Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[bostonBC]

Can anyone else confirm issues (Exception DSI occurred) with uDraw in recent releases? It used to work fine on releases a few months back.
PAL uDraw on PAL 4.2E r417 v7b1d cIOS.
Funny thing is if I select the game in WiiFlow it immediately gets the DSI error, but if I use another controller (not plugged into uDraw tablet) it zooms the cover in, then when I start it it reboots the Wii without the DSI error.
I know it's a crap/rarely used game for some, but my daughter loves it and she's hounding me about it not working now. That's 2.5 year olds for you.
Usual clean installs (all configs/ini/db wiped) were done and pretty much everything else works fine. This is a new issue as it used to work back in older revisions (maybe it was 402, at a guess).
I can provide a pic of the DSI dump if required.
Many thanks.

I am on a NTSC 4.3U and tried r417 v7b1d and see the same problem.

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned... the only "issue" I have is that I am unable to select the IOS to launch the game,like could be done in earlier releases. I understand that Wiiflow is supposed to auto detect and load the appropriate one. My problem stems from ISO Forwarders, like one for the Internet Channel or one for FTPii -- they seem to require a 38-base cIOS to launch. I used to be able to just select cios222 (maybe the base 38 d2x would work as well, haven't tried), as it stands, it reloads the system menu when I try to launch these. I'm assuming I can specify the IOS in one of the ini's, but it was alot easier to set it through the GUI. Again, not really a problem per se, just a bit of an annoyance. Thanks.

r417 still has the slow/delayed wiimote synchronization bug at launch here.
Is it supposed to have been fixed?

While I have nothing to offer in the way of the Udraw, I am following closely as I am hoping to pick one up this christmas.
I do, however, have some questions of my own. I still have a few games that are giving me video issues. Namely, lots of verticle and horizontal lines in green. I can still make out the start screen in the corner. Kind of. I've tried all of the "patch video modes" and all of the "video mode" but not every combination of the two. Is it worth my while going through all those combinations? I recall reading somewhere that sometimes the problem is just that the tv can't produce the resolution required.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone confirm that 2 game partitions still works on the 416 and 417 , My setup no longer works only the second game partition shows up , I have hit the B button and Minus like suggested , same it doesn't see the other partition at all , Usb loader still sees them just fine so does CFG ,, But prefer Wiiflow ,, any help on this would be appreciated.

there's a probleme to download a complet Wiiflow. Actualy on the Wiki we can only donwload the .dol but where are the package with the config files and themes? (i'm not at home and can't have access to my personal SDCard with Wiiflow)

Not needed anymore, wiiflow will create everything you need for you.

I think if you don't erase the settings files and cache/lists like I do between each release it will probably work. A couple of friends upgraded from a slightly older version w/o a problem... I just know if I start telling people I know this is a good release somebody will delete one of the files and expect it will be auto-recreated and then when it chokes they will yell at me :-(

For me r417 works pretty good and yes I deleted all my settings/cache/ini, no problems at all with it. And yeah, the files will be recreated just fine here, that's really strange that it doesn't for you...

I checked this again on a clean new system and r417 with no app/wiiflow/wiiflow.ini and a deleted wiiflow/cache/lists folder and an empty wiiflow/settings folder - it is NOT recreating the wiiflow/cache/lists file... the folder is being recreated but not the cache file.

The system does run but you may not notice the delay if you don't have a large number of games. I have a 132 on a 320GB portable drive and you can see a 5 second or so delay starting Wiiflow and the same delay exiting a game back to the Wiiflow menu. On my monster 2TB drive with 1120 games it takes over a minute to launch Wiiflow or exit a game back to the Wiiflow menu.

I would ask that if you delete the cache/lists folder and other files to see that the cache/lists/usb1_wbfs.db file is actually created. The cache/lists folder is created but not the cache db file itself.

Also I think the Rumble setting option is being mapped wrong again in r417. When I enable it the save_emulation wiiflow.ini option gets changed to yes and then some games crash.

When I switch back to r415 and do the same (delete files/folders) everything is recreated as expected so I really think there is at least a couple of bugs in r417.

Make sure you have the latest forwarder channel installed from wiiflowiki.com, themes are really unstable currently btw so don't use them.
