[VashTS]

if someone does it, i'd like you, thats some incentive.

Checkout r930 - Added the ability to change emunands via wiiflow thanks to the file explorer.
Just go to page 2 of the nand emulation settings and click on the SET btn. File Explorer/Folder Explorer shows allowing you to choose a folder. Once you choose one click on the SAVE btn to make it official. Does not work with nands on the root of the device, must be in a folder.

Thanks fledge68 for this cool update. Though it would be nice to select root folder since that's what triforce, neek and mighty channel use by default. Another useful addition will be uloader "nand" folder support where only extracted wads exist which make it fail the security checks.
Hope to see more implications for this folder explorer later for custom paths too
Thanks again

Thanks Maxternal. I found a way to use sub-folders. I have now uploaded version 1.4 which will have sub-folder compatibility. This will see every file in the rom directory.

Testing v1.4. Working great for subfolders, however, is there a way to make it ignore (USA) or other region type code? For example it asks me to find arkanoid (USA).nes cover and the cover is arkanoid.png

I think you made a little error in the english.ini there....

Line 136: cfgne32=Change Nand
Line 137: cfgne32=Change Saves Nand

It can't be both cfgne32 me thinks..

Cheers...

Thanks for the heads up EtheBoss! fixed in r931

and added the ability to use root nands too!

Sorry about that. that was one of the first things i made sure worked. I guess i messed up coding additional stuff. I fixed it now. its still version 1.4.

WiiXL plugin1 (Atari800)

Source code

O2em plugin1 (Odyssey²)

source code


The o2em plugin is a new port of the emulator, because the guy didn't share his source code. It's based on o2em2 1.51.
I implemented a few things that are not in the version from Consolius:
* 2 players support.
* Save/Load state file.
No virtual keyboard, though. However, some keys are mapped :

Spoiler

Wiimote

[A] : key 0
[1] : key 1
[2] : Fire button/Enter
: key 2
[+] + [A] : 3
[+] + [1] : 4
[+] + [2] : 5
[+] + : 6
[+] + [UP] : 7
[+] +

: 8​

[+] + [DOWN] : 9​

​

Classic & GC pad​

​

same concept, just try it.​

​

​

When I looked for the source code, I realized o2em (o2em2 is an sdl fork) needs allegro library and that it will be a pain. But I tried this lib from Arikado. He has done a great job cause it builds and works. Unfortunately, there's no sound (that's why I opted for o2em2). That's a shame his lib is not complete cause there are some good games that could be ported without too much efforts.​

Sorry to double post but problem with edit. It's too hot here and don't want to rewrite the text.

 

[Etheboss]

and added the ability to use root nands too!

Thanx, it's ok now...but i found another little thing, more like a request, could you make it so the buttons for "Dir", "Save" and "Cancel" are translatable?

Oh, and the size of the save and cancel buttons is too small, the text does not fit...

after it runs through an entire directory (alphabetically), it starts all over again. I go a-z through the "did you mean" and then it starts again, all the exact same as before. and a couple are finding a little too broad on name (not that this isn't an easy fix on user end) but an example...it gave both Prince of Persia and Princess Tomato the cover for Princess Tomato

Sorry about that. Forgot a key part to put in the code. Try it now.

Wiimpathy your WiiXL plugin doesn't work for 5200 roms yet right?

fledge68 & FIX94 thank u so much guys, I've been wanting a way to be able to select multiple NANDS for a long time within WiiFlow, thanks for making it a reality, WiiFlow continues to be king of loaders XD

Oh and on another note after getting a Y-USB cable for my HDD, WiiFlow runs beautifully on my WiiU set to 480P with Settings Editor GUI 1.9. One loader to rule them all 'nuff said

Soupaman66 still not working on linux. Same as before

What type of Linux do you have?

 

[Maxternal]

Soupaman66 still not working on linux. Same as before

I think you said you were using something like openjava6 right? It's not quite the same as mainstream java, I'm sure, and java 7 includes some commands that previous versions don't that Soupaman66 might be using.
See if updating helps

You're right, 5200 games won't directly boot even if you have the 5200.rom bios. There are many options in this emulator, and I have to say this damn o2em port took me some time. Maybe, I'll try to make it automatic too (load cartridge and reset).

Shouldn't this be cover-2-rom 1.4.2

 

[Soupaman66]

Shouldn't this be cover-2-rom 1.4.2

eh I guess so but these changes are coming so fast I thought I could switch the file and have the same name without people noticing. I'm not a real fan of having long names.
