Is there a way to use your source menu with the default theme? I have it working but the orientation for the images are horizontal instead of vertical and they animate like the standard source menu rather than like yours. I have small box art set in the source menu settings because without it the images are stretched, distorted, and attached to 3d models of boxes as if they were games.

Can anyone help me with this? The source menu looks all weird. I have two different wii systems and one looks normal with the theme and the source menu on the other looks weird. Nothing else is wrong with the theme just the source menu. If anyone could help me that would be appreciated. I can move left, right, up, and down for some weird reason.
Hello. Is it possible to fix the 4:3 source_menu bug? I just need it for 4:3 reso :(

@biggzsizzle

hi biggzsizzle, i love your Theme so much but I can‘t get it run on my Wii.
Is it possible that you write a short manuel for installation ? Does it work with wiiflow 5.4.9?
Sorry I hadn't checked this post recently,..as far as a 4:3 "bug",.. I haven't used my Wii in 4:3 mode in,....well,...Never :|
As for v5.4.9 compatibility,..I'll have to check in with both of these questions, and get back to you. I've been really consumed with everyday-to-day life and the relentless Switch modding..lol
As for any type of guide for installation,...
I reccomend a fresh install when it comes to wiiflow,...
I'd start by downloading the app, then the plug-ins pack by @Tetsuo Shima, then get my theme. Decide where you want to install it (SD or USB drive), extract the wiilfow app to the root of the device you choose, to create "sd:/apps/wiiflow/" and "sd:/wiiflow/" after that, extract and copy contents of the plugin pack, and finally, extract my theme to the root of the same device and overwrite if prompted.

Did I leave anything out guys? It's kinda late, and I'm a little too elevated to be typing all this lol

You can make it work,..it's gonna be a lot of text comparisson and editing though,..
Install notepad++ (its free) use it to open
"sd:/wiiflow/themes_lite/coverflows/default.ini"
and
"sd:/wiiflow/themes_lite/coverflows/Carbonix.ini"
I think those are the right files,..(Man, I gotta start my Wii up more often)

He could just make a copy of Carbonix.ini and rename it to default.ini
To also have the exact same entries on the Default theme, he also need to copy tall he source menu .ini files from wiiflow/source_menu/Carbonix to wiiflow/source_menu

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.

    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
