[xfcrowman]

It's on the main page of the wiki.

also, i downloaded the programs that are required to compile wiiflow by yourself. it updates (downloading) to my computer up to r388

what direction do i have to write on svn checkout for having 411?

 

[Etheboss]

run the 250 dol. thats my main one. 250/56.. work better then 249. IMO. thanks etheboss
Your welcome....

Thank you very much for these new builds (410/411), but on my wii i see a regression to the flow.
Hard to explain but let's try: after launching I turn the carousel by keeping "down" pressed; it goes fast as usual. But if I press A on a cover so it comes to the front, then press B to go back, and _then_ keep holding "down" to turn the carousel again, it becomes "slow", it "skips" a lot. I erased the config files to start fresh but see the same thing...

i see the wiiflowiki page has "VERY BETA 410" & "VERY BETA 411". any chance anyone can make a 222.bol of them. 249 always gives me problems as 222 doesnt. thanks

These betas only have support for the d2x cIOS, so they won't run on Hermes cIOS. At this point there really isn't a need for the Hermes cIOS anyway because the d2x cIOS can do everything that Hermes does and more.

I have been using r410 since it was released and I can tell you that it is stable and loads anything you throw at it.
To use r410 or 411, you need a d2x cIOS in slot 249. For example, I have d2xv6 (base 56) installed in slot 249.
You also need to delete gameconfig2.ini from the /wiiflow/settings folder and .wdm files as described in the wiki.

There are some amazing new features available in r410, like NAND emulation and auto IOS detection. The auto IOS detection feature will automatically pick the correct cIOS for a game. For example, to play Black Ops you don't need to pick a cIOS with base 57, just click play and wiiflow will automatically use a d2x cIOS with base 57.

To turn on/off NAND emulation, move your pointer to the channels button and press B. The NAND can be on the root of the USB drive or in a folder, but if its in a folder the path needs to be defined in wiiflow.ini.

r411 has initial support for save emulation, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Also, everyone should know that the themes still need to be updated to support these latest betas, so you should use the default theme for now until themes are updated.

Thanks again to miigotu, r-win, overjoy, and the wiiflow team for the fantastic work they have done

i have cIOS250[57]-v21d2x6 & cIOS249[56]-v21d2x6 installed & still have problems with the 249 dol. that's why i was hoping for a 222 dol as i hardly ever have problems with 222 dols. on 249 dols it usually takes a few tries for me to even get wiiflow to boot up. when i do finally get it to boot up i have even more problems

It is suggested that for these d2x ONLY versions you remove any other cios you have that is not in 202,222,223,224,225,236 (those are ignored by the cios detection)
This means you should not have anything between slot 100 and slot 253 except possibly those cios.
After that, install d2x v6 (or the alpha7 + v6 ehchi which ppl call "v7 fixed"), base 37 into slot 245, 38 into 246, 53 into 247, 55 into 248, 56 into 249, 57 into 250, and 58 into 251. This will allow most of your channels and games to run under a cios with its native IOS as the base, so don't bother changing the alt_ios option, leave it on AUTO. And while I'm at it, YES, channels use auto_ios also, even for nand emu.

Be sure to remove wiiflow.ini, the cache, and settings folders also, a clean install is recommended tho.

Hermes cios will not be supported anymore since d2x v7 will be using hermes ehci and you get all the good compatibility it brings as well as the speed improvements.
the v7 +v6 ehci works incredible here, better than any hermes ever did.

@The guy adding "compiled by xxxx" in the about screen.... As long as you leave the credits there and dont try to claim you did something special that is fine. Adding yourself to the developer section or something like that wont be tolerated. But I advise against releasing modified binaries since it will cause me headache in the long run when someone has an issue with your compiled dol.

@ Etheboss, not so much what was said in this thread, it was me reading what the better dol to use for wiiflow, all the problems i was having was due to 249.(yes i had the most up to date 249). But i still dissagree with the ntfs an fat32 format for hd's.

thanks wiiflow team. great work.

Hehe, OK, no problem, i guess everybody has a different experience with their Wii hardware and software setup.
Good to hear it worked out for you..

 

[shortz1994]

the only bad thing so far are none of the game channels i made with crap3.3(new name is confusing). they work great with the beta dol before this one (250/56.?385r?) but 410 or 411 seem to work. but thats cool, i'll stick with the one i have. still good work. i played around with both of these 410r/411r an they work great.

What would you need to use crap channels from INSIDE the loader for? Switch to game view and run the game directly. Secondly, NTFS/FAT32/EXT4 is greater than WBFS, hands down. There is zero arguments that can prove otherwise, yet many that prove ntfs/fat32 to be superior.

 

[Elegant]

So how exactly do we activate nand emulation? I have my nand on a fat32 usb hard drive what's the next step to enable it?

sorry , no the game channels are in my main menu, after playing around inside wiiflow,"main menu". i went back to wii menu an tried to launch games,( 10 in total). they all give black screen, or half green/black. then lock up. so i need to do a hard reset. an yes i have my hd formated to fat32/32k. the only "wbfs" on my hd is the games. very rarely do i go into the main wiiflow men cause of the game channels. also i tested the few themes i have for wiiflow, dark wii, orange, violet, carbonick, green.. all of them give me a stack dump. but it's cool. like i said, i'll stay with 285r. thats the one thats working the best for me. thanks mugoto.

Hover over the cusb/channel/homebrew button and press B.

Just one thing Mugotu !

Fat32 : Corruption and fragmentation possible
NTfs : Corruption & fragmentation possible
WBFS : Corruption ( very difficult) fragmentation ( no)

Superior ?

Where ?
