Hi all,

with NGC Naruto Clash Of Ninja United States,

wiiflow R208 mod, do not even see

works perfectly with NeoGammaR9beta56

have you done a cache refresh?

Know what you are talking about before you talk shet...
r207 Wiiflow-Mod was committed 26 hours ago, after I've been back like 3 weeks.

The commit log is intended to cause problems because the new hb view was shown to 1 (1!) person and he decided to imitate it with something like 350 lines of code where mine took like 10 lines of code.

-added new boxmesh for homebrew view that the icons
are not stretched anymore (I added it for a very special
person and I know that this person will read this log)

And then he added a comment to the commit: Comment
(OFC I gave a kiddie response in my commit, only because it was funny and thats all kids understand)

That rev was everything but serious, you should laugh about it man, I was thinking hey why dont make some useless cheap created troll version of your idea just that you see we are here and have fun working on this project, you should have too
Anyway, I see you got it into the totally wrong light again, I was even thinking about to revert it because its some really useless and unefficient commit I made there.

YES FUN!! That's what I'm talking about, everyone should have it again lol. Miigotu's right, it's not a big deal, so personal jabs aside a little friendly competition is always a driver of quality and inovation and by any means even if you don't feel like competing it's just time to lighten up

Just for the heck of it I made a little program that changes the "title.txt" from gametdb.com into a "custom_titles.ini" for WiiFlow. (I thought I'd share it for all those like me who don't want to go into the file and do it manually.)

For windows users here's the application: http://ul.to/zuh6ymuj

Now that we have competition here are my comments:
official 418 ************ vs ********** Mod-208
smaller dol 2.7 Mb ************************ dol size 3.1 Mb
8 coverflow modes **************************** 15 modes
12 secs to load (7secs postlogo) ************** 11 secs (6secs after logo appears) (300 wbfs games)
DML mode SD only **************************** DML shows both SD/USB + custom folder
Homebrew png stretched ****************** Homebrew covers are smaller but look ugly
Stable ***************************************** Stable
Sometimes remote sync delay ************** Same (although no delay when building for IOS 251)

Homebrew cache bug present in both (apps share same logo if folders have same 6 first letters, ex: usbloader, usbloader-cfg, usbloader-gx)
Haven't tested if cache is built automatically on startup

Currently I use the Mod version but who knows what will happen tomorrow

FluffyKiwi...as you probably have read in the past...Wiiflow mod was started to update Wiiflow and to adress the bugs left in R417...since then it has greatly improved AND has extra options. So i don't think its fair to say that things are slapped together in wiiflow mod..and are unstable...

Just a quick note I did not say anything about WiiFlow mod being slapped together or unstable. Check my original post.

I'm loving the work being done by WiiFlow mod team, in particular the DML support, but also like the idea of mugotu maintaining the "official" version with slower progress and focussing on stability and a consistent coding style.

Not everyone needs all the latest bells and whistles, so that version may be for them.

I personally will be using a WiiFlow mod version as I want gamecube game support, I'll simply stay on any version that avoids any unexpected major new bugs, which can occur in any project. (not disrespecting any coding skill, these things happen).

I'm only in the WiiFlow credits as I designed the alternative coverflows that were included in the original default theme, not because of any coding skill myself.

I did my WiiFlow beta testing for Hibernatus and now simply enjoy using what I believe is the best USB loader for my needs. I no longer wish to keep up with the latest versions or bug test if possible.

As and when a new "official" version comes out I'll then decide whether it is incorporating the features I like in the mod version and whether it is more stable. If it doesn't I'll continue to use the most recent mod version without any major bugs.

I hope any major advances in either branch will be incorporated in the other without incident, and really wish both teams could work together.

No need to flame either team. Major respect to whoever keeps the project going.

Yeah, i know sorry, just wanted to add some drama, i thought it would not hurt to say, because everybody could read who said it.
I was just under the impression you were influenced by what was said, but you wrote a good piece now....

I only see Wiiflow-mod r191, where can I get r208?

I suppose he compiled it by himself, but tomorrow I'll release the next official google code rev so wait a bit longer

Are you talking about the dropbox from the wiki?
so is the one you just updated in there the official r418 meaning wiiflow-mod r208 or is it the other official wiiflow r418 beta that Miigotu is testing right now?

Yes, thats miigotus official one, no DML or GC game installer or stuff like this, it got nothing to do with the mod revs.

 

[Maxternal]

hmm, an unofficial release of the official r418. At least now no one will be questioning who actually made the r418 in the drop box. I was wondering why that one didn't get deleted when it was removed from the googlecode page but I guess it wasn't actually his dropbox.
I hope this doesn't mean another series of nasty comments coming due to an unapproved early release

Edit: of course I hadn't personally looked at the dropbox for a long time to see if that file was actually getting updated already.

Excellent, thanks!

I improved my title.txt->custom_title.ini app a bit.

i tested 418 from dropbox

 

[FIX94]

i tested 418 from dropbox

Then you tested r69 mod

 

[AbdallahTerro]

i tested 418 from dropbox

Where can I find the other one.

 

[FIX94]

As I said re-download it from the link, I updated it yesterday.

 

[MassiveRican]

It's at 420 you should try that one. You'll need wiitdb.xml in settings folder for a faster startup, no libogc update yet and cache issue will be worked on.

I liked your comparison notes, you should do it again with both latest dols.

Thanks MassiveRican, I'll do it soon.
Can anyone post a link to the dol from mugotu branch too
