Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[AbdallahTerro]

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 :
Wiimote
....too much efforts.

o2em not working for me
always giving this weird blackscreenish error, when I press home the menu shows fine, only when loading games does this happen

XL working fine so far
10x

This error happens only in 50hz (I haven't tested before). Change your video settings in Wii menu to 60hz if you can, and that will work.

I'm on Ubuntu 10.04 and yes I have open Java 6 JDK. I tried now with mainstream Java 6 but it's the same.
I'll try uninstalling Java completely and then install Java 7. Or I can keep Java 6?

 

[MassiveRican]

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.

Just used latest 1.4 for Mastershoes/Sion Zaphod's latest SG-1000 set and it worked like a charm, it even recognized strange game names like C_SO!.sg. I think it best to choose the cover folder first and then the roms right? Anyway I had to run it through twice cuz the first time it only output 53 of 66 but I just might not have refreshed properly.
Great job again on this it's making things a breeze

I kinda think it can only run one at a time. Don't quote me on that, though.

 

[Tetsuo Shima]

Ah HA! Java 7 did the work. Java 6 is still installed but did no harm, you can select Java version with with right-click 'Open with...'

Hello, I need help. When I am in plugins emu menu and I press "B" button, wiiflow restarts and it doesn't show source menu. I tried everything...
Someone knows what i have to do?

Your welcome! I don't think the order matters but if its better then great.

Did you try deleting the source menu and trying again from scratch?

Great. Did you try the latest version of my program yet? I want to know if there's any more issues.

Yep, I have tried it, source menu works fine if I launch it from wii, dios mios, nand or homebrew, but if I launch It from plugins Wiiflow restarts.
I think it is a plugin issue. Even so thanks for the reply

Why does my wiiflow have such a long startup? I did a fresh install and no matter how many times I open the channel it will not load as quick as it did when I wasn't in version 4.0. Ever since 4.0 came out its been like this, I used to be able to open wiiflow, it'd load immediately and when I opened a game it loaded quickly too

With configurable USB loader, it's instant for startup and loading a game...but I do not like it enough to use and would much rather use WiiFlow. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Quoting myself, but this seems to have went unanswered

Any suggestions? My startup is very slow, but games seem to load as quickly as they did before.

have you tried to see if the timing is different when you launch it from the forwarder channel or homebrew channel?

Sorry, not too keen on Wii vocabulary...but a forwarder channel is the channel on the Wii dashboard right? I've always launched from there, and never launched from the homebrew channel. I'm about to check and report my findings via the edit button

Edit:

So, the channel on my dashboard took 28 seconds, while the homebrew channel took 25. Ok, I exaggerated on the amount of time, but it's a big enough difference if Configurable USB Loader is instant

Am I doing something wrong here? I have all my Wiiflow files on my SD card, and my games on a portable harddrive

I would suggest making sure wiilow is updated to the latest. 4.1.3. First you delete wiiflow from the apps and the root of the sd card,b ut you can save things like covers, music, themes, etc.

get 4.1.3 and see if its quicker

I've been on 4.1.3 for about a week, BUT I'm not sure what I did...but it seems my channel loads at a much better rate now. It took about 5 seconds, which feels like nothing, and that's good enough for me. Must've been something with my settings I guess

I had the same issue, Check with other sd card or copy your files, format and paste your files and trie.

that crash makes no sense at all, it crashes on decoding a jpg file but I can clearly see all your covers are already cached?
