Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

AbdallahTerro · Dec 27, 2014

Sorry for the double post but figured it would be nice to have this separate. I managed to get WiiFlow working with Nintendont somewhat. I can launch Nintendont through the Homebrew view and it will autoboot the last game I chose in Nintendont, when I use the exit to loader combo voila I'm back in WiiFlow. However I still can't click on a cover in GC view and launch the game I want. It goes straight to dump. Here's a log with Abz Mastermod 1076 this time and a few attempts at launching a GC game through Nintendont no HID, one with force cIOS on and one w/o.

Code:

Doesn't look like there's much there that could help but hey you never know right.

I've also tried deleting WiiFlow Save on NAND and deleted nincfg.bin, several times. I don't know what the hell is going on considering USBL-GX does launch Nintendont for me. I assume it should be something on my end, but I've tried just about everything I can think of. every other aspect of WiiFlow is working correctly for me, it has to be something simple or some kind of bug.

do you have a million HQ cover on board during testing?

lmao I got the log from my main HDD but I tried on 3 different mediums 2 of them clean installs no covers no nada.

AbdallahTerro · Dec 27, 2014

that's the weirdest bug ever,
codedumps in wiiflow are most of the time due to either corrupt cover png or cache and to memory issues
the weird thing is that both 1054 and 1076 gave the same dump, given that they use completely different memory managers :wtf:

FIX94

did you try disabling HQ covers in wiiflow.ini
I can't reproduce your issue so you have to test with different settings until we find wtf is going on

oh and did you reinstall ios58 and cios 249-250?

I run this game on Wiiflow (r1076) with ios=Auto (my wii is NTSC and have cIOS d2x-v10-beta52) and default for the other options. Perhaps you should also force the video to NTSC.

Turns out it was my emunand. Though I installed cios-beta53 and a few others (all the ones in abz pack) and now it just exits to wiiflow (or homemenu, but I set wiiflow to replace home menu in priiloader). Step in the right direction but still uncertain of the problem.

MassiveRican · Dec 27, 2014

I think the 1076 mod has a different code dump sequence but it's in the same place. I'll post a pic of it later. Yes I have cover_use_HQ=no, and I thought the Wii U already came with the correct IOS58 and I shouldn't be re-placing/installing it. I use emu-NAND so my cIOS consists of 249-251 d2xv10r52 249-56/250-57/251-58. Should I install d2x-alt into 249-56? I didn't really think this mattered since it seems to be a problem writing to nincfg.bin or launching the nintendont boot.dol, it literally dumps immediately after hitting play when choosing a GC game.

If I go into individual game settings and choose HID ON, NMM Enabled, the wiiflow.ini still has the default settings, so it seems changes don't get passed to the wiiflow.ini. It does save Nintendont as the default loader globally in wiiflow.ini and individually through game_settings in wiiflow/settings. NO SD CARD inserted through testing process unless specifically using an SD card by itself so there isn't any SD/HDD confusion of writing what files where or anything.

Anyway sorry to bombard the thread figured giving as much info as possible is good.

EDIT: Thinking of moving apps/wiiflow and wiiflow/settings to SD and leave everything else on USB to see how it might work out.

Just try this: on gameconfig2.ini of "settings" subfolder, in section [S72E01], set option "reload_block=yes". This should force the IOS Reload blocking on "Kirby's Dream Collection" to prevent the game from rebooting the Wii when you select a subgame.

Alright should be my last post on the matter lol, here is a dump with Abz WF Mastermod 1076 on a flash drive with a clean install. Nothing but apps/wiiflow/, apps/nintendont, USB:/wbfs, USB:/games.

It just refuses to even pass over to Nintendont to let me choose a game w/o autoboot.. :hateit:

hicandturkey · Dec 28, 2014

So I tried playing a Gamecube game off an actual disc for the first time since I can remember. After I clicked the Disc icon within Wiiflow, Wiigator popped up and attempted to boot the game. I have the correct MIOS file (from abz pack) in the MIOS folder under wiiflow\. I feel like this isn't the desired result that I should be getting, or am I wrong?

I have wiigator v4 as mios for discs since it can launch original, backup as well as multiiso dvd
I also have wiipower mios 10 in alt_stuff folder...
Did you set launcher to "auto-mios" in general GC settings? Is you DVD booting?

trying to reproduce your issue
do you get the dump if gc loader is set to "devo" or "auto-mios"?
are folder names in lower caps or you have higher caps charachters?

Ok Rican I reproduced your issue and fixed the damn bug,
it was nintendont version detection by airline that's causing the problem
please download mastermod again from my sig and give it a try

I'll update 1076-mod and update the files in the pack
crazy shit is why this was found now been there for ages lol

YES YES YES!! This finally did it, I can finally autoboot properly into Nintendont with WiiFlow. Thanks Abz you're the man nice work on this, I was really hoping it didn't have something to do with my setup or an error on my side. Thanks again.

Is there currently a way in Wiiflow to force VC games to display in their proper 4:3 aspect ratio?

Didn't fix the issue, or do anything at all really

I've seen that thread before.

Also, is it possible to force gamecube games to an output in Wiiflow? I try to force a pal game to NTSC (and the correct 480 for me) but it doesn't do anything, though when booting from Nintendont it works fine.

I believe it's been working for me in Abz mastermod versions of Wiiflow and Nintendont. It's difficult to say for sure since I'm on a Wii U, which tries to convert everything to 1080p anyway. However, I can make some PAL games crash by forcing them to 480p 60Hz, so the setting is clearly doing something.

I love that Wiimmfi.de private server game option, does it work like I think and actively patch the ISO to use the private servers? Eliminating the need to manually build ISO's with the Wiimmfi patch? If it's become a tog-gable option to use those servers this needs to be implemented in the official build man! So awesome, thx Airline38.

Yes,it's the same as you manually modify the ISO (with "wiimmfi.de" patch).
