if the covers are all blank boxes then its most likely the out of memory issue caused by having too many games and the images of your modified theme being too large in bytes.

@blackb0x shrunk (can't think of right term) all of rhapsodii shima images to make them smaller in bytes but still look good.

what happens is the cover is downloaded and saved to usb or sd card but the making to wfc part doesn't work do to not enough free memory. even though it says it makes it - it doesn't. @Wiimpathy created a homebrew app that does the converting to wfc that you may want to try. its called CreateCache - https://github.com/Wiimpathy/CreateCache

You are awesome @fledge68 ! :grog:

It worked like a charm! :yaywii:

I found a bug. Mario Kart: Double Dash displays twice for some reason. I double checked my folders and there's only one copy in there.

I found a bug. Mario Kart: Double Dash displays twice for some reason. I double checked my folders and there's only one copy in there.

I had something like that happen to me also, but found it was another custom Mario Kart just using the same ID code and then double posting it in the loaders.

I found the duplicates by loading the drive up in Wii Backup Manager and then sorting by the ID code to find what it was. It does not matter what the file is called or the ID included on the file, the loaders read the games header to display the game and then that header is compared against that ID in tour title.txt or custom-title.txt list to display the cover art. One of the games might just be labeled wrong when looking at the file name. You're probably looking for the code RMCE78.

I ended up going in and making up a game ID for it, adding it to the custom-titles.txt, made covers with the new corresponding ID and then edited the games title header to the new ID. For that had to convert the game back to ISO, edit the header with WiiISO Renamer and then convert it back to wbfs. I have actually done this with all my titles that have different version numbers or the undubs so I can keep them all on the same drive without repeating the same game ID number. Plus if the same ID exists I think the loader just loads the first one it comes across and ignores the others, so before this I could have only one in the wbfs directory at a time to work properly. Now each version or undub is treated like a separate and independent game that is easily accessible.

Let me know if this was also your issue or if it indeed is a bug.

hi everyone, as the loader can access the real nand to show the channels and games stored there, is there a way to show the content moved to sd card under the official system menu (those content.bin files in sd\private folder)?
this will be useful to manage the titles that are not compatible neither with emunand nor with neeko, saving real nand space...

I don't think it's currently possible with wiiflow.

Are there any? What title are you referring to?

well, many of them, at least for my setup (d2x v8final and sneeko). the last i tried that didn't work were la-mulana, alien crush returns and a couple of commodore 64 vc, but i remember there were many more...
maybe i have to update to d2x v10 but i think it's quicker leaving all vc and wiiware titles on sd menu at this point...

Yes it must be a CIOS issue, I have all the games working with emunand / neek2o, including the ones you tried

Slowly but surely getting even kinks ironed out. I’ve found some issues with a few wii games that have default settings that didn’t work for my set up. Some were trying to run off of specified iOSs, switching them to ‘auto’ fixed the issue. Others were set to run on progressive but I've just got RGB so switching it to NTSC fixed those issues.

Few questions that I still have:
I noticed that the Wii banners don’t quit fit their window. Is there a way to adjust this?

The cover art images are rather large and I don’t believe that they need to be. Is there an optimal resolution size for these?

My GC & Wii disk art isn’t showing up. I have them saved in the cart_disk folder just like the cover art, files named with the gameid. Do I need to switch the naming convention or put them into specific folders?

The banners and snapshots are using the snapshot images. Is there a way to use two different images? I have a collection of title snaps that I would like to use for one or the other.

I hate using the wiimote for games like New Super Mario Bros and Metroid Other M. Is there a way to set up other controller types? I have GC controllers and also the SNES classics that plug into the wiimote. SNES classics work great for Capcom vs Tatsunoko, for KoF they wouldn’t work, Metal Slug they wouldn’t work either. Sounds like an odd solution but could you emulate these games through Dolphin to set up proper controls?

Whenever I choose Game Boy Advance in wiiflow it says no plugin selected, how do I fix this?
So, you set a plugin for GBA but Wiiflow still tells you no plugin selected?
Which WF version do you have? Are you using the Plugins Pack?
A recent WFL update fixed an issue with too many plugins, which caused some of them to show the 'no plugins selected' message. So if you haven't already done so, update Wiiflow

I've gone through all of this already and long story short, none of it actually helpful.

I've actually got UNeek working with USB Loader GX but I can't seem to get it working with WiiFlow on the vWii.
