Well,I think I doscovered a bug.
Using r687 I cannot start any GC games using Devolution.Wiiflow keeps returning to HBC.I tried PSO with r663 and the game boots perfectly.
Has anyone tried to use Devolution with the latest build?

Same here, wii games don't boot( get stack dump each time,with the 5 sec boot .) also wii tetris delux looks messed up..(game cover shows, but half black sqaure an the top part purple vertical lines.)
So still not sure if this is also the reason the banners looked messed up to some others.( though non of mine are,just the one game cover is messed up.).

Something's up with your setup bud. I've been launching many different Wii titles since last night and haven't seen any banner corruption yet. I have been using the default theme lately for testing.

Edit: Wanted to update that DUTag is working. I don't know when or what was the problem but it seems all is well. Thanks again for WiiFlow 4.0 woot woot

yep your right, i have nothing better to do then sit round an make shit up.
but it did turn out to be my error. had the wrong ini.(wiiflow). loaded an that's what was making it crash.
*see what i did. I screwed up an take full responsibility for it. all is good with your perfect little loader.
so i did a fresh install.of 663 an every thing works great .as it should. also i don't see any thing wrong with my newer theme.

OK! I finally solved my "exit to Neek2o" Problem. The solution was so simple that I overlooked it!
I saw this tip in AbdallahTerro's thread" (kudos to you)
WiiFlow-Mod and Emunand

, Q&A - Quick guide - Some tips

******sure you need v12c forwarder (here) and Wiiflow-Loader hidden channel to be installed on your Emunand******
I never installed the hidden channel to the nand emu!
Now it works and I honestly can't find anything that doesn't work as it should
Thanks to all for such an AWESOME piece of software. The WiiFlow team has MAD coding skills!

I can't say that I have any banner corruption issues and I'm using quite a few custom ones for my GC games...

Upgrade to WiiFlow 4.0 (mod-r687) it's the shit.. nuff said. Bout to try out Multi-Flow but I know it's also "da shiz" big thanks.

Just wanted to report back that I FINALLY got some time to sit down and figure out where my old H.A.W.X.2 error was coming from by removing and replacing settings files and testing the game and it ended up being something in my wiiflow.ini file. I've almost set all the global and INI-only settings back to where I remember they were and it's still working, though, so if I can't find which setting it was by the time I finish I'll have to open the two side by side and compare them ... or write a simple app to do it for me ... but thanks to those who were helping me realize it was something on my end.

It just occurred to me looking at that that it would be nice to put together an all-in-one install pack for WiiFlow for the main SVN (since it's not likely to be as constantly updated as the mod) with all the language and help files included and the plugin pack already installed, maybe even with the source menu from GoogleCode as well and as many 100% updated themes as the authors are willing to give permission to include. It would eliminate a lot of setup trouble for noobs.

Also, while I'm thinking about it ... Is the main SVN version set to do the internal update from the main SVN or from the MOD version? Just curious.

 

[Damian666]

now that is a great idea, thats gonna fix a lot of the newbie questions

 

[Maxternal]

I just went through the help files and updated them ALL to include the B-to-source thing from r668
It was pretty obvious which was the right line to change. All I did was replace everything to the left of the "=" with "B" on all of them.

Italian : http://www.mediafire...3j82663gzuxobnz
German : http://www.mediafire...k6fgjm0j85jcym8
Dutch : http://www.mediafire...v1sl151rrsy5cyo
Danish : http://www.mediafire...8dh97939i46ux4n
French : http://www.mediafire...2232xk79j1dy7ye
- and the two languages I actually know: -
Spanish : http://www.mediafire...7gf7sz5t7nv8cso
English : http://www.mediafire...szazmogu6a90d4z
(There isn't actually an "english.txt" file in the trunk on GoogleCode. I had to fix up a version from an old rev. All the more reason to include one now.)

Also,
@[member='Jiiwah']
for your issue you reported with the apostrophe ( the ' ) commenting out the rest of certain lines of the translation file, try this to see how it looks for you :
French.ini : http://www.mediafire...mwdjiwnjbb2b1en
I didn't actually change anything. I just replaced all the ' with the somewhat similar ` hoping that WiiFlow wouldn't interpret it as a comment.
EDIT : I'm not sure how many other languages have apostrophe's in their translation file but if this works for French, it'd fix those, too.

Whenever I try a new rev I let it build it's own WiiFlow.ini and than just copy my settings over to make sure I have no issues, it's a bit more time consuming but it works. I wish we could have like an external setting file that WiiFlow could read off to setup the .ini or maybe [member='Damian666'] will drop a beta of his wiiflow ini app lol. I haven't gotten him all the info just yet on ini settings but I'm close

THANK YOU! Glad to see I'm not the only one. I also haven't been able to boot devo games lately. To be more specific, somewhere between revs 672 and 676 Wiiflow stopped booting through devo, except on rare occasions. Hopefully this information will help in figuring out what went wrong.

I like to use this program for issues such as you described:
