First things first: For proper function of Wii games and Homebrew apps: Make sure your Wii is properly modded and use ModMii to make your IOS/cIOS up to date. IOS 58, D2x cIOS v10 rev52 or 10-alt rev53 are recommended. Original Hermes or Rodries cIOS mod are optional.
For Gamecube Games: DiosMios/DiosMios Lite latest wad should be installed into the Mios slot along with clean BC6. Devolution loader in \Wiiflow folder should be there for Devo to work.
Everything mentioned above is in the pack.
Install the wads from wad\IOS_DM(L) folder:
——————————————————-
BC-NUS-v6.wad on both real and Emunands
RVL-mios-v10.wad on Emunands
Real Nand IOS/cIOS:
IOS58-64-v6176.wad
cIOS202[60]-hermesrodries-v6.wad
cIOS222[38]-hermes-v5.1.wad
cIOS223[57]-hermes-v5.1.wad
cIOS224[37]-hermes-v5.1.wad
cIOS245[37]-d2x-v10-beta53-alt.wad
cIOS246[38]-d2x-v10-beta53-alt.wad
cIOS247[53]-d2x-v10-beta53-alt.wad
cIOS248[55]-d2x-v10-beta53-alt.wad
cIOS249[56]-d2x-v10-beta52.wad
cIOS250[57]-d2x-v10-beta53-alt.wad
cIOS251[58]-d2x-v10-beta53-alt.wad
cIOS252[56]-d2x-v10-beta53-alt.wad
Tip: d2x-v10-beta52 has higher compatibility for nand emulation and online stuff and less random crashes during gameplay that’s why it’s in slot 249
while d2x-v10-beta53 has 2 usb ports support and fully plug&play usb devices, meaning that you can connect them when the game asks for them
New: For WiiU/vWii use the D2x cIOS Installer Mod v2.2 by Fix94, run it from Homebrew Channel to build v52 or v53 cIOS
One of the following on real nand:
DIOSMIOS_2.10.wad (GC games on USB) (New)
DIOSMIOSLite_2.10.wad (GC games on SD) (New)
DMLr59mod[MIOS-v10].wad (GC games on SD old way)
Quadforce_v4.wad (Triforce games on SD only) Quadforce_v4.1.wad (Triforce games on USB only)
Wiiflow 4.2 rev 974+ Can install Automatically the required mios on the fly I already placed and renamed the latest DM(L) and QF wads in Wiiflow\mios folder
Neek app files: In case di menu fails to launch GC/QF correctly i.e. wii shuts down replace 000000008.app file (i.e. Neek BC executable) with the one here –
You can use just one at a time.
extract the rar file in Neek_app folder to your nands\plxxx\ (where plxxx is your Emunand folder name) and replace the existing file when prompted
DM2.10.rar is for Dios Mios where games are on USB device
DML2.10.rar is for Dios Mios Lite where games are on SD
QF0.1.rar and QF4.1.rar is for Quad-Force where games are on SD (used for Triiforce Mario Kart GP 1 & v3 also supports F-Zero AX)
To use Devolution extract Devo_200.rar as is into root folder. loader.bin is in WiiFlow folder
GC tools are included in GC_PC_Tools.rar
Use them to covert the GC games to the proper format and the savegame files to NMM format:
DiscEX-v0.9-cred >>> Convert GC games into DiscEx format
DMToolbox-v0.3-cred >>> Convert GC games into any required format (new for 2 disc games support)
gci2nmm-v0.1b-tueidj >>> convert GC saves into NMM compatible format
GCReEx-v0.3-tueidj >>> Convert GC games into extracted GCReEx format
YCbYCr2BMPv2 >>> covert GC screenshots into Bitmaps (BMP)
cmdpack-1.03-win32-i386.zip Contains many useful Dos tools for Disc type conversion, compression, etc… (Help file included)
More Tools inside the pack; check "_Handy PC Tools" folder
WiiFlow Setup
Extract/copy all files to SD or USB root (sneek folder on USB only)
Backup your “\WiiFlow\Settings\categories_v4.ini” and “\WiiFlow\Source_Menu\source_menu.ini” files in case you have made your favorites/categories and a custom plugin setup before or if you don’t want to use the ones provided here
Install wads with a wad manager: WiiFlow Forwarder and WiiFlow loader channel v2 to all nands, neek2o to real nand, back to nand to Emunands. P.S. As an alternative method you can get the Wiiflow channels installed using "WiiFlow Channel Installer v1.1" HBC application by Fix94 on both Wii and WiiU/vWii. This will install the default forwarder v14b by Spayrosam and not the clouds forwarder channel mentioned above.
Tip: When using the Channel installer v1.1 you can hit "uninstall channels" first then press the "install channels" button. This way will make sure that the channels will be installed smoothly without errors or conflicts.
New: For WiiU/vWii use the WiiFlow Channel Installer application then install "WiiFlow Channel – Clouds v15-vWii.wad" using a wad manager
Carbonik Abz will be available in settings > theme selection
For Neek2o you can use one of the included premade fresh emunands or make your own custom nand using Modmii; check the guides below for full info
Edit individual plugin ini files to change the default Rom/game path if needed or just rename your rom folders as shown
here
Extract and replace Source_menu.ini from the zip file in case you want to switch from Advanced to Basic
Wiisx Folder can be on SD, USB(Fat) or USB(NTFS) partitions all roms should go into wiisx\isos folder
Tip 1: unecm.exe should be used on disc images with .ecm extention to uncompress them else they won’t work you’ll find it inside wiisx\isos folder also inside the cmdpack-1.03-win32-i386.zip file, just drag your ecm onto unecm.exe to get your uncompressed image
Also remember to change Bios from HLE to SD or USB for better compatibility
Tip 2: If Wiiflow hangs/or is stuck loading boot animation endlessly when going to Emumode (All Plugins selected), then you have too much games!!!
So move some ini files to “unused” folder inside \WiiFlow\Plugins folder.
Since many games are displayed twice or even more times you can move the ini files for emus that run same games/systems like vbanext&gambatte and keep the one you use i.e. vbagx for example.
It might take some trial and error but when you’re below the memory limit all should work fine.
The cover display limit is theoretically around 65,535 covers, but WF is currently unable to handle more than 11,000 covers due to memory overload
Tip 3: Black screens when launching an Emu game are mainly due to wrong dol name or gamepath in the plugin ini file or mismatch of magic numbers between the source_menu and plugin.ini. But also you have to keep in mind that some emulators work better from SD, others from USB first active Fat[32] partition so make sure you look into this when you face problems.
Also don’t forget to delete your old \WiiFlow\Cache\lists folder and \Wiiflow\Settings\gameconfigXX filesand even sometimes \apps\wiiflow\wiiflow.ini file.
Tip 4: when facing problems going back to WiiFlow or to Emunand or when the HDD is not initialized on startup, make sure you have the latest v14b forwarder and v2 hidden loader wads installed, if you use your own custom forwarder make sure it has the default ID4 as the official forwarder.
You’ll need ~350 MB of SD or USB disk space.
Big pack, but our love to WiiFlow is much bigger
