Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

DaveZ said - Nope, not a thing has changed for me. I start flipping through the source menu, graghics start disapearing by page 5, then all are gone by the time I am back at page 1. Click on a box cover/game and BAM... I am dumped :-( Dunno what the devil is going on....

That sounds like a problem I had a long time ago when I first made the source menu. I recently removed part of the code for setting the texture of a source button. The part that allocates memory. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Does anyone else have this issue? What about you Abz? I'm sure you have like 5 or 6 pages for the source menu.

Negative, but I have to double check using the same sequence, 'll edit when done.

I was able to reproduce my problem using the.dol you provided to show the memory usage.
It's just stops showing covers after awhile. After I try to 'redownload' them to get them to show, I get this.

That memory usage is for sure not enough, how the hell are you able to get it that low lol, both mem1 and mem2 are way too low...

AbdallahTerro · Nov 30, 2012

Yeah, Dave I reproduced the bug.
going through source menu pages 3x and the icons disappear.

Hi Fix94 - what does WiiU compatibility in r802 mean?

Is there a forum for WiiU hacking?

and I think the only change is that if it doesn't get AHBPROT patched out and there's no cIOS installed it just doesn't try to reload the cIOS and stays with it's limited functionality on IOS58.

kineticUk · Nov 30, 2012

Haven't had a chance to test 4.0.4 but thanks all involved and I'm looking forward to updating.
I am really grateful for fixes.. only problem I have with wiiflow right now is the broken sd stuff.
(sd nand emu, channel loading and savegame emulation)
hoping this can get fixed as its really good to have these functions.. missing them.

I had an idea to reduce memory usage:
teeny tiny wait animations :

Tiniest/funkiest 16x9 10 frame mini "wait" animation competition anyone?
I am so up for this.
@ about 2KB a pop (I'm sure this could be reduced) and the processing required to scale and animate tiny images, I don't know how much it'd help, tbf. ( there's also a fuzzy processing in play that I can't find the term for: When viewing low resolution images at high magnification, the individual pixels may be clearly delineated, or merged into the adjacent pixels, perhaps this functionality will significantly add to the processing?

The Wii U is now in the hands of the Europeans, there is hope.

A wild, hail mary, stab in the dark, potential strategy to free up memory:

Drop the 2d multipage source menu for something wiiflow can already do.

Yes! Thank you very much! Whatever you did it seems to have fixed it. I screwed around in source_menu selections for like the last 20 minutes, not prob so far!

fledge68 · Dec 1, 2012

Glad to hear Fix fixed the source menu problem. I had a feeling it had something to do with not clearing the textures before changing them. sorry guys I'm not as good at coding as Fix but I try.

DaveZ_227451 · Dec 1, 2012

Aaahh.. TGIF!!! Sounds like I come home to good news. :-0 Hopefully get to try it out in abit after some unwind time...

EDIT:

Thanx a million fix, abz, MS and everyone else... All seems to be working flawlessly again. And I am playing Final Fantasy V via psx to boot!!! Happy days. :-)

Neo-Geo full cover set is now live on the cover thread (check my sig). Since all of our working neo-geo roms are named the same, i went ahead and fully renamed all of them to match the zips (extension included) and accounted for (duplicated and renamed) all necessary files for games that require more than one zip file. There are 127 titles covered.. should be everything that is currently supported on the Wii, minus a handful of homebrews (Columns, Neo-Pong, and Zintrick). This should be the easiest cover setup ever!

papermanzero · Dec 1, 2012

After the new release of dios mios (with multidisc support), I would like to know how to hide the second disc in the wiiflow gamecube view.
At the moment wiiflow displays the second disc in order to select it. But with the new dios mios this option is not necessary anymore.
