Well,I have tried every new revision from 142 to 147 and I think that I start to understand where the problem lies-at least for me.
The first time I deleted the old inis and made a clear install everything seemed to run perfectly.But,when I was restarting Wiiflow there was a problem loading all the boxcovers and as a result Wiiflow was freezing.
The important thing is that Wiiflow seemed to have no problem to load the first 30-40 boxcovers everytime while all the rest were stuck with the 'loading' message.My take on this is that perhaps there is some memory issue here.Or,the true source of my problems is that I have around 150 isos installed.
Has anyone tried the newest revisions while having more than 50 games installed?
I hope that my observations will help you,guys and please forgive my bad english.

A lot of ppl have more than 150 isos installed. But try removing your wiitdb.zip or wiitdb.xml from /wiiflow/settings (if you have one). If you try running wiiflow without those files, what happens then?

Also, for problems with unreleased revisions, please come to IRC. We like to have this forum dedicated to people who use releases of wiiflow.

I think it's great that people have gotten this to work, but I just spent LITERALLY an entire weekend (surfing many forums & trying many combinations of cIOS) trying to get this on my chip modded wii w/o success. It was working today but then crashed. :/

Hopefully someday, this will be as easy, simple and stable as USB Loader GX.

Just a warning so others don't waste their time, if you can't set it up as quick and easy as USB Loader GX, I wouldn't waste anymore time on it.
Say r-win, didnt you use to do some code for USB Loader GX?
Whats your take on this?

To activate Progressive Scan on metroid trilogy do I need to only change mode to progressive mode on Wiiflow's game settings or do I need to activate video patch and other functions too?

Hey all I came to brag a little. Wiiflow as of r151 is the first loader to reliably be 100% ntfs. This means your covers, ini's, games, even boot.dol (providing you have a way to launch it since hbc doesnt support ntfs) CAN BE ON NTFS! You can download covers to it, install games on it from inside wiiflow, all totally working as of now. This has been in the working for the past week after Dimok updated libntfs3g in wiixplorer, and I re-implemented the frag code to be able to launch games on it. As of 151 the old "files >4gb wont play" bug is fixed as well.

There is a forwarder that is being completed to allow some apps to be in ntfs, yet forwarded from HBC with ios58 support. For now you can install our boot.dol in priiloader for autoboot, or install it in fat32 and tell wiiflow.ini to use data_on_usb=yes.

I know IRC should be the place but since it is a live chat and there is no way to see previous "posts/chats" I would like to say I experience this exact same issue as the above poster described when I tried rev 147. I didn't notice the problem right away but only after I played a game and came back into Wiiflow. I have about 135 games on a single FAT32 partition. I too started with a completely blank slate when I started rev 147. In fact I experience freezes or crashes with any revision above 130 so 130 is where I am staying now. I retrieved the rev 147 from the FTP site listed in the IRC chat room. It is the CIOS249 version and I have CIOS249 base 38 rev 19 installed.
