who here is really good with creating wii forwarder channels
you have plenty of US that do channels. i say stop by Abdhalla Terro's threads an poke around there. or you can hit this site for some channels.
http://wadder.freeforums.org/ an if this doesn't do it. then there are plenty of other sites to hit. i only make channels for my benifit. i have uploaded a few to use. (*my benifit means mine have nin code cause i hate the repeated animation. so i use crap channels or wadded nin channels. an can't upload those.)

i think i found a bug, but maybe its just my setup. I am using the 8-bit forwarder with v14b of the forwarder dol embedded. when i load wiiflow from the channel I get no DM detection and i cannot change the return to channel option, it just says disabled. when i load wiiflow from HBC it works great, and very fast I may add nice job on the latest rev.

i got latest d2xv10 installed, never had this issue prior on this channel. i have been using this channel for years now. anyone have this issue and resolved it?

That sounds great, if you guys got any problems still then say it, I wanna release 4.1.1 tomorrow, and for everyone who missed the link to r892, here you go again:

r892 looks a bit faster but I had some strange problems on my 2TB system but I think it was my drive since it doesn't happen on the 3TB one.

Run one game exit, scroll through a lot of games (I used a 3-up display) then go to another game and click play. It freezes up when you click the button and doesn't run the game.

It happened the first 2 times I ran Mario Party 9 first and then The Croods. After exiting MP9 I use the B right button to scroll by letter to the T's and then page to The Croods game. After rebooting I've only seen it 1 more time so it must be a glitch.

And thanks for accepting #175, I think it will be a real cool addition.

I don't know why, but WiiFlow keeps screwing around with the "Last Date/Time Played" function of some of my games, notably Fortune Street.

http://www.twitch.tv/supabullet/b/384594895

Start at 12:05 and keep watching from there as I try to trouble shoot the issue (loading from the disc, reinstalling, reloading, checking the wii's internal clock, etc).

It always reports as 12/31/2002

↓↓ This still, any chance you could look into it? Please let me know if you need anything to isolate what this might be, like a log or anything else. :D
However what I have been getting for a while are 682 kb randomly named files on the root of my USB drive whenever I use the plugins. Today it was 5, o, m, ypg, it's crazy, no extension but they are damn near 1Mb so it could definitely be problematic if you never delete the files. I always delete em' but I don't know what the fak they are or why they're showing up but again my guess is plugins. Can anyone else confirm if they're getting this issue?
im kinda outta date lol i think im still on r888 i need to update tomorrow but i was getting them too so its not just u man
And also this XD ↓

Confirmed. It's happening to me as well. EDIT: It's random though, it only happens 1 out 5 times it seems.

awesome you both can help me out greatly than i have an incredible idea unfortunatly to make it happen ill need some help, Im sure damn near everyone on here grew up with sega channel and remembers that awesome opening sequence where sonic turns on the sega channel ...well! i have hopes of recreating that as eather a forwarder for genplusgx or wiiflow(except for wiiflow as a channel instead of saying sega channel it will say wiiflow channel with the same logo for sega channel) i have luckily found and downloaded the original full soundtracks for all of sega channel for wiiflow as .ogg's now the tough part is recreating a forwarder! if anyone is up for this challege please let me know i know it will bring back incredible memories for everyone to enjoy! thanks to anyone that helps and reads this!

I finally figured out what was wrong with my mod of the CFG Mighty Channels plugin for use with WiiFlow. It was the INI file all along. I just took off the sd: or usb: from the beginning of the emuNAND path and it works fine now.

Here it is with the fixed INI's
http://www.mediafire.com/?oa045mcfp329e9x

Just remember that you'll have to replace my emuNAND path with your own in the INI file in the first part of the arguments= line and remember NOT to include the sd: or usb: in that.

EDIT : as usual, updated on the plugin thread

682kb, thats the default size of a cached wii or gc game cover, now the question is why do you have randomly named ones somewhere on your drive? And does that happen with that new rev as well? Or does it just happen since the new rev?

Well it's been happening since the last few revs as well as the latest rev. Files always appear on the root of the drive. I'll do a bit of testing now, to check if it only happens with emulator games or with Wii/GC games as well.

Hey guys, happy easter!
Finally after 4 months I think its time to give out 4.1.1, according to my svn program we changed 143 files, so I'm not sure if I'll get everything written down in this small log. Currently I dont have much time because of important life stuff, so I cant remember everything done in those 4 months here. Let me just name a few important changes to you:
-changed back the homebrew bootup size, should fix homebrew booting for the 3tb+ hdd users
-hardcore speedup for channel booting using the real dol instead of loading the apploader, added a gui option per game to switch back to boot apploader if its needed for compatility reasons, with that real dol we can also finally do patching, so you can force video modes, languages etc in your wiiware and virtualconsole stuff
-made the wii disc light option also compatible with wii games and channels, if you enable this option the disc light will always be on if you play the game where you enabled it
-fixed up the wiimote controls, now should be working better with extensions like nunchuk and classic controller, unwanted problems like when pressing c on the nunchuk makes the coverflow going left are fixed this way
-changed our ios patching system, that means people with the issue of missing text in wiiflow should finally see everything just fine again
-FINALLY added a option to use the usb port 1, just check out the startup options in the general settings, as soon as you selected the port there and you go back wiiflow will apply that change on the fly, also this option is working per wii using our wiiflow save file, so if you use wiiflow on another wii it will use the options set from this wii and not on your own one
-updated the gc disc 2 support, now you can finally handle both discs separate, so for example if you hide disc 2 it wont hide disc 1 too, also improved the devolution support, more filenames are getting checked (gam1, gam2 and disc2 compared to gam1 only)
-added a random game booting option, simply press b on the question mark icon to boot some random game in your current coverflow
-added a way to combine multiple coverflows, only works if you use wiiflow packs for the source menu, then you can simply press b on the pictures of the coverflows you want to combine, go back and everything is mixed
-fixed the configuration file handling of wiiflow when they are on a NTFS partition
-added the dios-mios screenshot feature option, you can set it per game
-after returning wiiflow from a game etc you now will get back to the coverflow you were in before, it wont just reset back to the wii game coverflow anymore
-if only one music file exist which is played then wiiflow wont show that information in the top corner of the screen
-and last but not least, wiiflow is a bit faster, cleaner and more compatible, things got cleaned up alot again
I guess thats it, if you find more things consider them as easter egg :P
Download on google code as always.

Hey, happy Easter to you !
I've been meaning to update Wiiflow on my external HDD for quite some time ( to clean up a mess I did by mixing up older versions ), and today I finally got the chance to come in here and grab some newish files.
And what do I find ? A brand new update !

Thanks a lot, great work, the new features look great on paper, let's see how it runs now ;)

With all of Maxternal's pluginifying of DM and devo, it made me wonder, is it yet possible to use multiple versions of DM at once? That is, can could we use the latest build for the majority of games, but have it boot with an earlier version for any games that may have gotten broken?

Oh @FIX94, I just realized that B for multi source select doesn't work with the gamecube controller. If you want to address that, that'd be swell. :)
