Just changed my opinion about that cIOS stuff lol, if wiiflow finds that IOS249 is present, it will now be loaded, if its not found, it will just use IOS58. May you guys could try it?

KiWii, your problem should be gone forever with that one.

Did u change back to cIOS249 because of vWii mode?

I find myself switching back and forth with wiimotes between wii and wiiu. It'd be nice if it were possible to sync up wiimotes within wiiflow.

So does wiiflow use cIOS instead of IOS58 like old versions now?
That's a shame... I liked IOS58 and switching to cIOS when needed seemed to work well on my setup. What was the problem with it out of interest?

Well I still like that idea too, not sure how I'll handle it in the future, may release a cIOS and one IOS58 version?

If possible i would try to stick with a single version ("forceloadcIOS" or similar .ini setting used to set this?).
I know you will know best how to handle it though, amazin' work FIX94, thanks mate.

FIX94 · Dec 25, 2012

The problem on that setting is that its slow as hell on boot lol.

bostonBC · Dec 26, 2012

Ok, I am ready to unbox my Wii-U and see what it can do. Is the WiiUHax site real?

http://wiiuhax.com/

Looking for a good tutorial on how to get homebrew and WiiFlow working in Wii emulation mode on the Wii.

Ha right i didn't know about that,
What about option to switch "IOS/cIOS" in the wiiflow settings, effective on next boot (after exiting wiiflow)?
I guess though thinking about this it would still slow booting down...

drakorex · Dec 26, 2012

Havin trouble launching wiiware with neek2o on vwii. Is there something different I need to do?

My 825-mod pack is the last one that boots with IOS58, otherwise it has the same features as rev828, I'll keep it in my download folder as a "historic icon"

Everytime i try to start a game it hangs on the black screen with a white loading bar or it just sends me back to system menu.

(On vWii.)

panmusic · Dec 26, 2012

FIX94,please listen to me.
I just tried the last Wiiflow rev you posted here with vWii.So far,I have installed succesfully d2x-v10-beta53-alt-vWii with 249(56),250 (57) and 251 (58).I have tested several PAL games and everything seems to work perfectly EXCEPT 2 games.

1) Kirby's Adventure Wii (PAL). I tried every option available and every cIOS to run the game but without success.A black screen always.

2)CoD MW3 (PAL) I tried also every cIOS (I know it runs with base 56 so I checked this first) and the game seems to load fine.BUT,when I select the first mission,the game loads,autosaves and after that it hangs.
The weird issue is that every other CoD game I tried to run via my NTFS HDD run perfectly including Black Ops.

So here is the important part.I am pretty confident that this is a loader issue because the same games run perfectly with Cfg.

So,FIX94 can you check it,please?

Wiiflow.log, oh and that codedump says that it cant access your sd card, sure its supported by wiiflow?
It would be good if you could post your wiiflow.ini here too...

@fix94, I tried 2 different SD cards, SanDisk 16GB MicroSD card with Adapter and SanDisk 2GB SD card and they both dump when I have SD logging enabled I have several other cards but I don't think the SD card is the issue anymore. I'll try some more if you suggest it though. Here's my ini for r823, the latest I'm using.

Updated Carbonik Abz theme 4.0.6+ to Final
*Minor cosmetic fixes for coverflows
*Fixed "Exit to" menu buttons length so that "Homebrew channel" fits on one line
*Fixed Flipped cover views
*Super long titles fixed in all views
*Tv3.png is used as default banner frame (you can always change that in the theme ini user5 section
*New: 16:9 coverflows + long titles fix + flipped cover view fix

This will be part of my future packs but for now here's the standalone version: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?1xty2fj7fdu2obh

Edit1: Please report any bugs that I might have missed during the long editing process

Edit2: The custom missing covers are not included in this standalone rar file.

Hey, fledge68, love the r828 addition. I was actually about to make a feature suggestion with something similar.

Is there something we need to edit in our source_menu.ini file for this to work?

Also, (as a further enhancement) would it be possible to have a setting for each button in the source_menu.ini file to tell it which partition to use?
For me, I have some minor space issues and with larger images like Sega CD or PSX as well as some larger media player files like movies it's easier for me to have some on one partition and some on another (or on the SD card). It would be even easier if I could have a separate source menu button for each partition.

(Particularly, if this could be implemented for ALL source menu buttons, even GameCube games, I have games I use with Devolution on my SD card and games I use with DiosMios on my HDD and having a quick source menu button to choose which one would be more convenient than pressing B + (-) to rotate through all my partitions until I get to the right one.)

EDIT : Also, @AbdallahTerro, just looking through your masterpiece collection and it looks like you have up to Devolution r168 in there. There's now a r169 that reportedly adds GC keyboard emulation through a USB keaboard. Might be a nice addition.

FIX94 · Dec 26, 2012

I think I finally found a cool way to handle that IOS stuff

To my changelog:
-BETA wiiflow saves ios settings on the NAND from now on, so loading up wiiflow is much faster if you use force cIOS load, you can actually delete, move, copy or whatever the save directly from the system menu like a normal game save (may more things will be done in the future this way)
You can set that stuff directly in the general settings, page 2, last option, that handles the cIOS stuff. If you want to see anything else saved nand specific, just say it, this way is fast and smooth as you will notice

(still quite dirty coded though lol)

kineticUk · Dec 26, 2012

Thanks and I like that you got the IOS stuff nicely sorted, excellent.
Maybe more settings from program/.ini could be instead saved there too (future versions)?

FIX94 · Dec 27, 2012

Yea, I would like that too, if you guys got suggestions what to move just say. Oh and you may try r830:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6wjj4abjozclgww
Fixed that broken savegame emu from sd/usb when using full, fixed the online feature in wii games and improved that ios setting by auto updating nand if the ini got changed.

I just tried rev830 but these 2 games have the same problems.Is anyone else having the same issues with PAL CoDMW3 and PAL Kirby's Adventure Wii?

FIX94,can you help me please?
