Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[drakorex]

Thanks I was checking file extensions and realized those should work. Trying now.

Do you know of a GXGeo plugin?

not off the top of my head.

not off the top of my head.

No worries, it's an old arcade one, I'll try Mame.

I tried running the .pce games from the HBC and WiiMednafen emulator and can play the games without a problem but under WiiFlow it is exiting to the main channel menu. All my other plugins are working ok.

Here is my medfnafen.ini


[PLUGIN]
magic=54473136
coverColor=ffffff
coverFolder=retroarch
fileTypes=.pce
romDir=wiimednafen/roms
dolFile=retroarch-wii/mednafen_pce_fast.dol
bannerSound=mednafen_pce.ogg
displayname=TurboGrafx-16
consoleCoverID=nintendo
arguments={device}:/{path}/|{name}
I have the TurboGrafx-16 games under M:\wiimednafen\roms\PC Engine and Wiiflow is picking up all 374 correctly but when I play any it returns to the main channel menu.

Hey everybody! I'm currently having a problem with loading some of my newer games. I'm very familiar with Wiiflow and how to use it. But my problem is that when I boot up any newer game (Monster High: 13 Wishes for an example) I get to my loading bar and it freezes at about 15% and shuts off my wiimote. I've tried to change my cIOS and even to forced it too. All my other games seems to be working fine tho. My Wiiflow is r1000 and I've tried to update it but went back seeing if I could find the issue. I'll update it when I do. Anyways, If anybody got a suggestion that would be great!
Thanks.

oaky i understand it now.
You can only use covers for Emulator / Retro / Classic by downloading or adding them manually and renaming it like

Mario Party 2 [NAZP].z64
Mario Party 2 [NAZP].z64.png


Or redirecting File / Cover with an manually edited .ini



But


@ programmer / developer

GameTDB still have an retro / classic VC game section for Covers. And all Those games have specific ID´s


So please integrate support for Retro games in to the next Update =)





I have no problems renaming my games manually.
But maybe an Tool has same functionallity like DiscEx (automatic renaming GC Titles) would be useful for retro / classic games

Dcvg5k plugin

Source code

It's a vg5000 emulator. This old computer was only released in Europe(mainly in France). Not many games, and not very good. The pac-man clone (glouton) isn't so bad though.
Wibrew page with some games for the curious ones.

Added to extracted pack + source menu + sourceflow + full missing cover
New stuff will be added to Carbo-Abz theme and 7zipped pack on my next update
Thanks Wiimpathy for the dedication

Is there anyone here that can translate Japanese?

I have a game that seems to be hanging when I start it. Ikenie no Yoru [SEKJ99]

Here is the error:



TIA

 

[VashTS]

thats not the proper text anyway bostonBC, i've seen that before and i did not know where it came from. its like the game displays corrupt characters when its forced to use another language.

edit: nevermind...

maybe is it nunchuk not detected?

I tried connecting the nunchuck with no effect. And I tried switching the language to Japanese for the game but it did the exact same thing. Might be a bad copy. A friend wanted it for his niece and it took a long time to find.

Anyone have an update for the FCE UltraGX/NES and SNES plugins? They are asking for an update when you use them. But the update doesn't update the plugin dol.

I have 3.3.1 and 4.3.1 respectively.

I updated : http://www.mediafire.com/?61bc60r8p6sm7ag

There is a bug with the categories buttons though.

I changed the animation slightly and updated to r1045 - it's a strong look, thanks Fix & Mamule

Completely Kosher - tested OK, except for catagories button issuee as described in other r1045 builds.

I wish I knew what causes this text issue because it affected my games severely, even english ones. i never found my answer but i assumed its IOS related. if you find out the cause let me know. i bet if you try other japanese games the text will be garbled like that too. some homebrew were affected, i think it was back when disc launching just became a reality and i was using an old software, i cannot remember the name but it was like softcorp or something similar (this is back when backup launcher gamma 0.3 was the best ).

so beware text issues with other stuff.
