Hacking WiiFlow Lite

[Danimalzpwn3]

At the moment I am experiencing a problem with updating to any wiiflow lite greaterthan v5.2.0. On 5.2.0 it works grea no problems at all, once I update the directory isnt being read off the SD card, it tries to read it off the USB. It doesnt even acknowledge that SD exists, It wont load themes, etc. I have tried a clean install on a new SD still same problem and if I try to run the main folder on USB it gives me a DSI code dump

source tier backgrounds should go in wiiflow/source_menu/rhapsodii shima/backgrounds/
or wiiflow/source_menu/rhapsodii shima/backgrounds/rhapsodii shima/
either one should work.

Mine were in source_menu/backgrounds/rhapsodii shima/
Now I moved them to source_menu/rhapsodii shima/backgrounds and they work

Now I'm trying to do the same for the small_cover. Strangely some of them are not showing. And they're all from the wii tier.

@fledge68 I tried to help him, but couldn't find the issue. It appears that it cannot read the ROOT/wiiflow folder from SD.

yep we've been pm'ing ... strangely when he upgrades to any 5.3.0 beta's wiiflow can no longer mount his SD card. v5.2.0 SD card works fine.
yet i don't recall ever messing with anything that would cause his SD card not to mount.
so for now he will have to move everything to usb1 if he wants to use 5.3.0.

Thanks @Danimalzpwn3. I'm on 5.3.0 beta11 and it's not happening here. Which version are you using? I know Fledge is reworking the settings menu a little in recent revisions. When it will be ready for a new release, I will surely update my theme

 

[Danimalzpwn3]

@fledge68 and @Tetsuo Shima thank you for the support, it is a fix and it doesn’t ruin gameplay just I’ll convenient to be on usb but I’ll live! But I’m on beta 13, the settings button is off overlapping the first button, the help guide. Other than that it works like a charm! GAMEANDWATCH.png looks beautiful. Sega genesis isn’t showing up atm. As well as, how does the back.png look the one I sent? Hopeing to finish the last of the game and watch covers this week. I am debating if deleting all MAME, is it worth the hassle of setting up each core for each game?

 

[fledge68]

You could always try a different brand sd card. What kind do currently use?

 

[Danimalzpwn3]

@fledge68 i had a 64gb sd sand disk, then I went back to my old 2gb Kingston, then one I forgot the brand but also 2gb. All fat 32, nine of them worked, all worked on v5.2.0 though

 

[Tetsuo Shima]

Sega genesis isn’t showing up atm

the games or the background? (or both?)

how does the back.png look the one I sent?

It is good. I'm just waiting on that because back buttons may be subject to changes, too.

I am debating if deleting all MAME, is it worth the hassle of setting up each core for each game?

Mame may be not easy to setup, but it's well worth the work. Expecially wiimpathy's mame2003+ cores.
I was just about to post a compatibility list, compiled by @mastershoes and me to ease things up for users.

 

[Danimalzpwn3]

@Tetsuo Shima
Just the background isnt showing up, the rest, atleast for me show up. Gameandwatch is beautiful EDIT: Disregard this, I found the GENISIS had to rename to GENPLUS ith magic to work
Okay let me know on anything you might want help in, I'm pretty good at photoshop.
This is my mame game list, would like to play them, but if not possible, then I'll probably just delete.
Here is an edited NAND.jpg

 

[Tetsuo Shima]

take a look here for mame
Yeah I know, my Real Nand logo is not so great. What I like about it though, is that it features a picture of an actual wii nand chip.
Your suggestion is surely appreciated.
Maybe I will change it in the future, who knows, but I'm not planning to do it at the moment.

 

[Danimalzpwn3]

Thank you for the setup! And how do you create each different core? Meaning how do you set it up in Wii flow that they all appear in the same wiiflow library? Rather than 4 different libraries?

You can set up multiple magic numbers to your source menu ini's. They have to be comma separated. You can see examples in my theme's ini files.

 

[Danimalzpwn3]

Okay great thank you tetsuo, Ill reach out on the other thread, Hopefully it all comes out

Here's a little update :

ScummVM plugin 18

- Sync with Github.

Same changes as before. Some new games are supported like Duckman etc... No idea if it's working here.

Source code

Make sure your wbfs (Fat32) partition is set to Active too

I don't want to use wbfs or fat32...​

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

what do you use the 2nd partition for?
i'm pretty sure gamecube games and emu nand need to be on first partition and FAT32.

first partition:
apps for wii, gamecube games, scummvm game, and other apps...
Second Partition: (no limited 4Gb... with journaling)
only wbfs directory

no problem with other loaders (idem wiiflow4)

Hi all. Im trying to run wiiware and virtual console games off my emunand on my sd card. It boot up with 'Dsi Exception Occurred' everytime. I have to restart my console after that. It boot up the games fine with neek2o though.

Im running d2x v10 r52 cios, slot 250 base 57 as default, extracted my own emunand via wiiflow and on 4.3u firmware. Games tested are World Of Goo and Super Mario 64. Solutions? It seems i have to rely on neek2o for now. Thanks.

 

[Danimalzpwn3]

Hmmm.... honestly I do not know much about the emu NAND. I would check out another thread for it. All I know is, each emu nand is specific if you have vwii or wii

Did you enable "boot with neek2o" (or something like that) in game settings option?
