Thanks, I'll try!

I have a quick question - are there plans to add support for .wdm files (i.e. alt dol plus) in upcoming revs of wiiflow? I remember this was discussed a while ago, but I haven't heard any news about it in some time. I think it would be good to add this because then the sam & max games (and maybe other games) would be playable in wiiflow.

There were no plans last time I checked, due to so few games needing alt dol plus. I'm not sure if Mougotu or r-win changed their mind since then.

Wiiflow will default to the hdd, even when creating ini files or whatever files you need. If you have a FAT32 partition on your hdd, it will use it. We didn't change that, 1.1 also had that behavior.
Well, thats good to know, but to my opinion it should also be possible to use the SD card for wiiflow even with a FAT formatted HDD. Of course, using a forwarder channel doesn't make it less convinient to start wiiflow from a HDD, but it's slower and indeed less convinient to run from HBC.
Anyway very nice app you have there. From what I've seen it's very nice looking and ran any game I threw at it.

If you dont have any apps on SD HBC defaults to showing apps on HDD.

I doubt it, at least in the near future. You can already select an alt dol in wiiflow. We have some other projects first and if we get ahead of them then we may consider it, but dont hold your breath lol.

Fair enough - alt dols have been available since the beginning in wiiflow, and this only improves compatibility for 2 games. I agree that the other projects are more important and it makes sense that you and r-win are focusing more on that.

Until then, I'll just use neogamma or config to play the sam & max games.

How can I add thp files? I tried SD:\wiiflow\trailers\RMGE01.thp but it won't work

Do I need some more files e.g. *.ini for *.thp?

I'm pretty sure that the riivolution folder was for a proof of concept that r-win did in one of the earlier revs (r42, I think). If you do a fresh install it will no longer make a riivolution folder, so I think that this feature has either been disabled or removed.

yeah the devs should really explain the new features and how they must be setup either by including an up-to-date readme as the old ones refer to 1.1 and dont include any updated or added features or getting the OP updated instead of having to troll thru pages to find the answer

well, whatever i do, it wont see my fat or ntfs partition.

tried from card, then from hdd itself, on all occasions i deleted everything wiiflow related ofcourse.

and it just wont work.

as soon as i make the hdd wbfs, works perfectly, where ever i put wiiflow.

meh, ill just stick to wbfs, just hate it that windows cant see that hdd then xD

Then I think you didnt create your fat partition right. Use gparted live cd (google) and make your fat32 partition, also make sure it is a primary partition and active.

As for the updating of the readme's and documenting of features, I need people to volunteer to add information to the new wiki I started at http://sites.google.com/site/wiiflowiki/ If you want to help or add some things PM me your google ID so I can add you, thanks.

Can we expect a new WODEFlow to come out based on the new Wiiflow revisions now that 2.0 is out?

I'm assuming your talking about the forwarder channel.
It doesn't matter which one you use as long as its looking in the right place for the boot.dol file.

Agreed. I for one think a brand new WiiFlow thread should be made since r-win and company took the helm. The first post can be kept up to date since this one is never updated.

Has anybody got trailers to work yet? Are they supposed to work yet or is this a future feature. I copied one down for super mario galaxy went of the cover and pressed the up button and all that happens is the focus toggles between the play and back buttons. would like to see these in action if anyone knows how to make work.
