Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[spacepimp]

@Fledge68 Thanks for your comments! Of course, you're dead right.

I suppose what i'm trying to suggest is a more point and click navigation ethos around the interface, rather than the more esoteric "press the + button on the mode select button" (as an example).
It's an extra level of refinement to get an idiot proof interface. As a part time idiot, I find it's where I best contribute.

The home button does really wind me up tho'

I know many people just downloaded the first pack but... I wasn't really v. happy with the looks,
Pngs just look better inside frames:

Changes:
*Added frames - looks like system meny now - maybe the devs will start considering an icon/banner flow mode
*Corrected Homebrew position to first row
*Kept the transparency to look great with all themes with dark backgrounds

Get it from here: http://www.mediafire...3xiqci0knm771xd

or just visit my wiiflow folder: http://www.mediafire.../?vzc4yp9u0snn4
You'll find default.ini and carbonik.ini with awesome 15 modes

Screenies:

I still think the HBC icon from usbloade gx looks better http://usbloader-gui.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/data/images/browser.png

The covers can be any size smaller than 1090x680. Don't forget to add on the movie's extension (.avi, .mp4, etc.) and double check your ini to make sure you have them in the proper folder.... and thanks!

Re-size it to 90x90 pixels and replace "homebrew.png" in "source_menu" folder, I prefer mine

 

[shortz1994]

dumb me... was putting the wrong extension .. thanx mastershoes. been a long night, had to redo a computer.(kids have a habit of "downloading", hitting buttons to hard )
now for my next one. i use neek2o for all my vc/wiiware. an not to cause trouble/step on toes.. was wondering. if a plugin could be made to launch neek2o. instead of using the nand feature that's broken.(last i read on this,before updating to use mplayer.).

Sorry for asking again, but can someone help me, to get my Scummgames in Wiiflow?

This is my actual scummvm_plugin.ini:

[PLUGIN]
magic=5343564D
coverColor=fcff00
coverFolder=scummvm
fileTypes=
romDir=wiiflow/plugins/scummvm.ini
dolFile=scummvm-mod3.elf
bannerSound=
displayname=ScummVM
ReturnLoader=yes

 

[FIX94]

You need to use the original ini, no changed one. You also need to use r435, because its broken in lower revs

can you please add an "All Emulators" button to the source menu page (between page # and Exit buttons), it's really not practical to go to plugins > Settings > source to see everything again.
Also when Emu-mode is accessed though shortcut or mode button "All Emulators" should show by default, not the last plugin selected.

Thanks

Here's the initial release of my icons/buttons/whatever.
Thanks goes out to AbdallahTerro (I used his frames for the one set) and to masterjakeway (I incorporated his mplayerce icon).

Thanks mastershoes. Those icons look great!

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Thanks mastershoes, like your wii2.png most

Do you actually have modified dols for all these emulators, cause so far wiiflow has only 7 or 8 emu-plugins?

Everything I posted is supported. I have seperated all the systems in my setup that are emulated in mednafen, genplusgx, and vbagx.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

So we still need a copy of your source_menu.ini if u don't mind

 

[spacepimp]

While there's people up for generating artwork, does any one fancy knocking together some 1090x680 versions, it would bring a coverflow of sources one step closer?

Hmnnnn, nice!

thx @AbdallahT - using your work now! Loving the black and white spiral wiiflow loading idea. Gets my vote, anyhoo. Although It might hurt your mind if wiiflow got stuck on load

Just occurs to me that text on the back of an image could be put to good use. Instructions? description? thought for the day? Risque 1950's postcards?

Manhugs all round! (non-gender-specific hugs where appropriate)
