when ever i try to use the plugins it says that there are none even though they are on the sd card, can anyone help me?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Can you post a screenie?
Also where is the wiiflow root folder. Did u try copying it to usb.
Show me your wiiflow ini and check if you have apps/wiiflow on sd and usb devices
Syschek might also give a better idea

 

[jonthedit]

I might be interest in converting to WiiFlow from USB Loader GX... hmm..
I need to see a few

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Carbonik Abz Theme Update:

* Now is based on Official r7 which makes sure all the buttons, text, button motion effects and Coverflow editor will show in the right way.

* Still has all the old features: Missing covers, banner frames, cover/emu/brewflows and game titles... etc

* Compatible with latest WiiFlow 927+ (2 new Home menu buttons and Manage Covers/Banners in game settings)

* Also backward compatible with older WiiFlow revisions

* Available in Full Homebrew Cover Mod form too

New Game info and Credits Background

P.S. "No Settings Button" mod is no longer updated (only works in 923-) and hence it will be removed from the next pack.
P.S. Content of "source_menu" folder can now be moved into "Carbonik Abz" folder for people using different source menus with different themes but I didn't do so here for full backward compatibility

Thanks Benjay, Mamule and Ayatus for the great update

SNES with all the ROMS (800+) and especially GBA (1100+) crashes on me constantly when flowing through. Is there any way around this or is it a technical limit?

so many hours setting all of this up, I hope I can fix it

 

[AbdallahTerro]

yeah, HQ covers especially cause this more often in emuflows with many rows.
What I suggest is LQ covers where you can have 4x as much covers.
Wii memory sucks you know

Which LQ covers specifically can I use?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

use batch resizer to 512x340 pixels then replace the covers subfolder and delete the cache folder

 

[Haloman800]

How do I separate Gameboy/Gameboy Color/Gameboy Advance? I see you have "vbagx" which works and puts them all together, but under "Frames" you also have "Gameboy", "Gameboy Color" and so on. How do I configure them to their own separate flows?

Also, how do I change the default cover flow (The thing you can change by pressing 1 or 2 on Wiimote)? Like if I wanted the carousel to be default when I select a source.

--I appreciate the help and your hard work on the project!

 

[AbdallahTerro]

everything can be changed by editing both source_menu.ini in source menu folder and the corresponding plugin ini file in plugins folder.
You need to have 3 magic numbers with 3 plugin inis. To change the default Emuflow you have a line in source menu ini, as for the cover folder it's in the plugin ini

I have all the different gameboy ROMs and covers separated in their own specific folders, I checked vbagx_gba.ini and all the others and they all point to their respective folders

When I select the Gameboy Advance source in WiiFlow it says "I have not found any plugins..." Under Settings I see "VbaGX GBA" is selected, yet it still doesn't work. If I select "VbaGX" it shows all the games again (Advance, Color, etc).

 

[AbdallahTerro]

If you're using my setup (Masterpack) I have separate icons and folders for GB, GBC and GBA which was working fine last time I checked.
As for the cover folders I don't have any covers so can't check if this works though it should.

However, not long time ago I started switching source menu spots when new plugins were out so now I have VBAGx icon for all GB's Gambatte for GB/GBC and GBA retro.
All the plugin inis are still there for GB standalone and GBC standalone, so all you need is to use the corresponding magic numbers and bring them back to your source menu.
