i made an error I'll fix and post the pack back up, stupid sd where i shuda had usb, causes updater issue.

Did you read that I just changed this in the last update? data_on_usb=no is not needed anymore running from SD. You need srsly tho to sotp using it installed in a channel, you cant use the updater like that it makes no sense, and it doesnt know where to create the ini file then. It creates the ini based on the location of boot.dol.

Working now with 2.1a injected. took off gc contollers for the sake of it (not sure if it made a difference)
it made wifflow.ini in usb so moved to sd.

the default theme doesnt change vieiws when pressing 1 and 2!
the same ogg track plays everytime wifflow starts, there are 2 tracks but after it fnishes it loops the same track
Aint fussed over the updater

Links back up, fixed updater problem.

set the right paths to your themes and directories, or it cant change views or anything.
wiiflow.ini, language.ini, titles.ini MUST be in an apps/wiiflow folder now.

Why dont you just use a forwarder channel? ur just making things more difficult for yourself. normal installation is just put the files on ur drive and boot it and done. no need to mod any ini or anything unless you want custom paths.

srsly just extract the zip to ur sd or usb and delete everything else (you can keep covers, just put them in (the same drive as apps):/wiiflow/ )
even tho you arent using the boot.dol in the apps folder its needed to set paths.

made a fresh start with new wiiflow, used a outside partition manager to create a full fat32 disk

set as active and primary, add wiiflow and wbfs folder, and extracted the zip.

boots fine, doesnt see games, edit ini to let it say fat1, sees games perfectly, but get error on running them, failed to set usb or whatever.

no old wiiflow ini present, nor a sd card present.

stumped again xD

[Damian666]

Got the same problem. Tried what mugotu suggested by still no go

I've run WiiFlow from my usb drive and it doesn't create the following folders: cache, codes, themes, fanart so I had to create them manually into the Usb apps/wiiflow/ and then I had to edit the wiiflow.ini. Now wiiflow works great but why it doesn't create those folders on the first boot when it creates the wiiflow.ini?

 

[terminal_illness]

where can i get thp trailers. ? i know how to make them theyre just a pain in my ass. i want to download a bunch of them.

 

[mugotu]

no, used the ones suplied in the zip ofcourse

Dami
I made new zips just 10 mins ago, fanart and themes folder was supposed to be in drive:/wiiflow where drive means the same drive as boot.dol, or where your wiiflow.ini points to if you moved your ini manaully to the apps/wiiflow folder.

I put languages.ini,txt.ini and wiiflow.ini in the boot.dol folder and run Wiiflow.It started normally but as soon as started to scroll the setting pages it freezed.Three times in a row.What am I doing wrong?
This is a cIOS issue, it seemed to do that to me if I used a cIOS with base57 idk whats going on. Anywaysm run wiiflow on a cIOS with base 38, you need it to use channels and returnto anyway.

Either your partitions are not done right, or you arent running the right cIOS.
To run fat32 from 249/250, wiiflow must be ran on rev18+ of the cIOS.
To run fat32 from 222/223/224, you must use a cIOS rev 4+ to run wiiflow.

Why dont you just use a forwarder channel? ur just making things more difficult for yourself. normal installation is just put the files on ur drive and boot it and done. no need to mod any ini or anything unless you want custom paths.

srsly just extract the zip to ur sd or usb and delete everything else (you can keep covers, just put them in (the same drive as apps):/wiiflow/ )
even tho you arent using the boot.dol in the apps folder its needed to set paths.

ok will try. is there a starnight forwarder?
thanks

*I just moved the fanart and themes folder into the right folder in the zip to make it easier to understand where they go. You cannot mistake now that they must be in drive:/wiiflow (on the same drive as apps/wiiflow/boot.dol) to be automatically recognized with the default paths.

Just use the original StarNight forwarder, it works fine.

well... i used a good partition manager, from outside windows, and i run my wii with the default setup from the guide, so that is 18+ if ya ask me.

and my folders were correct btw, fanart and themes showed and worked just fine.

i guess i go look at my cios install, any recomidations there?

what to use? i can just reinstall it right?
