Is there any way to not use vwiinands but nands as the folder for the emunand on a vwii? I have an emunand in a usb drive which is shared with a real wii, and renaming isn't a very comfortable solution.
I could use usbloadergx on the wii and point it to vwiinands, but WFL is my loader of choice, seems the most polished.
no but i will add an option soon (ii hope)

Hi, I see on github there is known issue with Wiiflow being unable to access the internet on a vwii if using a usb to ethernet adapter. Just wondering if there's any hope of this being fixed? I'm happy to help with testing if needed.

I'm using The Plugable USB2-E100 adapter which uses the same AX88772 chipset used in the official adapter. Wii u settings says wii u and wii next to the connection, and I've tested that it works in both modes. It seems it only doesn't work with Wiiflow, I guess it's more of a usb issue than adapter issue though.

Hello.:)

Today I tried WiiFlow v5.5.2 on the Wii U / vWii and my WD Elements 2 TB (always working before) is no longer detected by WiiFlow.

- Tried it of course as every Time on the Front and Back USB Ports of course with the Y-Cable as always.
- The Wii U is recognizing the HDD (and wants to format it,as always...:D
- I do not use any Tools like uStealth and that kind !


Any Ideas please ?
Thank you for your Help.:)

Does the older version still work?

Have you made any changes to cios's or cios settings?

Nothing,the only Thing - I have "updated" the two Folders "apps" and "wiiflow" from the downloaded Package from GitHub.

Maybe I should delete everything and make a fresh Install.....?

Ok,the HDD is now recognized in the vWii Mode after deleting the "apps/wiiflow" Folder Content and copied the new Files over.

I do not understand this.....

Plugging the HDD into the Wii - everything is working fine.

Wii Setup:
IOS249[56] (rev 65535, Info: d2x-v10beta52): Trucha Bug, NAND Access, USB 2.0
IOS250[57] (rev 65535, Info: d2x-v10beta52): Trucha Bug, NAND Access, USB 2.0
IOS251[38] (rev 65535, Info: d2x-v10beta52): Trucha Bug, ES Identify, NAND Access

Plugging the HDD into the vWii - The Games are start loading,but throwing back into the vWii System Menu Screen....:sad:

vWii Setup:
vIOS249[56] (rev 21010, Info: d2x-v10beta52-vWii): NAND Zugriff
vIOS250[57] (rev 21010, Info: d2x-v10beta52-vWii): NAND Zugriff
vIOS251[58] (rev 21010, Info: d2x-v10beta52-vWii): NAND Zugriff

Things to try.

1. rename gameconfig2.ini to back it up and have wfl create a new one.
2. delete or rename dev:/wiiflow/cache/lists folder to make wfl create a new one with new lists.
3. go to main settings>startup settings and try changing force cios on or off.
4. select a game and go to game settings and change the IOS to 250 or 251.
5. depending on the region of your console or games you may need to change your video mode per game.

do you use a USB HDD for your wii games or just SD card for wii games?

Had some odd issues today, with latest fresh installed wiiflow lite: Wii sports loads up fine but golf black screens after selecting miis.

The dual release Wii sports + Wii sports resort hangs on Wii remote strap screen on selecting Wii sports.

HOTD Overkill black screens after selecting the first level.

No idea why this is happening.

Does fresh install include a fresh wiiflow_lite.ini?

Yeah I removed everything old, including the covers, because initially I had an issue that when switching sources from GC to Wii the covers said “converting 26/50” or whatever and crashed out before even displaying the Wii games available :(

Oddly using USB loader also yields the exact same results so I wonder if my drive is corrupting things? Though it seems strange just golf doesn’t work in WiiSports lol.

I’ve been using WBFS format game images on a FAT 32 partition in USB1 on original Wii 4.2e for literally years, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the drive…

    ewww key shops...
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Why do you really want to use key shops nowadays? You're not really paying towards the companies who provided the keys, plus its very sketchy.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    https://gg.deals/game/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/ - I rather use the proper shops, but here are Key shops shown as well. They tell you the risks as well with each shop

  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    One of the keyshops is 95% off at the moment (probably humble bundle keys)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    And a small percentage of keys bought with a stolen credit card.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You never know if the key works or not, they don't provide a guarantee.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Sure is... and poor devs get hit with the charge backs

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Exactly.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Thor from "Pirate Software" said its just better to pirate the game than buy from a keyshop if you care about the devs

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    devs don't get hit with the chargebacks, the keys are free to generate
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    at least on steam
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Except he said the DEVS get hits with the chargeback cost
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If the game has a crack sure
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
