[FIRST POST ALERT - POSSIBLE NEWBIE SYNDROME]
[TL;DR: What is the difference between a vanilla WiiFlow setup and a 'Sourceflow' WiiFlow setup? Is there a guide explaining it somewhere?]
Hello OP,
You said:
"Starting from Wiiflow 5.4.7, you can use the new Source Menu Setup:
- You can configure your Source menu's pressing the Home button in one of the the source menu (or Sourceflows) tiers.
- You can Hide source buttons, link buttons to plugins and set ROMs paths."
I'm using 5.4.9. Is the above true if somebody has just installed vanilla WiiFlow, WITHOUT your files? When I press "Set" on the "Sourceflow settings" option on page 12, WiiFlow says, "No source menu found!" Is this because there is no "source_menu.ini" file included with a vanilla WiiFlow installation? It just seems a bit bizarre that in order to use the Source Menu Setup feature, you first need to manually add things to the WiiFlow installation folder.
Note: I'm not totally stupid - I've got to the point where I can play Wii and GC games, and I have some emulator roms showing in the "Plugins" 'tier' (or whatever you call the Wii, GC, Channels, Plugins, Homebrew groups which are switched between using the button next to the disc button) of a *vanilla* WiiFlow installation. But I really don't understand the distinction between that setup and "Sourceflow", and I cannot seem to find any information about that. The Abz Masterpiece project seems to be dead now. Is there a guide which bridges the knowledge gap between "default WiiFlow setup" and "sourceflow WiiFlow setup"?
I'm ideally looking to understand these two fundamentally different WiiFlow configurations rather than just get the second (non-default) configuration working by blindly following your instructions.
There really does seem be a black hole of information sitting between the two of them. Feel free to insult me if there are up-to-date guides all over the place explaining the difference.
Thanks for any help.
P.S. I appreciate this might be better posted in the general WiiFlow thread, but I intend to use your work (thanks) ultimately and that's why I ended up here.
P.P.S. All of this stuff is incredibly great in general, and free! It's just frustrating that there is often no accompanying explanations for how stuff is actually working. It's just "copy and paste my secret files and it will suddenly work", which means that nobody actually gains any understanding of WiiFlow. It seems a bit anti-learning to me. If I had created WiiFlow (I'm not clever enough), I would want people to understand it.
