Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[dawinsch]

Found another little bug that causes codedumps on loading Wiiflow. Yeterday I started using DUTag and Wiiflow sometimes changes the line 'gamercards=dutag' to 'gamercards=wiinnertag|dutag' in the wiiflow.ini file. Has anyone the same issue?

Yea I know about it, if no | is found it codedumps. You can leave it with wiinertag and dutag just fine, because only if some valid number is entered it will be used, as long as no valid number is provided it will just ignore wiinnertag

DUTag works great since r476

Thanks FIX!

What's the effect of the 'Custom' button on page 4 of NAND/EmuNAND settings?

Talking about shortcuts, why do we still use B on Mode to go to emunand? we have a nand shortcut and we can select emunand from source menu too.
So the best shortcut for Source_menu will be "B" on Mode button

@fix94 do you have a 476 to test,
I updated devkit in order to compile wiixplorer and I'm getting error with wiiflow compiling now @video.cpp
I think I have to go back to rev23 with old libogc

@bostonBC - did you download the libogc_svn_r4902.zip and extract it to the correct folders?

Thanks, that was it... knew it had to be something stupid

@boston BC, that looks like superb work. I think I've used it before, there was a pegi - based categories ini somewhere that I ended up using, i initially tried combining data from each ini, failed and gave up! Could you drop me a link, i mioght well give it another go!
You've brought up some interesting points. Perhaps we could have an agreed couple of designated user custom categories and standardise the rest. Does the data from GameTDB have a finite number of categories? I was thinking there's a LOT of stuff available in WiiBackupManager that isn't in wiiflow, but they both work off the same data set. right? You seem to know a lot more about what you're talking about. Fancy starting a categories ini implementation thread?
My first post would be "Does editing categories have to be done with a text editor when I've got over 300 titles to edit, each with 21 variables?", followed by " why can't we have, eg comma separated values or summat, or whack the whole thing in a open excel - type format. or would that make it wayyy too complex for wiiflow?"
BTW you hit the nail on the head - the idea is to allow the user to block whole categories, and potentially whole plugins homebrew etc, by nominating them for lockage, dare i say locktitude, lockliness and lockidity in the relevant ini.

Edit: Updated the preview, because the screenshots from wiiflow make them look all squished like.

Thanks FIX!

Thanks for letting me know, I havent tested it at all
IIRC the custom button is for forwarders on real nand.
Oh here is r478 btw for everyone else:

@bostonBC - did you download the libogc_svn_r4902.zip and extract it to the correct folders?

I haven't figured out where to put this at yet. Does it go to root of SD card, wiiflow/plugins folder, or somewhere else??

@mastershoes, thoses new icons look great! I think I'm going to use those for mine when I get it all setup correctly.

 

[FIX94]

-_-
its for compiling, nothing else

 

[ToddofWar420]

I see, thanks for the understanding Fix94

Great mastershoes, Glad you removed the transparency
why are the icons still square? didn't you make'em 120x90?

Hey, thanks man. The icons aren't square at all, it's just the way the wiiflow screenshots turned out. I assure you they're rectangular. I'll post a pic of what the actual icons look like in a lil while (at work).

He's probably still using an older version of wiiflow when they were set to 90x90

Replace the libogc in the devkit folder. Then compiles will work.

I got r474 and I'm having problems with the Game Save Extractor were I try to extract my game saves and I get an error message that reads 'No valid FAT partition found for NAND Emulation!' I got Wiiflow on my SD card and deleted my old files so I can start fresh and still nothing. Does anybody else have this problem or is it just me? If so, anything would be of great help. Thanks.

Edit: I found out it's not just the r474 but any rev I load up.

I already posted earlier that it's a know issue, which will probably be fixed this week.
From Wiiflow rev 456 and up nand and savegame extraction is broken...if you need a savegame from real nand, temporary load rev455.

Actually Fledge its wierd.. i'm using 476, everything looks fine on my tv, its just the screenshots that look squished. Like maybe it's set to take the screenshot in 4:3 and not 16:9 or something?

@everyone - ere's a better preview of some of the buttons.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Looks much nicer now
@mastershoes . I still think you should try to make a set with light background (silver will be a nice choice since most consoles are black)
something like this for instance:

Thanks for adding new icons

Nice, it will be nice not to have to manually search out and change Okami in my custom_titles.ini file any more.

I see you use Asciify() to fix Okami. Just wondering, would that take the accent marks off of ALL letters or just ones that aren't in the font? (for example, àáâãäåāăąa) how will this effect people using languages that aren't just A-Z like Japanese? I think there are some accented characters in 8-bit ASCII but not in the 7-bit one.

I can get the general ides of what Asciify() does by the name but just curious about the specifics.

Thanks EB for letting me know. I knew it was broken before but thought it was fixed again.

@bostonBC, I will try replacing the libogc in the devkit folder to see if there is any changes.

Thanks you all for your responses.

ATM it just does the O of Okami, if you find other games with unsupported system menu chars then say, we can add as much as we want
