Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[TeenTin]

I am very very happy. I will test the SSBB when I back home.

I found one bug. If you insert a disc while WiiFlow is running, you are able to install it automatically on your HDD. Once the game is installed, I get "Welcome to WiiFlow. I have not found any game. Click on settings to install games". If the game is already on the Wii before launching WiiFlow and I install it through the settings menu, I don't get this error.

Yeah, correct. That one will also be fixed when I commit it. The gamelist is cleared after adding a game, but it's not getting reloaded.

Did you make a change on WiiFlow for Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands? The game used to play fine with a patched main.dol before you fixed the installation bug. Now I get a black screen. I reverted back to r42 without your fix and the game works. That's weird.

Woops...you're correct, I did something there. I can fix that tonight too...

That is why I always hope the new release has only bug fix without new features.

r-win: it's easy for you to integrate the patch for prince of persia in the source code like for peppa pig?

I found another bug. You should check your source code for WIP files.

For Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands there is a WIP file available here. It works in NeoGamma, but partially in WiiFlow . I can press the home button in NeoGamma without problem, but it freezes with WiiFlow. However, WiiFlow is able to read the WIP file because I don't get a black screen. Maybe it doesn't read a line correctly or something like that.

some users wanted a trailer feature, the catch was you had to manually convet video file to .thp(?) and place them on the SD to match games ID not mentioning the file sizes of the converted file were huge lol......pointless really

Found the wip files but how to use with WiiFlow? Same as other loaders, just put in app folder where the dol is?

is that path for all usb loaders? will this work with on v25 of wiiflow or do I have to update to v42? v42 was having problems with covers and such. There are posts everywhere discussing this but none are directed towards WiiFlow (the best loader). Should we just wait for the next release of wiiflow which will fix all?

So that leaves 2 major ones right? (Full compatibility with Hermes cIOS v5 and downloading covers)

Check your config file for wiiflow.It will tell you in there where to put the wip files

Also i believe you need v39 or above to use wip files with wiiflow

Thx, fyi I extracted main.dol from partition1 using wiiscrubber then patched the main.dol with the ppf thingy I found then replaced the main.dol with the patched one. Ran this on wiiflow v25 222 and set game config to 249. Seems to be working just fine now. Thanks to everyone in the scene for all the information.
