Congrats on the release, Tetsuo!

Today is a great day for WiiFlow users all around the world. We finally have an updated plugin pack that will unify existing users and make things easier for new users.

Thank you for this. I'm updating my setup with this pack today.

Yes, I want to know the SD card story.

Ok guys, I think it's time for this pack to be released.

Everything should work, I only had some problems with a couple of old computer emulators, but maybe I did something wrong with the bios files.
It's been months of working, testings, re-checks, sudden incompatibilities, pulled hairs and, believe it or not, I've almost accidentally eaten my SD card (I'll tell you the story if you want to know).
Please don't be too hard on me in case I forgot something... I think not, but there is simply too much stuff here for me to keep track of everything.
Please report any issues you have here, and I will update the pack if necessary.

question - did you hex edit any of the retroarch, hexaeco, or mame2003+ cores so their config does not conflict with each other?

Thanks, I really hope that this will be helpful to simplify things for people.
Please, tell me if you spot any inaccuracy or ways to improve the pack.

Ok, so this is the story: some time ago, I was working for several hours on the pack. I was hungry but I had nothing to cook, so I was eating some crackers. As you can imagine, working with plugins involved frequent SD card swapping between my PC and the Wii, so while I was totally absorbed with my eyes pointed at the screen I had a cracker in my left hand and the SD in the right hand. You can imagine what happened. My canine teeth suddenly bumped against something hard. I can't express with words the horror I felt in that moment.
I extracted the SD card from my mouth, it was covered with chewed crackers and I could see my dental record over it.
Luckily I had a recent backup on my PC, but after cleaning the SD card I've found that it was still working. I gave it to a friend's son :rofl2:

Great news!

In my case Ive been preserving all the system Boxcovers in a dedicated server. Additionally, im working in the “fuzzy rename” wii plugin ( wiiflow compatible).

With Downloads app + fuzzy renaming app, ufff the Wii will be unstoppable!

Awesome release Tetsuo. This updated pack was long overdue and much needed for all of us here in the WiiFlow community. I'd like to say Thanks to everyone who help contribute to this & especially to @Tetsuo Shima for all the long hours put into this outstanding plugin pack. Cheers to the WiiFlow community.

Tell the story! (nvm, saw it on another post, cracker sd

)

And congrats for the cool work on the pack.

I'm really sorry, but I had to reupload the pack. Link is in the 1st post. I noticed that wiihexen 2 was't working anymore (a stupid mistake, I forgot to move some files). I've also added a readme.txt for WiiHexen2, and changed this part in WiiSXR's readme:

1) USB is desirable for storing PSX cd images, because they can take a lot of space.
If you want to keep your psx games on USB, but you have WiiSXR on SD, just make sure to copy the 'wiisxr' folder (and subfolders) on the root of BOTH the SD card and USB drive. Otherwise, the emulator won't be able to memorize the settings, even if it's telling you that they were saved. WiiSXR will read the settings only from SD.

2) After you have launched the game, the controller won't be recognized, but there's a simple workaround:
- Unplug the Classic Controller from the Wiimote
- Press the + and - buttons simultaneously on the Wiimote to enter the Emulator Menu
- Plug the CC back in and click on 'Resume Game'.

I noticed the WiiColem Colecovision is not updated in the pack Tetsuo. raz0red released a pretty big update late 2019 to version 0.3 that is plugin friendly. Also wanted to post the latest WiiMednafen 0.3 SnapShot now supports Sega SG-1000 games 100% in my testing & it seems Genesis/MegaDrive is running better too. Virtual Racing still black screens though.

Perfect! I'll add these things for an update.
Thanks as always RunningSnakes! Keep reporting if you find any other issue

I noticed most of the main emu dols (emgba, snes9xgx, fceugx, vbagx, and genplus gx) were not updated.
I have more recent versions of all these .
here is a zip of all my updated versions - http://www.mediafire.com/file/5bdbwxchiy0cozo/fledge+plugins+updates.zip/file

emgba=[June 9,2020]
fceugx=[3.4.7 - June 29, 2020]
snes9xgx=[4.4.8 - June 29, 2020]
vbagx=[2.4.1 - June 29, 2020]
genplusgx=[July 13, 2020]

MrSW · Aug 24, 2020

I tried the updated genplus.dol the other day and noticed that it broke WiiFlow compatility. Can anybody else confirm that this isn't just some mistake in my end?

Thanks Fledge, I will add them to the update
@MrSW What argument line are you using? Did you try with
arguments={device}:/{path}/|{name}|{loader}

Yes, the new genplus.dol code dumps for me also, i am using the same arguments you posted Tetsuo. The last version i have working as a plugin is (3,501 KB), but the release date is unknown. I have 3 of the same .dol with different dates from renaming, but the File Hashes match up. I believe the correct date is 05-28-20 but as i stated, i am not positive.

Tetsuo Shima · Aug 25, 2020

The genplusgx version posted by Fledge is working for me.
I used
arguments={device}:/{path}/|{name}

MrSW · Aug 25, 2020

weird, with that arguemnt I still get a code dump, I wonder why

RunningSnakes · Aug 25, 2020

I have it working through SD but USB code dumps. My guess is @MrSW is using USB only like I normally do. I still have the USB compatible dol if you need me to post?

MrSW · Aug 25, 2020

your guess is correct, I have everything on USB
and yeah, it wouldnt hurt if you could upload your .dol.
i was already using an USB compatible .dol, but maybe yours is newer

RunningSnakes · Aug 25, 2020

USB WFL Plugin Compatible GensPlusGX

Tetsuo Shima · Aug 25, 2020

Hmm I was wrong, it's not working. I have no code dump, but it doesn't autoboot the games.
I have the .dol on SD and games folder on USB.
it's working. I had this issue using the latest WF test version. Reverting to an old one fixed everything.
