glad you like it.

in WiiFlow lite the buttons show all the time. if you have parental lock on and you click on one of those buttons a message should appear -
"WiiFlow locked! Unlock WiiFlow to use this feature"
Thank you, that works wonderfully.

Hi and thanks for all your work. Everything I've tried works well except for GameCube games in CISO format. Reloading the cache doesn't seem to detect them. Is there anything special I need to do to get them to be listed?

The games run just fine when I launch Nintendont directly. CISO support seems nonexistent in the other loaders, though, which is what brought me to WiiFlow Lite.

My current setup:
Original Wii (4.3U)
IOS 249 Base: 56 d2x v8 final (r21008)
IOS 250 Base: 57 d2x v8 final (r21008)
WiiFlow Lite 4.4.0 r1131
Nintendont 4.434
FAT32/32KB cluster USB HDD (no issues, works with all other supported formats)

Syscheck:
"DOP-Mii Report"
"Region", North America (U)
"Hollywood Version", 0x11
"Wii Unique DeviceID", 80502269

Games are on the USB hard drive in this format:

Is there anything I'm missing?

Understood. I must have misinterpreted the changelog a few pages back.

It would be a great feature, though. All of the games that used to cause trouble when shrunken work fine now as cISO in the latest Nintendont releases. The only problem is that most of the loaders don't list them, so you have to use Nintendont directly to play them. The amount of space saved is quite large though and there don't seem to be any trade-offs.

yes ciso extension was added. not sure why it isn't working for you. i will double check the code.

edit: code looks fine. are you viewing gc games before you click reload cache?

edit2: just tried it and works for me. games show up. like i said make sure you view gc games before you click reload cache. also make sure there isn't a hidden extension after .ciso

Wiiflow Help

How do I change the Wiiflow startup setting?
I was using Wiiflow Lite 4.4 to upgrade a Cios (using Pimp My Wii 3.03). Oh, it kind of fell apart. I put it to use Cios force and from then on, whenever the start of the Wiiflow Lite it gives message: "No pps / Wiiflow directory found!"
  • I tried putting the files back;
  • Format the SD;
  • Reinstall the shortcuts;
  • I tested other versions of wiifliw;
  • The Wiiflow 4.2.1 error for the Exception DSI (black screen) at startup.
The USB Charger GX and CFG Configuration normally set.

I did try reloading the cache from the GC channel, still no go.
No hidden extensions after .ciso (extensions are set to non-hidden in Windows).

I tried some other things... tested with both SD and USB, renamed the files and folders a bunch of different ways, even tried renaming the .ciso files to .iso (which works in USB Loader GX somehow), still nothing. Tried deleting all settings and starting from scratch on the SD. I'll keep trying different things just in case the problem is really on my end.

Should I be using a different program to convert them? I've been using wit from Wiim's ISO Tools. The Nintendont github page says "uLoader CISO format" but I haven't been able to find a recommended converter.

so the problem is the .ciso games don't show up in the coverflow, right? have you tried renaming them to .iso and then reload cache in wiiflow? do they show up then? something really weird here ....all i did to the code was add the .ciso extension so when reading gc games wiiflow looks for .iso and .ciso. and it works for me.

do you maybe use the gc plugin that i made to work in the select plugin menu. if you are using the gc plugin i believe it only looks for .iso's. you will need to add .ciso to the filetypes= line.

Can anyone help me?

I've tried to load Wiiflow lite but a dsi error prevents me from loading it. I've downloaded the latest release and put it in sd:/apps/wiiflow_lite and I also downloaded the meta.xml and put it there as well. I've also downloaded the plugins and put them in sd:/wiiflow/plugins.

Am I missing something?

look in sd:/apps/wiiflow_lite folder - is there a wiiflow_lite.ini? if so open it in a text editor (notepad++). under [DEBUG] set sd_write_log= to yes. try booting wiiflow_lite again. after it crashes again you should now have a wiiflow.log file on the root of your sd card. open it with your text editor and copy and paste the results here in this thread. if we're lucky we can tell where wiiflow stopped.

I'll check it tomorrow. heading to bed now.

So I just redownloaded wiiflow again and copied it over to my SD card and it worked! I guess it either didn't download right or copy right the first time.

Really enjoying wiiflow!

Could you help me see if something's wrong? Because I did a sysCheck

cIOSes look ok and you have an unpatched IOS58.

Try deleting the WiiFlow save in your system menu's settings then run it from SD with no USB connected. That should let you get to the settings menu and change the force CIOS options without getting an exception.

Would that delete the Wiiflow channel? Otherwise, how do I do this?
Then just disconnect the HD (USB) from the Wii and try to start Wiiflow to force it into new settings?

If I try to install a Cios 58 will that solve that?

I am having a problem with this version. Wanted to start a game but all that happens is a black freezing screen. So I checked some things with the 4.2.1 version. By default the NAND emulation is switched off in 4.2.1.....buuuut in this Version it is on partial and you can only switch it between full and partial. When I go to a specific game and there I go to the settings, I can switch NAND Emulation to off. When switched off the games work. But like this I have to switch it off for every single game. Shouldn´t be that way. Anyway, what is this NAND Emulation for anyway? In the game setting there are more settings to NAND Emulation: it can be changed to Regionswitch, Game Save and bla bla. what is all this? Sorry, for being a noob. Have I set it up wrong? 4.2.1 works without changing anything. But not this version.

Just for info. I am playing games from my SD card
