Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[panmusic]

Ok,this drives me insane....
Everytime I try to load Wiiflow I see an Exception (ISI) occured!

The structure I use is this.

SD:/wiiflow/themes and every other folder (txtcodes,codes,boxcovers,cache etc.) and

SD:/apps/wiiflow/boot.dol,meta,icon and wiiflow.ini,languages.ini,titles.ini


I suppose that I am doing wrong something....
Can you help me please by writing a detailed path for the folders?


P.S I don't know how to join #IRC chat...My PC is several years old....

Oh well , Pakatus reported me an issue with the orange forwarder....
But in fact , all the forwarders were concerned.
If you clik on the forwarder , and then navigate through channels with + or - on screen , the wii freeze , and you need to unplug it...
There is no risk of bricking , but it's annoying....

BTW , it looks like it was the sound's fault , and it should be fixed now (well , it is on my wii btw.)
And they are even smaller now (18 blocks against 25 before).
So , if you downloaded and installed one of my forwarders , please , download it again and reinstall

to avoid bad surprise ^^

Links are still the same :

Carbonik forwarder (WFBJ)
Green forwarder (WFBG)
Orange forwarder (WFBO)
Violet forwarder (WFBV)

Sorry for this.....

Unplug any GC controllers (there is a bug w/ GC controlling, I bought one today to try and fix it.), make sure you dont also have a apps/wiiflow/boot.dol on usb, try getting a new dol, mb it got corrupted in copying to your drive somehow?

Just posted this to the wiiflow googlecode issue 225 which is listed as closed... but the previously reported issue with changing partitions in r92 CIOS 222 V5, have updated to r104 and still can't change partitions either using up+B or the config menu options (I figured this wasn't resolved yet as it wasn't in the change log - just wanted to confirm as I think fcreeves said it worked when he upgraded to R95). I also tried R95 and it didn't work either...

Setup: 1 - 1.5Tb drive with 2 WBFS partitions (~700Gb each) then 1 FAT32 partition (8gb) for a total of 3 partitions total... using CIOS 222 V5.

Note: this is just an update to mention what I tested, not a complaint that it's not fixed... I know Miigotu is working on it and just wanted to make sure you knew what I tested thus far just incase it helps. Keep up the awesome work on this!

GC controller support fixed, no longer crashes, repeat delay fixed in coverflow when switching focused cover so that short presses dont move more than 1 cover.

Thanks mugotu!
The GC controller bug was causing the code dumps!
May I ask you when are you planning to release the next featured download in the code.google site?

P.S Is there any internet place to download the latest revisions of Wiiflow?

Wiiflow 2.2 will be released when I finish making all the controller types work. right analog sticks on classic and gc pad will control a pointer, and all sticks will have speed control based on how far you press the stick (full analog!)

Benjay: I love your carbonik theme and it's all i use. I just noticed a glitch in the latest version and I'm not sure if it is wiiflow or your theme. On first boot up of wiiflow using carbonik theme if you move the pointer toward the bottom right where the buttons are the disc, and home buttons side in from the right and the credits button comes up from the bottom. If you change your theme to the default or something else and then back to carbonik the credits button is fine and slides in from the right like it is supposed to. All the buttons on the left slide in fine as well. Something is weird with the credits buttons.

I noticed that on you violet theme it does something similar, by loading a little slower than the others. But if you switch themes and go back to a theme it is fine.

What's up with this, and is there any way you can fix.

Thx in advance.

r112 adds ability for the mouse to be controlled with right classic stick.
TODO(with controls):
GCPad Analogs, analog speed sensitivity on left analog for nunchuck/classic/guitar.
usb Keyboard controls.

Well , i've tried to reproduce that glitch , with no success.
I've tried with r108 , r111 and r112 , and the last version of my themes (r108 and up).
I never get this problem with carbonik , nor with violet....

Btw , if there is really a problem , it's not due to my theme , because i can only set 1 behaviour for each button , so if you don't get that behaviour , it's because the .ini is missinterpreted.

Maybe you should try a clean reinstall of wiiflow (deleting the wiiflow.ini) and my themes (deleting carbonik.ini and violet.ini and re-add them).

Thx for the report

OMG I must be idiot...

I had 2 different version installed... 249/222 so i renamed folder as wiiflow_222 & _249.

I lost about 6 months on this...no words. As I arrive at home I'll try...but i'm sure...that's was the problem.

Mine is an astonishing EPIC FAIL.

 

[Benjay]

yeah lol , epic fail ^^
the wiiflow folder must be named "wiiflow" , anything else will make the forwarders not work.
