Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[hicandturkey]

I know the topic of best external drive has been talked about over and over again until it's gotten beaten to death, but I can't seem to find anywhere on the forums that provides any info regarding a 2TB external drive that works seamlessly with a full blown WiiFlow setup. I've already looked at the USB compatibility wiki and it doesn't really seem to help much. Does anyone have any experience with a 2TB drive that works perfect with WiiFlow in correlation with Devolution, Neek2o, and any other additional setups?

No drive related issues with my WD 2TB passport.

Hey guys, looks like NOT64 got updated today
http://www.gc-forever.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=842
and the boot.dol is the same one we use as a plugin so I thought it would be relevant to post here, too.

I just use regular WiiFlow and don't play around with Devolution, Need2o etc and if you format a 2TB drive as FAT32 it runs regular games perfectly. I've used Seagates, Western Digital drives, Samsungs and Hitachi's without a problem.

Has anyone managed to make the doom plugin to work on USB, or we sol on that for now?

Noticed a while back that covers in jpg format have some crap around the edges, was wondering if that got fixed. Also, I asked earlier if there was an app to copy/convert real GC memcard saves to NMM, would like an answer on that.

For me JPG covers look fine with r783...
Yep, you can convert your saves to NMM, you need GCMM:
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/GCMM
That will pack your savegames into a gci file. Then use gci2nmm:
http://code.google.com/p/diosmios/wiki/Downloads?tm=2
That will convert it to a NMM compatible folder which you can use in DIOS-MIOS.

Doom from USB plugin is good on my end here too.

No drive related issues with my WD 2TB passport.

So the drive initializes pretty quickly once you turn the Wii on? Works well with neek20? What's your model number?

One other thing: I finally got around to setting up an emunand so that I could harness the power of WiiFlow and play the WiiWare/VC games through WiiFlow. Everytime I click on the emunand icon in the source menu, I get the wiiflow splash screen and then after a few seconds it codedumps. Neek20 works (although it takes what seems like ages to actually start up). I've tried setting up my nand for my SD card (SNEEK+DI) as well as for my USB drive (UNEEK+DI) and get the codedump each time regardless of where I tell it to find the emunand. I followed the guide on here to create the nand using ModMii: http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/f16/neek2o-setup-installation-guide-241036/ and used the WiiFlow wiki to integrate it into WiiFlow: https://sites.google.com/site/wiiflowiki4/emu-nand-and-neek2o. I made sure that the path in wiiflow.ini is pointing to the correct path. I'm not sure why it continues to codedump everytime. Any of you WiiFlow Ninjas know what the cause could be?

Well I know that emunand off sd is broken in 4.0.3... loading channels, savegame emu, and partial/full nand emu doesn't work at the moment unfortunately. Savegame emulation broken in wiiflow version 4.0.3
I have to move emunand over to usb instead for the time being... don't know if this info helps you (add your codedump to that issue if its related and you don't mind)

I didn't try the wiiflow neek functionality.

Ah, well I guess that's probably the problem then. I'll try using the last known working version of wiiflow that worked with emunand... I'm assuming this was 4.0.2?

Thanks for the suggestion Abz. I updated a bunch of things from your pack including the newer version of WiiFlow. Unfortunately, I still get a codedump when choosing to view the emunand from the source menu. Note: I deleted all of the necessary things after updating wiiflow (including wiiflow.ini).

delete wiiflow\cache\lists and try pressing "B" on CFG button, might work
Keep in mind this could be a faulty emunand. So you might make a new one and try again.
