Cool, I will try this one and get right back to you.
Seems like things go better now, hm? :P
Yes, quite bit better. Do you have a suggestion on cover buffer? 5 doesn't show all the covers on some coverflows, 20 seems to work ok but still doesn't show all covers... 30 is closer but causes code dumps on 3-up coverflows occassionally.

I wanna see pics! :P And what do you mean with doesnt show all covers?

Take a look at the left side of the screen... it shows the covers loading logo instead of the actual logo.



When I increase the cover buffer it shows more of them but then it starts to code dump and banner corruption on the 3-up coverflows.

So here you go:

That should be perfectly working for more than one row and single row now :)
We have a winner! Yes!

I adjusted cover buffer back to 20 and all covers are showing on all coverflows and no code dumps in 3-up banners.

When I had them at 5 it didn't load them all on the 1-up coverflows.

Nice work, thanks for all the extra effort today.

I know Fix and Bostonbc are trying to fix the three row banner problem. And I hope they do because I have the prob too

But on a happy note for me. I managed to get the 'use neek' option working with wiiflow r616 and neek2o r90. The option was working but running wiiware games with the option set to 'no' caused a blank screen or something about system files corrupt error. After some searching i found mention of copying cert.sys from my real nand to my modmii nand so I tried it and it seems to have fixed my problem. now I can play all wiiware/vc games by just running wiiflow. Just have to set the problem ones to use neek. Also make sure nand emulation is set to full. The only down side is those that use neek don't return to wiiflow they return to the neek2o nand system menu.

edit - in case you don't know, neek2o r90 isn't officially released ... i was just one of the lucky ones on IRC that got a copy to try. Hopefully OverjoY will release it soon.

Quick question on the neek2o and emulated NAND in general... I looked at this about a year ago and found it incredibly difficult to setup, plus I didn't like having to extract my Wiiware WAD's. Has that changed or do you still have to do al the extractions? And if I extract my NAND and extract my Wiiware WADS (I have over 700 of them) would I be able to clone the setup for the Wii in my basement or do it all again on that Wii since it has a different 'key'?

At one point I was hoping the WAD's themselves could just be run but that's probably too much to ask.

Hope that makes sense, I'm not sure if I know enough about it to ask a good question ;)
I'm not a NAND expert .... OverjoY would know more.

first off I'm a little confused by what you mean extract you wiiware/vc wads. Obviously you don't have that many wiiware games on your system menu (it doesn't hold that many). have you made them into forwarder iso's or something.

You really shoud try Modmii ... it's really easy to make a virgin NAND. And then use showmiiwads to add your wiiware games to it. You could also use bootmii to make a nand backup and then use showmiiwads to extract the files and folders from your nand backup

If you use modmii to make a virgin nand i recommend running it in neek2o first for once before you add any wiiware games because the more wiiware games you have installed the longer neek2o takes (10 mins+) to run the first time.

@drakorex - make sure you have neek2o r90. And the 'use neek' option only works if you run wiiflow on it's own. don't run neek2o and then wiiflow. also a few other things i did to my modmii created nand was - copied savegame folders title/00010000 and title/00010004 from my old nand that was working with wiifow to my new nand, And i ran usbloadergx and used it to copy my Mii's and sysconf from my real nand to my new nand along with the cert.sys file from a bootmii backup.
I've been able to extract my NAND before and use ShowMiiWads to extract some Wiiware but had a lot of trouble getting triiforce to work last year. Sounds like it has gotten easier to run but I don't want to have to extract all my Wiiware games on both my Wii's. If I extract them on one Wii is there a way to copy them over to the NAND extract on my 2nd Wii?

I think it's either MMM or WiiMod (you can get in ModMii) where you can extract a title to a WAD file (in the AnyTitle Manager under advanced options if I remember correctly.)

EDIT : I know there was some WAD manager that could install WAD's to emulated NAND but I forget which one it was just now. I know a lot of them give you an error when you try.

Thanks, when I tried it last year it didn't work well and only about a third of the Wiiware titles I tried worked under Triiforce? Has it gotten better under neek?

Hmm, I don't actually have that big of a WiiWare collection so I wouldn't be able to tell you for sure. I don't play around with NEEK as much either (I plan to more now that WiiFlow directly supports it, though.)

Anyway, another option are these tools by [member='GiantPune']

I haven't actually used them myself but they're SUPPOSED to transfer titles from one BootMii dump to another (among other things). You could extract the dump when you're done, I suppose.

you can use showmiiwads to make wads of your wiiware on a nand backup. just go to view nand and right click on a title and select pack wad.

Alright, so I need neek2o r90. Where can I get it? Last I heard, it was still a private beta. Also, how should my setup look? As of now, I have my game collection mirrored on neek nand and wiiflow emunand.

(Also, something I noticed about gbatemp, this thread in particular, there sometimes are "ghost" pages beyond the actual last page. wtf?)

Small request if I may: Is there anyway that deleting WiiWare games with Wiiflow can be implimented? I mean its kind of a bitch doing it via wiiflow/emunand.

Does running Wiiware from emulated NAND fix the channel limit?
no you can only put the max ( i think it's 40. havent done it in awhile.).. though if the only things you put on the nand is wiiware/vc.(not pl4 an all that stuff.) then thats plenty of room. unless your like me an have all your vc/wiiware on different nands.( then make a dump of your nand with the neek2o channel). use that to launch into neek from "nandflow".( thats the only thing i have in the nandflow, is this channel, then i launch to neek2o an use postloader to switch betwwen my nin,saga,wii. nands.)

Darn, it would be awesome if you could run the Wiiware directly instead of having to chunk it at 40 at a time.
