My quest configuring wiiflow build is near end. I recently updated the plugin pack to v12. I still have some issues and questions, here they are :
1-Arcade Games/cores - after updating for the pack v12, a lot of arcade games stopped working (under Arcade source menu), I.e.:!one game opens retroarch core selection screen, the other game goes back to wiiflow, etc. I have 400+ roms spread in those folders called Mame core A, B, C etc but I don't remember now if they are mame2000 or 2003. Anyway, they are shown when FBA plug-in is selected.I really struggle to see this working because I started this quest in order to play arcade games as a main goal.
Some cps games (under Capcom source menu) does not launch and give an error msg in the middle of screen saying it can't create cache or cache not found, something like this. This screen has also colored dots around. I thought this is strange because the previously cache files are for neogeo and not cps.
99% of neogeo games (under neogeo source menu) are working ok with ra-hexaeco but they still show 3.x unibios instead of 4 (not a problem, btw), if I remember well, Mslug 1 is the the only one that I need to use retroarch and one other gave cache error (I need to check if the cache is there)- btw I guess the neogeo part is OK to leave as is
2- Grim Fandango - i have the game in Portuguese-Brazilian language, inside a game folder called something like "grim fandango(windows-portuguese Brazilian)" . This is inside folder sd/residualvm/ and I already added the Game to residualvm interface, so it shows both, the dummy one and this one. Only one cover is shown, and when I click on it, it tries to launch the dummy game, gives a not found error (as expected) and shows residualvm screen, where I can select and load the correct game. I wanted to see the correct game being loaded directly when I click the cover in wiiiflow, is it possible? I tried editing a lot of things in the ini file under wiiiflow/plugins/residualvm AND under apps/grim but nothing worked and I ended up without not even showing the cover
3- scummvm saves - scummvm games are already loaded correctly and show covers and load up correctly in wiiflow. BUT, when launching then using wiiiflow, they will not show correctly the savegames, it says invalid files, does not show the savegame screenshot and gives an error if I try to load them.
In other hand, the savegames work well if scummvm is launched through HBC
4- hexen and Heretic controls are very weird and I am not sure if the savegame feature works. Hexen 2 works well
5- GameCube games won't load through wiiiflow, but they work though CFG loader and usb loader gx. I tried several video options and toggling on/off emucard feature without success in wiiflow. It's already set up using Nintendont. It was working before I updated to v6 pack then stopped working (today I am at v12 pack and it keeps not working, it goes to a black screen)
6- screenshots in game description - some screenshots of the games appear bigger (I guess) than they should be, and cover up the space of the game title. Not a big thing, but I *believe* it's a simple thing to solve
Guys, once again thanks for all the help on this forum. I am almost 2 years on this quest and now I feel like I'm near the finish line of leaving it 100% working, and start to worry only about which games to play with my kid. I also plan to clean up the emulators not used in my build and provide to the community as a package.
Once again, sorry by the big post!
