I wish I could help but even forgot I've modified this one too. It's a shame nobody has reported this bug to the original author.
That happens with any controller, Wiimotes, Classic or GameCube pads?

Are you sure it's working well in 1.0.1? Maybe it has to do with the mapping he changed.

A lot of code is different in my branch and I don't remember on what it was based. A bit lost with the different branches/versions to be honest though.

Yes it happens on PC when you use similar controllers, for example two xbox one pads or two PS2 pads via adapter. If you use different controllers for P1 and P2 it works ok.

On wii I had 1.0.3 launched from hombrew channel and happened the same, but somebody in other forum realised that version 1.0.1 was working ok.I used two wiimotes properly.

So I was wondering if you could take version 1.0.1 and make it work with wiiflow (because taking that old 8 bit microcomputer games on a TV at real resolution is something incredible!!!)

Wiimpathy and SoulSpawn, Would this item help to you?

Ref to https://github.com/timembedded/bluemsx-wii 's #19 of pull requests.

==============================================================
Because the 2nd wiimote works as same as 1st wiimote, 1 Player in game is controlled by both 1st and 2nd wiimote,
but 2 Player in game is not controlled by any wiimote

This problem is caused by ignoring channel information in handling WPAD input

and then please see the attached compile file. (compiled by beingbee)

i cannot get the GBA covers to show only no title blank my covers are sd:/wiiflow/boxcovers/vbagx/gba/ and my roms are sd:/vbagx/roms/gba/ am i doing it right?? they are zipped and the png are .zip.png also how about the gb and gbc in zipped it will be complication ?

ok i adjust the boxcovers/vbagx/ im concerned that if i put gb and gbc with advance they some have same name i rather have it separated as in boxcovers/vbagx/gba
/gbc
/gb

You see no covers and no titles?
I don't think the zip extension could cause problems.
the cover folder and roms folder paths must match what's written inside your gba plugin ini (in wiiflow/plugins).
Also, what magic number has been used?

i just fixed i had to remove gba folder and put the pngs in vbagx. im worry about the gb and gbc in vbagx as .zip.png gb and gbc have some same name too

im on 55 percent converting covers of 618 on gba right now ill look the magic nnumber when the converting is done

You can use one plugin for gb and another for gbc, and keep games and covers in separate folders

for example:
wiiflow/boxcovers/vbagx/gb ---> Gameboy covers
wiiflow/boxcovers/vbagx/gbc ---> Gameboy Color covers
wiiflow/boxcovers/vbagx/gba ---> Gameboy Advance covers

How many plugins are you using for GB/GBC/GBA?
you are using 3 separate coverflows or you are trying to merge them in one coverflow?

all 3 says same folders for coverflows

Tetsuo Shima · Mar 7, 2020

Ok, inside your wiiflow/plugins folder you should have 3 ini files for your gb, gbc and gba plugins.
Find all three of them. Then open them with a text editor and change the coverfolder to your liking.

How do u do that can u give me example?

i have idea that im going to use WiiMednafen for gb and use retroarch for gbc so that will work out

Tetsuo Shima · Mar 7, 2020

@FanNintendo You can use the same for both.
I'll post my setup.
In wiiflow/plugins I have:
Gambatte_gb.ini ----> for gameboy
Gambatte_gbc.ini ----> for gameboy color

Here is Gambatte_gb.ini (must begin with an empty line)

[PLUGIN]
magic=474D4264
coverColor=ffffff
coverFolder=GB
fileTypes=.gb|.gbc|.dmg|.zip
romDir=vbagx/roms/GB
dolFile=retroarch-wii/gambatte_libretro_wii.dol
bannerSound=gb.ogg
displayname=Gambatte
consoleCoverID=nintendo
arguments={device}:/{path}/|{name}
rompartition=1

And here is Gambatte_gbc.ini

[PLUGIN]
magic=474D4274
coverColor=ffffff
coverFolder=GBC
fileTypes=.gb|.gbc|.dmg|.zip
romDir=vbagx/roms/GBC
dolFile=retroarch-wii/gambatte_libretro_wii.dol
bannerSound=gb.ogg
displayname=Gambatte
consoleCoverID=nintendo
arguments={device}:/{path}/|{name}
rompartition=1

As you can see I'm using the very same dol file for both gb and gbc

Can I use vbagx which I'm using gba and want to use for gb and gbc ?

Tetsuo Shima · Mar 7, 2020

Yes you can. But Gb and Gbc on vbagx are not as good as Gambatte retroarch.

What about gba?

Tetsuo Shima · Mar 7, 2020

For gba your best choice is mGba. Nothing beats it.

fyi to those that might care. i managed to compile wiiflow 5.4.1 with devkitppc r35-2 and libogc 1.8.23.

I will explain how and ALL the changes that had to be made tomorrow or monday.
and provide a patch file and all the updated libs.
