Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

That's not the mios i recommended

Pretty sure the 'wiipower cmios 10' one you said is 'Wiigator+WiiPower cMIOS-v65535(v10)' are the same thing.

The only other ones in ModMii are 'Wiigator cMIOS-v4 v0.2' and Waninkoko cMIOS-v4 rev 5 but these are older cMIOS's.

Try mine first and see what happens

Anyone elses Gamecube button disappear (edit: well, it comes and goes, sometimes) with r753? Both main game page and standard source menu.
Also, it took forever to boot the first time (like 4-5 minutes).
Last version I compiled (r735) was up within 10-15 seconds first clean boot, on 3 machines.
edit2: It seems to take a hell of a long time to reload cache too compared to before. Added about 10 titles since r735 but should not make that much of a difference I would think.

Thanks man.

I installed the cMIOSv10 you gave me and it boots from inside Wii-Flow (still not disc channel but I dont care so much about that)

Just for my own future reference where do I get the cMIOS you had?

EDIT

Haha, I notcied in Neogammer in GC setting, use external / internal / MIOS. So I installed the 'Wiigator+WiiPower cMIOS-v65535(v10)' I got from ModMii and tried the booting with the MIOS setting, same deal as within WiiFlow. So the cMIOS I was originally using was never working because Neogammer was using 'internal' setting, which I assumes uses stuff from inside Neogammer to boot GC games and ignores whatever cMIOS/MIOS your system has.

I am just confused about the different cMIOS that available? Why is ModMii recommending the cMIOS that wasnt working for me?

Setting up a friend's wii, he got a 8Gb card so I had to move the emulators to the usb. Can't get wiiflow to read games from usb though. Any help?

try starting wiiflow and go to emuflow. now go to config and change partition to usb1

 

[drakorex]

Tried it. Don't suppose you could give me a preconfigured ini with that setup?

As I said earlier my wads are the official wiigator 4 and wiipower 10 which I made using the official installers, I had problems with wiipower+wiigator 10 too.
To solve your disc channel issue give neocorp a try you'll find info here: http://gbatemp.net/topic/321110-poc-boot-neogamma-via-disc-channel/

Uhm OK, here its damn fast now compared to the old revs, for example to reload my plugin coverflow it takes not even one second and I have 222 games! How much games do you have?

I do not know where to put the covers retroarch (CPS1, CPS2, neogeo)

the default setting would make your extension x:/wiiflow/boxcovers/retroarch if it dont find a cover in boxcovers it looks in x:/wiiflow/covers/retroarch for the covers

I did some further testing of wiiflow 745 and here's what happened.

Wiiflow dol in SD/apps
Wiiflow folder in USB1
Data on usb=yes

Loads music from USB1/wiiflow/music
creates and loads cache on USB/wiiflow/cache
Loads plugins from USB1/wiiflow/plugins
Does not load source menu icons from USB1/wiiflow/source_menu
loads themes from USB1/wiiflow/themes, but they're broken. Missing buttons on two themes I tried, no source menu icons at all from USB1/ wiiflow/themes/abzcarbonik
only Source icons 3,4,7,8,13,14,15,17,18,19 from USB1/wiiflow/themes/8bit playground. same themes work just fine from sd
won't load boxcovers from USB1/wiiflow/boxcovers
Finally and my only real goal, emu plugins load files fine from sd, but not from USB, mplayer is just the opposite

Gonna try 753 in a little bit

37 seconds here on my 1166 game collection using r753. It seems faster but I don't have timings using older versions.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Just a thought: I wish this custom missing covers thing becomes a reality

....

A full set can be finished in one hour or less and added to any theme ...

Hmm.. ok not the right thread but maybe someone here has a quick answer for me since we started setting up retroarch-wii with WF.

I've been trying to get Neo-Geo games working with RA-Wii with no success (CPS1/2 no problem as long as you have the right rom) and I always get an error message. I've checked to see if I have the right romset compatible with FBA 0.2.97.26 and went to CAESAR (Catalogue of Arcade Emulation Software - the Absolute Reference) to see if my rom's were matching up with the database and I seem to be missing some BIOS files.

I wanted to see if anyone else has the NEO-GEO roms working w/o any bios files or if it's necessary for me to get them and where to place them IF I need them?

So indeed I needed the NEO-GEO bios files and I added them to 1 zipped rom I had and it worked (I think, since it shows up on FBA PC rom list as available now). Now my question is can I just put these files in the rom directory to save space? Is there some other method to include BIOS files w/o having to add them to each individual game and still make this work?

@[member='mastershoes'] "here's looking at you kid" after all your our resident game emu master with and w/o WF

Just clocked over ~405. I've added about 10-15 since r735 so will try a few things before I bother you more about it.
Edit: Just saw you made a possible fix in r754 - will compile that now and give it a spin tonight when I get home from work
Thanks for checking it out Fix - your work is sincerely appreciated.

 

[drakorex]

So still no explaination why I can't get plugins to find roms on usb?

 

[VashTS]

finally got back to using wiiflow! its been so long, thanks for all the work fix, its really appreciated.

i compiled 753 earlier today, did clean install (deleted cache folder and let it make its own ini). i had an issue where every time i load the channels section it code dumps, gonna try 755 and if i have time will let you know if it still has the same issue.


edit: huzzah! it seems to work fine now. i only tested one game but its not code dumping in the same spot. not sure what happened between the revs. if its helpful, the code dump happened when i switch to channels. after the first load, within a few seconds of the covers displaying it dumped. then it would reload in the plugin flow, going back and it would code dump almost instantly when entering the channels flow.

If you guys want the FULL fba emu core here you go:
http://www.mediafire...7m4iosgmiafit4c
I didnt include it because its 16mb extracted.

so what ariguments should we add to our plugin ini to make final burn work..also

now i dont know if there is a wiki explaing ALL option for wiiflow.ini but id love to read one. i was just wondering, when i use cfg, i have iso 'forwarders' for my wiiware games, but if i were to switch to wiiflow, how could i combine my DML/NAND/WII views iinto one? using config, the default view shows DML/WII/NAND games together, side by side.
please tell me i can achieve that effect somehow, or maybe its a feature that can easy be impemented within the configs?
any help? thanks! wifflow really brings out the best of a wii, and althoug its not as 'configurable' as CFG, every option i would need ina loader is pretty much covered.
other thing id like to do: rebind the controller somehow, or at least disable the source menu globally?

and non of my emulator save? how can i fix this or difine a save path?
when i change the video options it seems to save so im not sur if theres a config somewhere?
im using the latest beta that was posted in the thread and i cant get my scumm games to show up. i cant find any information on google either, i have the scummvm.ini in my pugins folder, is that correct? also my games work fine in scumm? thank you!
