Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[fcreeves]

@.lasma:. : Yeah better. So what is the ID of this WiiWare ??

@fcreeves : TRY THIS ONE
It's an old iso so ID don't match with WiiTDB, you can never download the cover with WiiFlow.

Other ISOs Forwarder can be find on Tgames wiki with right ID

That was from the thread I saw you in....forwarder doesn't work. Beautiful cover though. OpenBOR and MAME ISO Forwarders are all I need...they will complete me!!!

Anyone?

Is there a way to rename the games either through a backup manager or in WiiFlow itself, if they are on a FAT drive? I used to have them nice when in WBFS, but when I transferred them over some changed and I don't know how to change it. When I load the drive in Wii Backup Manager it shows them the way I want, for example all the Rock Bands are together, including Rock Band: Green Day, Rock Band: LEGO. However, in WiiFlow itself they are listed Green Day Rock Band and LEGO Rock Band. Thanks.

Just change the text in the titles.ini file in your wiiflow directory where your boot.dol is. Then save you titles.ini for future use, in case you ever delete or overwrite it.

On the wiiflow google code page, it says r97 to r100 are not releases. So are these not even beta releases?

I beleive Miigotu said there are mainly just check in code since he is changing so much and doesn't want to loose anything. I would wait for a bit before dl'd these as they might not be 100% just yet.

Yeah, the issue page on the wiiflow googlecode site is filling already with problems concerning revs above r95 already.

Also i'd like to note that officially were still on 2.1a rev 92a, but rev 95 is stable enough for people to use...

4 Wiimotes and 4 GC controllers should be working properly in wiiflow r102.
For now player2,3,4 pointers are hidden if player1 is on screen, player3,4 is hidden if player2 is on screen, and so on. In other words only 1 pointer can be on screen at a time until the mouse operations in coverflow and buttons manager can support all 4 (MASSIVE rewrite to do this).

Should be no new bugs when comparing r95/96 and r102.

 

[mugotu]

r103 and r104 fixed some small bugs, everything appears to be superb now xDD....

I been thinking about running a donation drive so I can upgrade this processor in my pc, current its a socket AM2 single core amd64 1.8ghz and compiling takes me forever. Considering I compile like 150x a day this will definitely speed up my work on wiiflow. I'd like to move up to THIS since its only $45 but more than doubles my processing power.

So! IF my donations reach $100 by the end of this month, for each $100 donated I will raffle off 2 Wii Cases to the donators, donations of $20+ get 3 "tickets" in the raffle and all below that get 1 "ticket"

A Winner may choose to get a drive modchip of my choosing instead of a wii case.

I will have my wife pull from a hat of email addresses and contact the winners by email to get their color choice. Also I will provide screenshots of the donations history in my paypal (with my and others personal information obscured) after reaching $100+.

my donate button is HERE!

NOTE: Donations to r-win are donations to r-win, and they will not count towards my personal raffle.

 

[Etheboss]

Nice, but i dont need a modchip because wiiflow works so great...

Maybe its possible to choose between two prizes??

 

[mgrimmenator]

jus wanted to say great job Miigotu, you nailed the issue with the wiimotes not shutting off when shutting down wiiflow. I tried from both wiimotes and also turn off wii from console and now all wiimotes turn off. Again great job. This had been buggin for awhile as my kids would shut down and not check wiimotes and batteries would just run down.

YW xD.

GC disc launching and Wii Disc launching added in wiiflow r106.
A new icon will appear on the main coverflow next to the channel button if a disc is inserted and can be read, and will disappear if the disc is taken out.

all patches and settings set in wiiflow.ini for that gameID will be applied to it, and any bca, wip, gct in the codes folder for that id will also be applied. There is no way to modify the settings for DVD YET in the gui. Also alt dol may be set in wiiflow.ini.

Inserting a game will not bring up the install dialog anymore, you must go in main settings and click install for that now.

 

[Benjay]

arf....
please , stop adding buttons on the main coverflow , everytime you do this , you totally break our themes layout.
Especially with a button that is hidden or not.....
Isn't there any other way to do this ??
I mean Jiiwah and I are going to be obliged to modify a lot of pictures in our themes....

 

[mugotu]

Yeah I try to avoid adding buttons to main coverflow at all costs, but it was just impractical to add it anyway or anyplace else.

That's very kind, but I'd like to skip on this raffle. Besides...with shipping cost, it would probably cost you more than the 5$ I donated in the first place.

(oh, and I'm that git from Antwerp, Belgium with initials "BVH")


@BenJay: I understand you're not fond of having to update/recreate all your themes, but I'd still like to see a button for showing (and launching) all the homebrew on the SD card and/or USB drive (in a similar way as the channel button right now) somewhere in the future. I hope you don't mind.

@Mugoto - I've asked a few times on irc but not got definate answer as to whether it's my wii or not... When, I turn on wiiflow I see game names under the cover, if I view a fanart and then come out of fanart (B button or BACK) those game names no longer show up, UNLESS I 'hover' over the game case. Is that suppose to happen or is it a very minor bug? Happens in r92 upto r107 (r100 they wouldn't show up even when 'hovering')

QUOTEarf....

Regarding that, there are 3 'spaces' left on page 7 of settings. Why not add the 'update' and a 'credits' button there, thus freeing up the '?' button on main screen - Is that feasible?

Anyway, many thanks for carrying on this beautiful loader.
