Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[ToddofWar420]

I upgraded to 4.0 r430 and I'm still having a problem with 1 Wii game showing a double. Here's what all I tried so far:
-Deleted wiiflow/cache
-Deleted game, cache, and cover*
-Deleted wiiflow/cache/list
*After I deleted the game, cache, and cover, the next game after it was showing the double. wtf?!?

Also Devolution r135 isn't working like it was before (I think I read somewhere on this thread it wasn't working with others as well.)
If anybody has any other suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Welcome to the club

I finally narrowed it down and 673 was the last model in which devo worked correctly for me. @ AbdallahTerro , I'm confused. What do cios have to do with devo not working. I figured at most it would use mios and bc, maybe ios 58. It works on 673 just fine, and goes downhill from there. I talked to NJ7 on irc, and he said it wasn't working for him either, using 4.0.

I'm going to try the latest d2x beta and see if that helps.

Looking through the changelogs, I put together every mention of devo. Hopefully this will help.

674 -use the devolution sample loader device mount way to read the iso
(may fixes bugs in booting devolution)

678 -fixed booting devolution without AHBPROT patched out

685 -fixed devolution boot with ios249

If that doesnt work for you after r673 anymore, then I suppose you also have problems to use the devolution sample loader?

Devo still works for me using 4.0. I think that my prob was with d2x v8. It seems to give me issues with devo for some reason but when I installed v9 it started working again.

Not sure what you mean. If you mean the homebrew app, no, that worked when I first installed my games and Ive been using the loader.bin that came with it in wiiflow all this time. I apologize if I keep sounding like a broken record on this topic. Honestly I dont understand what warranted any devo changes after 673.

 

[drakorex]

I should also note that I already had the most recent d2x installed in slots 249 and 250. If someone could possibly make an all in one pack containing all things necessary to get wiiflow working properly,that might help. This means all bases, cios, channels etc. Just a thought. Might help prevent situations like this when others claim otherwise.

I would like to second that... Could someone make a compilation of all the Proper ios's and/or versions there of... Cause I cant get my plugins to work from a usb only setup.. also a few HB apps won't work iether, yet there are a few that will. If there was a set of precompiled wads with everything that works, i would think it would help get most rookies, myself included.. LOL on the same page as everyone else, no?

CHEERS

By sample loader he means this. Put it in apps loader and see if the games still boot, it's the loader that Tueidj provides and what is meant to be used to log reports for games on his thread. Loader.bin is for use with other loaders, I believe.

I have made one, but the cIOS have ninty code on them so it's not allowed to be posted here.

Is this an all-in-one installation pack for WiiFlow or is it something else?
EDIT : Nevermind. I answered my own question.

 

[drakorex]

Well, having nothing better to do, I decided to test 1 game 50 times with 4.0 using devo. The results were underwhelming, as was to be expected.

Devo isn't completely broken.. It boots games, just very randomly. Each number is an attempt to get the game to boot.

@MassiveRican Would you be able to provide a link to a zip file that contains all necessary ios in your wiiflow pack then?

EDIT: Also, isn't the sample loader what contained the loader.bin that I've been using all this time? Ya, I got that.

 

[Elegant]

Can someone test that please: 12c Starnight with original soundtrack loop: http://www.mediafire...fg4uhfdu93b645d
Carbonik is next need original soundtrack though, if someone has it please!

I've already made all the original forwarders found on wiiflowiki.com with the new 12c dol base. I just replace the dol with customize mii and leave the original banner and sound. Would you like me to post these, or are you adding your own personal tweaks?

Could you post a link to these? It would be greatly appreciated =D

 

[MassiveRican]

Here's a link to a folder with all v12c forwarders I've made. I'd like to provide a pic and link to each of these separately, I'll do it when I have more time. For now you'll just have to install to see what some of them are by installing what you're curious about. They've all been tested by me. Most forwarders are from wiiflowiki, so pics can be seen here (nvm wiiflowiki is down ). Title for all channels is "DWFA" so you can still download the GAMETDB cover if you so want.

All credit goes to original authors, such as Fix94, Mastershoes, JJ-Kwik, Jiiwah and Benjay. Please send me a PM if I have not credited you, my apologies as I don't know who all the original creators are. There's a total of 14 forwarders.

If the link doesn't work let me know cuz I don't share often so I might not have done it correctly.

I will not be sharing the cIOS pack, no warns needed on my end I might however if time allows to make a small tutorial showing how to do it with d2x cIOS installer 3.1. It's fairly easy, you'll just need a wifi/internet connection.

Better yet anyone interested in the latest d2x beta should just pass by the IRC I'm sure someone there can hook it up.

That sounds like the hdd isnt fast enough hooked up again actually, I'll may come up with a test rev the next hours/days.

did the hdd speed requirements increase since 673?

 

[FIX94]

No, but now I use the sample loader way, so I completely shutdown the usb stuff and then use the loader way to remount it, maybe it needs some re-startup before doing that.

Wiiflow 4.0 (r430) was released before r663 and it got an official update and all.
But when I go to updates on wiiflow 4.0 it tells me to update to 663...

What's going on?
Which one do I keep up with?

 

[FIX94]

What's going on?

The update function is still set to the old mod version, so you can just ignore it. I'll fix that with the next 4.0.1 release which will come the next weeks.

Alright awesome, thanks man

After I upgraded to 4.0, I let Wiiflow rewrite all my .ini files and now I can't seem to access my Wiiware Plugin without it crashing everytime and my Homebrew Apps plugin say **DISABLED**.. Does anybody know how to fix this? Thanks bunches.

For homebrew you set disabled=no in the [HOMEBREW] section of the wiiflow.ini file in the /apps/wiiflow/ folder.
In that same file, in the NAND section, you'll need to set the path and partition where you have your emuNAND located.
