CHANGE LOG
5.4.9
- Added three new platforms: Amstrad GX4000, Atari XEGS and Sega32X (USA).
- Splitted the 'Color'and the 'Black & White' versions of Wonderswan and Neogeo Pocket. They are separate platforms now, just like GB/GBC.
- Altered the SNES/N64 box flow so that vertical Japanese covers can be displayed the correct way by pressing 1 or 2. Thanks to Sion_Zaphod.
- Adjusted the PC coverflow a little (cover positions, spine scale).
- The black bar with songs titles is now as wide as the entire screen.

5.4.8
- Updated platform.ini with the new plugins and flows from the next plugins pack.
- Optimized fonts by Hakaisha (cleanup on the characters to reduce excess vector points, compact encoding, and removed the bitmap files from each).
- Fixed the stretched fonts in 16:9 mode. All texts are now crispier than ever and with the correct aspect ratio. Thanks to Hakaisha!
- Added 'loading' and 'nopic' covers for missing boxcovers and flat covers. No more 'Wii' template for plugin games with no covers.
- Resized texts, margins and line height in Synopsis and Help/Credits pages, for an improved readability.
- Slightly updated coverflows: added shadows to the outher boxes and other little cosmetic changes.
- In File Explorer, moved the folder tree a little to the right.
- Added separate coverflows for Tapes (Amstrad, BBCMicro, ZX Spectrum), PS1 Cd case, FDS, Game & Watch. Now they will be automatically assigned by Wiiflow for an easier installation.
- Added TurboGrafx16 and TurboDuo to the "Retro Consoles" source menu. You can hide any undesired platform using Wiiflow's Source Menu Setup.
- Added 'smallbox=yes' to all source_menu .ini's (under general) to let Wiiflow automatically enable it for you.
- Removed a few unused duplicate backgrounds.
- Added a sliding bar for music titles, so that they are now legible when you switch song.

5.4.7 v1
- Renamed the release number to 5.4.7 to match the supported Wiiflow version.
- Added support for the new Source Menu Setup, introduced by Wiiflow 5.4.7.
- Revamped the File Explorer to look more like a typical explorer.
- The top and bottom bars are updated with new controls.
- Adjusted position for text and buttons in the bottom bars. They were cut out by some TV's overscan.
- Reduced the size of the Handhelds banner in the Handhelds tier background.
- The white bar in the main screen is now correctly ending at the bottom of the screen. It was 6 pixels shorter, but it was not noticeable because of overscan. Only noticeable if you were taking screenshots.
- Removed the [BLANK_COVERS] section from Rhapsodii Shima.ini. It's an obsolete way to display missing custom covers.
- A little size adjustment for the PS1 coverflow (cd_case #1) and the Homebrew coverflow.

v1.3
- Fixed the Genesis and Super Famicom backgrounds (wrong logos).
- Simplified the process to display console models from different regions.

- All images were optimized by blackb0x.
- Discarded the jpeg format, now all images are in .png format.
- Less use of gradients, where possible, to allow further optimization.
- Joined CPS1, CPS2 and CPS3 into one single source menu button. No sense to separate them.

- Removed some useless and redundant backgrounds, where possible.
- Cover caching works again, due to the theme's optimization.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

-ISSUE:
I don't like the default emulators used in this theme's Source Menus. How can I set different ones?
-FIX:
Press the Home button while viewing your source tiers to enter the Source Menu Setup. Click on 'Link source buttons to plugins', select a Source Button and then choose your Plugin.


-ISSUE:
There are too many source buttons, I'm just interested in a few of them. How can I rid of the other ones?
-FIX:
Press the Home button while viewing your source tiers to enter the Source Menu Setup. Click on 'Hide Source Buttons' and select the ones you want to hide from view.


-ISSUE:
I'd like to display a console from a different region in my backgrounds and buttons, but I can't do it.
-REASON:
I've included artworks for all consoles regional variants, but there's only one platform name that you can use for them in Wiiflow
-FIX:
Go to 'wiiflow/backgrounds/Rhapsodii Shima' and locate the background you want to change. Rename it to something else (e.g. rename MEGADRIVE.png to MEGADRIVE_USA.png). Then locate the new background you want to use and rename it as indicated between the brackets in the file name.
To change the source menu icons and the small covers, simply open your corresponding source menu .ini (e.g. console.ini) and change the image names with the desired ones, found in 'wiiflow/source_menu/Rhapsodii Shima'. Source menu icons and small covers have the same file names, beacause they are linked. Don't rename them.


-ISSUE:
I can't see one of the platforms backgrounds, or I'm seeing the wrong one.
-REASONS:
If a background isn't correctly displayed, you are either:
1) using a wrong magic number, not present in platform.ini
2) you're missing the required .dol file for that platform in wiiflow/plugins
3) you edited platform.ini, changing magic numbers and/or platform names
-FIXES:
1) Open wiiflow/plugins_data/platform.ini and always use magic numbers from there. Put them in your source menu and plugin ini files.
2) Download and install the Wiiflow Plugins Pack (http://www.mediafire.com/file/ze5vvwbcuu1ixpd/Wiiflow+Plugins+Pack.rar/file)
3) Never edit the platform.ini file. Reinstall it form this archive if necessary.


-ISSUE:
I'm getting a 'no games found' warning in my coverflow, but I already have my games on SD/USB
-REASON:
Your plugin .ini file is searching for roms in the wrong path.
-FIX:
The actual roms path is reported at the end of the 'no games found' warning.
Press the Home button while viewing your source tiers to enter the Source Menu Setup. Click on 'set plugin roms path' to set a new path.


-ISSUE:
I'm seeing the loading bar each time I'm accessing a plugin coverfow.
-REASONS:
1) One of your source menu .ini files is using a magic number that's not found in your plugin .ini.
2) The roms folder for one of your plugins is empty, or doesn't exist.
-FIXES:
1) Open the corresponding .ini file in source_menu/Rhapsodii Shima (arcade.ini, consoles.ini etc) and take note of the magic number(s) used for the platform affected by this issue.
Go to wiiflow/plugins and open the .ini file(s) for that plugin. Compare the magic number(s) with the one in your source menu and edit the source menu accordingly.
2) Put some games in the proper folder, or create the missing folder
