So if I've understand correctly it IS possible to use port 1 with Wiiflow.
From what I know, the only CIOSes that support port 1 so far are d2x-alt and Hermes CIOS (which I'm currently using with UsbloaderGX and port 1 works)
So, I think that maybe also wiiflow can use port1 with Hermes Cios. Am I wrong?

 

WiiFlow can use both D2X-v10-beta53-alt and Hermes cIOS so I don't see why it wouldn't be able to. Take a chance and check it out. Let me know how it works out for you. Your Avatar kicks ass btw.

 

Thanks, it's from the manga Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo, and that's where my nickname comes from. /OT
I'll check out later when I have more time if I can make it work with port 1.

 

font_weight does control the boldness but doesn't seem to work very good. It seems to depend on the font being used. zero actually tells wiiflow to use the default which is bold on. for no bold try setting it to 1. The font_weight under the [GENERAL] section will affect all fonts unless it is specified under the specific label such as [GAMEINFO/PUBLISHER] . I've tried messing with font_weight myself but didn't have much luck. Anything over 8 doesn't seem to have any affect and like I said it depends on the font used.

 

no matter what i do i cannot create a cache for the life of me!
since i updated to rev 878 it started, it deletes my cache when i update, but then no matter what i do - 'update_cache' in INI = 0/1, neither one recreates the cache. GGGGAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
ive tried various combinations of update_cache, reload cache, changing the 'ini_rev' number. wtf!
my wiiflow wont create a cover cache for my wii games, my wiiflow folder is on an NTFS drive, thats where i keep my covers.

surprisingly using emuflow creates a cache, i have 2 'wiiflow' setups. im pissed. love wiiflow thx, plz help!

 

That would be very kind.
I just installed version 4.1 and I can see my HD on port 1 with all my games, they even show banners, but they don't start (none of them) and after a black screen I'm back to the wii menu.
Not knowing what to do I tried changing Cios in startup settings to 222 and 223 and force load cios (not clear what it does but it slow down very much the booting of Wiiflow)
Now every time I start Wii flow I get a code dump.

 

Okay, sorry for not having much time to test this out or work on it but I finally got around to testing out how well this thing does on the "return to" feature.

It's SUPPOSED to automatically return to the WiiFlow hidden channel (WIIH) but instead it just gives a black screen with the drive light blinking
I assumed the WIIH channel is found at 00010003-57494948 since it's a hidden channel but I might be wrong.

What DOES work, though is the user defined return to value. I changed the argruments= setting in the INI from
{name}
to
{name}|--NK20
and it returns to real NAND just fine.
Theoretically you could also change it to
{name}|--DWFA
and it will return to WiiFlow IN Neek2o the NORMAL way which might not take you back to the plugin coverflow but would work otherwise.
You can replace those last four digits with the ID of any normal channel you want that you have on your emuNAND.

- - - - - - - - - -

The arguments, for future reference, it takes up to 4 arguments.
argument1 argument2 -argument3 --argument4
The last three can be in any order and are all optional. It tells the difference by how many hyphens ( - ) it starts with
argument1 - The first 4 digits will tell it what game to boot. If the only the first 4 are letters/numbers it will assume it's a channel. If the first 6 are letters/numbers it will assume it's a Wii game and will try to boot it with DI.

argument2 - a custom NAND path if your emuNAND isn't just the last one used in the normal place Neek2o looks for them.

argument3 - a custom DI path if you're trying to boot a Wii/GC game with argument1

argument4 - the ID of the channel it returns to. It will use the first 4 digits of whatever you put there. It will have to be a channel in the 00010001 folder.

 

I want to check retroarch out soon and play gb, nes and snes games...
I would like (if its possible) to use wiiflow emuflow as I hear retroarch supports this kind of setup (arg support),

Question.
Can I point wiiflow to retroarch and leave it installed in my apps folder (so I can update retroarch and load from Hbc also if I want to) or do I need to use a special custom version?

I'm really hoping I can just point wiiflow to my retroarch folder and work it this way.
Never used emuflow yet but excited, thanks in advance fellow wiiflow fans for any info that will help me.

 

I need some clarification on how emuflow works:
If I've understand correctly, plugins are basically the emulators dol files with some modification by wiiflow developers to be able to work with wiiflow, right?
So if one emulator receives an update I can't use it unless it gets turned into plugin form? I hope to be wrong.
Sorry but the plugins setup guide on wiiflowiki is very confusing to me, not to talk about source menu (I don't even know what it is).

 

Well done Fix94, I've just tested it with d2x v9 beta : everything works like a charm :
- Covers download / update : OK
- Wii games : OK (3 tested)
