This is great news!! THANK YOU

Couple of questions though, is this R27 any different from vip patched version like the update path fixed? Also its unclear what exactly the folder structure rearranging means, does this mean it will no longer use USB fat32 first, it just says sd:/?

Also does this have the freeagent wake drive fix from wiinero a bit ago?

The rv27 works in 249 or 222 cIOS??

 

[Benjay]

^^
well , i'm not on vacations lol , i'm reading here everyday.
I was waiting for something like that , to get me back in the wiiflow's fever

so , i'll have a look at the R27 tomorrow , to see what has to be updated in my themes

(and who knows , maybe i'll update them at the same time).

I suppose it only means instead of having sd:/wiiflow AND sd:/apps/wiiflow now everything is under sd:/apps/wiiflow

(same for usb:/)

The update feature is actually not added and about the path it just means it should be usb:/apps/wiiflow/themes btw. usb:/apps/wiiflow/themes now

Props and a word of encouragement to y'all who have a hand in moving it forward.

I don't know if you'll read this, but you forgot to change the revision number in menu_about.cpp. By the way, nice change you made!

 

[geedub]

more info please is wiiflowR27.dol based on 222 or 249 ?

im assuming its 249 as nothing has been mentioned !

Ups okay

. However the cheat menu stuff is from VIP (well i wrote my own but VIP´s was just better especially cleaner

)

You can choose what cIOS should be used in the global settings and game settings so there should be no need for special 222 or 249 versions (i think

).

I tried the peppa pig fix for r25 and it worked fine but seems to crash a few of the other ones - im wondering if anyone can take a look at this for r27 and see if it can be sorted out so that it will work but wont have an adverse affect on other games ?

There are a few games i have found to give trouble in wiiflow but i really dont mind given that it looks so well.

I read something about zip files and wii flow ... mind if i ask how this might work ?

yes i agree but WiiFlow has never had a global setting just game setting !

WiiFlow does have global settings but i just checked R27 and it loads 249 and nowhere in the global settings can you change what IOS to use as global, This would be a great addition though

thats what i said WiiFlow has never had a global setting for you to pick 222 or 249 ! hence why i was asking

Even worst, R27 makes the settings menu a bit mess.

Does this release add the implementation that fixes a lot of Seagate HD's? WiiflowR27t1_249 fixed it, just curious if this one uses that same method.

EDIT: I just tried the newest revision, and it didn't fix the problem (lol) this problem has been mentioned time and time again, and the fix has proven to be easy to implement, but for some reason it wasn't implemented.

The new development seems a little chaotic.

 

[uberbdon]

I'm really hoping all the people that want to dev pull together as a team

 

[MrKill]

This isnt less chaotic than USB Loader GX (since r883 (or 893 im not sure) A lot of thing broke and they need to restart all in r897 or something similar, bref, it was very buggy hi hi hi.

This kind of bug is normal in developpement of homebrew, this is why we are tester for these version

and this is why they need a lot of revision.

 

[WiiNero]

Why the data directories was changed in R27?

In my opinion, it brings no benefits, but only confusion!

I hope there will be no second GX. My hair stood on end.
