Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[shortz1994]

yes massive i know that most of us only use usb. but seeing that none of the music players will even get as close, as i got to were i am with trying to do this on my own.(even after being told it could/would be done.). i'm not even going to start on my coding skills.(they suck, an when i'm drunk they are even worse. ). dmp will only read from sd.(just as wiiflow can, yes i know it will read usb to not stupid.).
but the fun part is i get to see my Ozzy/ Queen.ect. on my wiiflow. even if they don't play at this time.( nice to dream of the day when it will work.)

Just a thought that crossed my mind while discussing folder support and looking at playlists... but how difficult would it be to make support of something like a flowlist, similar to a m3u playlist. Just a simiple xml file that lists the location of all the isos, movies, roms, ect that you want in the flow. If these lists could be select-able from other flows it gives you both a more adaptable category system and the equivalent of folder support.

thats exactly what were trying to accomplish. but ur saying is hold 2 and press right or left on the dpad to browse through ur episodes

I'm sayin you can play dvd isos and display them in coverflow. Just launch it and select your episodes from the dvd menu. Check your Pm I sent you the argument you need.

Oh my bad, so you're saying with DMP you can see the MP3's in your coverflow while using other apps it's a no go. that's a horrible tease you gotta go through man, It's like see but don't touch, touch but don't taste, taste but don't swallow

LoL @ coding skills while drunk

I'm having a very strange problem lately with my emuflow: after adding some sega genesis games and covers, the new games are not showing covers.
I tried everything: I reloaded the cache, I checked if the filenames were ok, I even deleted the titlelist in the cache folder. They just won't show!
The covers are taken from mastershoes cover collection, so they are not the problem.
The funny thing is that this happens only to the sega genesis, because I've added some games and covers to the NES emulator and all went ok.

 

[Th3-Blu3BoMb3r]

did u check just to make sure ur folders are in the correct locations for box covers and are named properly to match the coverfolder in the .ini

 

[Tetsuo Shima]

Thanks, the problem was the.ini.
Months ago I reorganized the cover folders and forgot to update the .ini file in the plugins directory.
All my old genesis covers were showing despite being in another folder because they were all cached by wiiflow.

 

[Th3-Blu3BoMb3r]

welcome yea ive done that a few times always make sure everything matches the .ini

 

[shortz1994]

As promised. here is wiiflow showing a coverflow for a few of my music files.
yes using DMP (dragon media player.) as a plug in. now if someone with the skill sets could help make them launch, an not black screen, an not loading this would be nice...

 

[Maxternal]

As for the playlists, I'm having trouble finding information about the arguments that mplayer ce takes but it occurred to me that the having it directly run a file might have a different argument than having it directly open a playlist. You might have to adjust the INI's arguments somehow.

Just thought it proper to mark my 1000th post milestone here on the WiiFlow thread, cuz I love WiiFlow XD

All I request is proper DM 2.8 2 disc cover support, if you're out there fix94 and you can implement it rather quickly, it would be simply magnificent. Thanks again WiiFlow team for making this the damn best and favorite loader

 

[Th3-Blu3BoMb3r]

ok guys need help again dont know if im in the right thread is fba alpha just an arcade emulator like mame

Pretty much yeah. http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/Finalburn_Alpha_SG

For anyone interested I've created a thread for the plugins and apps I've put together for WiiFlow.
http://gbatemp.net/threads/maxternals-wiiflow-plugins-and-java-apps.344802/
I plan on adding far more documentation on each one there as well as add any future items I may put together.
It's still even missing my WiiFlow Crap autoboot plugin since that one I had never actually made a separate download for. It was always just included in my "plugin pack" but for now it has a basic description of each one and a download link (more to come).

EDIT : Just fixed that part. I cut a few things out of the aforementioned pack and re-upped it. Link is now available in the thread.

thank you very much

[Th3-Blu3BoMb3r]

ok great thanks now the other thing i need to know is are there specific types of roms for fba alpha or do i just put them in fba mame as mame roms

 

[Tetsuo Shima]

Fba isn't like mame, it doesn't emulate every arcade system, just some of them, but quality is excellent.
Roms are the same type used by mame, just be warned that you must use latest bleeding edge mame roms, old sets often do not work.
There's a great and very useful compatibility list in the Retroarch thread ---> Here (you need Excel to view it)
For memory limitations, on the Wii Fba was splitted up into several cores (fba_Cps1, fba_Cps2, fba_Neo Geo, fba_Pgm, fba_Psikyo and fba_alpha for all the rest)
In Wiiflow if you, like me, want to have all these cores in one single icon in source menu, you need to:
- put your roms for each core in separate folders, otherwise they would be repeated multiple times
- set up each core's .ini with the appropriate rom folder
- set up fba in source_menu.ini with all the magic numbers for each core separated by comma

P.S. PM me if you're interested in a nice source menu icon for FBA

awesome thankyou Tetsuo Shima and triptophan second question for fba_alpha which bios do i use
