I need some help with scummvm also.
I can get it to show games if i don't use the start_menu. if i try and use the start menu nothing shows. games run fine when they do show. and run fine from scummvm in homebrew channel. any insight what i may have wrong would be great!
Mastershoes tried to help me out but to no avail...
i am on 435 also

edit: thought i would add that i don't even see the boxes at all empty or otherwise

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
:)
hey AT there's already and all emu/plugin option with the source menu. just put source=allplugins and when you click on that image emu mode opens with all plugins on. :)

edit - thanks naxil.

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). :)

Forgot to say how glad I am that somebody besides me is getting some use out of that thing!
That was my first attempt at icon making. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to make the background transparent, lol!

Here's a copy of my startup_menu.ini if anyone is interested (setup for hoverbuttons).

Also, check it out, an update to the coverthread! (follow the link in my sig)

-Update 05-30-12: Added a new near complete Atari Lynx full cover set! There are only 6 prototypes missing from the no-intro romset. (I'll see if I can get something together for those few in the future). The old set was 18 covers, this one is 77 :) I made a template based on the 4 or 5 i'd seen floating around, and seam was nice enough to gather up most of the front and back covers for me. I got the logo artwork for the spines from Hyperspin. Enjoy! I'll be trying to finish up a set of scummvm covers next, followed by virtual boy. Thatisall.

Fix,you are on fire! :D

Can you please respond in my questions?

1)Are you planning to fix NAND emulation any time soon?I think that you said that it is broken and I can confirm that no VC/Wiiware game can run.

2) Can you consider to implement ocarina cheat support for block ios reload games like MPT?Gecko OS is the only loader that can achieve this because it is capable to have 2 different hooks at the same time.Is this method doable for Wiiflow?

Thanks for everything you have achieved so far!

P.S Sorry for my bad english...

Well what do you think I'm trying two weeks now? :P Actually I got it to work, it now works at least for me again:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25620767/WiiflowMod/boot.7z
Clear cache before please. About the double hooks, I'm not sure if d2x can do this, atm it patches all dols iirc but I dont really know how this works, its mostly some asm and I'm bad in it heh.

Can we have a source page button code that exits wiiflow to SM? Maybe there's one that I'm unaware of.
You want to have a button on the Source Select menu to exit wiiflow to SM? Why?
I can't speak for him, but I can see the source menu just being put to the home button and used like the home menu in Wii games and channels and some other homebrew apps. There might be some benefit to that both in it being easier to access (just 1 button press without having to point at anything) and avoid accidentally exiting sometimes.

Here is a preview of what's done so far, will post a link later, as i said its matches my current Blue carbon theme and as of yet isnt perfect and needs tweaking. There is also icons with logos for each console for those who prefer them.

Would much prefer a larger icon size because the image quality is seriously lost when downscaled from 250px down to just 90px

@[member='fledge68']

ive noticed the source select menu ignores wiiflow.ini setting for screen size on first launch, you must either select a source or use exit, then open the source select menu again for screen size to take affect.

Also the icons from all screen shots including mine also show icons not being centred properly but seem like they are to far to the left.

Unfortunately the home button is already coded to exit wiiflow which is a little strange because we have a home icon to exit wiiflow which does basically the same thing.
