set the partition, go to any other plugin and when trying to go back to mplayer, I have to set the partition again. This used to work brilliantly. What rev was multi magics introduced so I can compare?

@FIX94 More recently it's been code dumping when I try select Mplayer using both inis. Here's the dump, I hope it helps. (although it appears to be different each time...)Oh, if you're feeling a great guy, I could also supply my inis, or you could let me have a look at a working setup.

Spoiler

Im using a version from last week, I'd have to check the exact number at home, but I was just incrementing the magic number, setting the TV shows directory in the path, and saving it with a new name and adding it to my source menu, it worked fine for three repetitions of the plugin then no more work.

Strange, in not64 forum there's no mention of a May release. I grabbed the file from your last link and, despite the zip name, meta.xml still says release 20130408.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Yep the file xml and date modified are same as old one, however this one worked! the old one blackscreened.
Since the post on gc-forever says May as the date posted, I thought calling this file "May" to distinguish it from the original one that didn't work
let's call it May release guys, come on

Rican: I believe they are calling this file 0.9.9-fix on the Retro thread, Shall I upload all the dols or just the snes-next?

 

[MassiveRican]

I would update all dol's to be safe since it fixes an issue mounting USB HDD's

 

[Tetsuo Shima]

@Abdallah: oh ok

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Ok guys all files updated and 912 pack is online now

Hello. i have a problem with plugins
Some of my plugins i have setup to use two magic numbers, for instance not64 and wii64, so the roms display together. i also do this for my snes using a snesgx and retroarch snes. the problem is when i try to use categories with a plugin that is using more than one magic number it affects the other plugins that are also using more than one magic number.. so if i have a category for my snes called "super fx games" and i enable the category, all my n64 roms from my n64 plugin will dissapear. basically the problem is that any plugins using more than one magic number will ALL share the same categories... it really sucks and i cant find a solution. i tried 50+ different revs and it seems there is no fix for this so far... i dont know waht to do, has anyone experienced same issue?? i need help please! thank you

(and yes i deleted my category file each time i try new revision, problem still remained)

 

[MassiveRican]

You should have said something at least 49 revs ago lol. Reporting is important to let the devs know what's going on and what to work on. That said since it was never reported, categories code hasn't been changed in quite awhile. Hopefully Fledge68 gets a chance to look at the issue. Thx

can you also see this issue on your wiiflow?

 

[MassiveRican]

Away from Wii this weekend but if anyone has an opportunity to try and reproduce that would be great. I use categories myself but haven't set them up for emulators with multiple magic#'s, mostly do SNES and Genesis right now. When I get some time I'll try it out.

I've been pushing for months for the categories to be revamped, per plugin, so that everything has only categories that pertain to each individual plugin, give each category its own image properties so we can set it up like the source menu, etc. but my cries have fallen on deaf ears. I've talked to Fledge directly, even posted the issue on the code page. It seems to be increasingly difficult for us commonfolk to get expert advice on our little problems or get feedback on ideas. I guess Fix and Fledge have bigger fish to fry, but I have yet to see their catch of the day.

Hey guys. I made a topic about this before noticing this topic buuut...


I downloaded the latest wiiflow app.

As I start it, it has about a 15 second load time, and then blank options to click. Blank options everywhere. And for some ungodly reason, I appear to be the only person out of 2 in the damn world that actually have this issue. :l

Change your forwarder.

 

[PyroSpark]

Change your forwarder.

Like on the app? Literally all the options are blank so I can't do that. <.<


Edit: this is painful.

Is there any app that can just load gamecube isos from a usb?

 

[VashTS]

try loading wiiflow from hbc, your forwarder is what you click on the system menu to get to wiiflow. ive had this issue before.

Just update your homebrew channel, also before updating make sure ios58 is installed, use the ios58 installer or whatever to get it properly...
