Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[bostonBC]

I think I am on latest Wiiflow (4.2?) and am going through HBC on my Wii U.

Can you run regular Wii games?

I use DIOS-MIOS to run my GC games so I don't have experience with using Devolution.

But having the app on SD and USB could be confusing. Try removing the SD/apps/wiiflow folder and any SD/wiiflow folder too and let Wiiflow from run USB.

I only would use Wiiflow for my GameCube games. I run Wii games off disc.

You are using DM? Can it be used on Wii U?

Does anyone know the wiiflow.ini setting to force it to read from USB Port 1? A friends Wii has a busted port 0.

I use DM on my regular Wii. Never tried it on the WiiU.

Ok, this is weird. CFG and USB Loader GX run games fine from port 0 but WiiFlow is either hanging half way through the progress bar when a game is loaded or it just returns back to WiiFlow. Here is the debug output:

ok so i extracted my emuNAND on wiiflow and it went straight to my hdd just like i wanted....my hdd is Fat32 all the way thanks to the help of ToddofWar420.....my question is where exactly do i go from here with this whole emuNAND thing do i store all my information from my sd card on the hdd as well the reason i ask is because i heard u can use the emuNAND on other wii's (not sure if other wii's do or don't need to be homebrewed in order to use it)

any assistants appreciated!

... daddio. If it's possible to have an editable order...{of covers in the sourceflow }

perhaps not ideal but editing the sort order should be as simple as numbering the names you give them in the title= line.
1. NES
2. SNES
3. N64
4. ETC.

Of course Simple but effective - Thanks - I think that's all fledge's questions covered

________________________________________________________________________________________

EDIT:
It would mean losing alphabetical ordering
But this won't:

Or add the use of the buttons [button_1] [button_2] already in the source_menu.ini as method of sorting.

And we'll still be able to customise the order with your app!

BOOM!

In case you are wondering why i havent committed sourceflow yet - its because I'm working out some kinks and adding some changes. when i get it working right i'll let you all know - hopefully in a couple days or less.

No rush! Thanks again man. I hope you find some of the stuff me and massive have been working on useful. Sorry I can't be of more help with the testing but I'm heavily committed for time just now - gaps may appear! - also, apart from checking with my setup I don't really know where to start

 

[flamepanther]

You are using DM? Can it be used on Wii U?

DM won't work on anything that doesn't natively support GameCube games. If Devolution isn't working out, cross your fingers for Nintendont to come out sooner rather than later.

 

[bostonBC]

I ended up deleting the WiiFlow save and it started working again. Very strange that it would hang in the middle of the progress bar loading.

I think the source flow background should be the same as the Source Menu background, as it would look like the themer envisioned it when they put their theme together.
Also, how many USERs are allowed? Want to update the Droidflow Theme, but any less than 3 and it won't turn out right.

4 user labels as usual

Carbonic Abz Theme for WiiFlow 4.21 Beta rev1004+ with SourceFlow v1.0
Download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2jirafxpb1jq9hz/Carbonic Abz Theme for WiiFlow 4.21 Beta rev1004+ with SourceFlow v1.0.7z

Changelog:
1.theme updated for all new sourceflow stuff in rev 1003
2.Added new "My Plugins" button for custom combination of magics
3.Added new source menu Full cover for ResidualVM-Grim and the new "My Plugins" cover

Spoiler

4.Fixed many cover positions and titles in brewflows

Spoiler

So We now have 3 ways to display the source menu:
A. Classic Source menu (i.e. source menu enabled AND sourceflow option "off")

Spoiler

B.SourceFlow with tiny covers using brewflows (i.e. source menu enabled AND sourceflow option "on" AND use Smallbox "on")

Spoiler

C.SourceFlow with full covers using coverflows (i.e. source menu enabled AND sourceflow option "on" AND use Smallbox "off")

Spoiler

P.S. The file is relatively big since "png" files and not jpg's are used for the Full Sourceflow (72 covers)
This is completely optional and cosmetic, so ppl who are not going to use the sourceflow just need the updated Carbonik Abz.ini file and the latest Wiiflow-Dol

Tips:
Remember that multisouce features only work in classic mode
Also note that classic mode won't use cache files while source flow does
Please be patient and wait for a complete cache build before selecting sources, and launch a game or exit wiiflow to save the settings

Thanks to Fledge68 for this awesome piece of art
P.S. there's still one option "B for Source" that was not added to the source settings page 2 (for the sake of completion an empty spot is available there)

 

[spacepimp]

Just looks amazing, thanks fledge AND Abz for all your hard work.
I'll stop saying 'thanks' now, I'm starting to get strange looks...

I compiled r1004 with this animation, I thought I might as well share it

Replace the boot.dol in your apps/wiiflow folder with this one:

Updated my categories_v4.ini with Disney Infinity - 1314 titles categorized with ESRB ratings.

I just got the new Wiiflow v4.2, and have 2 questions, could anyone help me out ?

1. The Wiiflow source code page says "-a new Source Menu feature to select multiple coverflows to display at the same time" Does this mean multisource lets you have a source menu button that displays both my real nand and emu nand at the same time?

2. I noticed B no longer returns you to the source menu. I know this was talked about in the forums as being potentially removed, but last I heard it was going to be an option in wiiflow.ini. I didn't see it in wiiflow.ini, so does anyone know how to enable it? If it's not option, is there anyway to get back to the source menu after selecting a source other than restarting Wiiflow?
