Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[r-win]

sounds like FAT/NTFS support is still buggy if its not searching for any other available partition on start up if an WBFS partition is not found, maybe im wrong

It is only doing that when it's running under cios 249. It will only show FAT/NTFS partition when you have a 222 or 223 (rev 4) compiled version. The commit I made into sourcecontrol, defaults to 222, so if people just compiled it, it should be fine.

 

[Jiiwah]

I hope you used the language.ini from the branch? It included the hungarian language as a bonus

grrrr no, I'll update, sorry.

@all : Why compile and post your version, mine isn't good?

Maybe, but can you tell me how to get it work?

My setup.

SETUP 1:

4.2E
cIOS249_rev17
cIOS250_rev17
cIOS222_v4
cIOS223_v4
USB(FAT32):/wbfs/GAMEID_Game Title/GAMEID.wbfs

SETUP 2:

4.2E
cIOS249_rev17
cIOS250_rev17
cIOS222_v4
cIOS223_v4
USB(NTFS):/wbfs/GAMEID_Game Title/GAMEID.wbfs

SETUP 3:

4.2E
cIOS249_rev19_[37]
cIOS250_rev19_[37]
cIOS222_v5
cIOS223_v5
USB(FAT32):/wbfs/GAMEID_Game Title/GAMEID.wbfs

SETUP 4:

4.2E
cIOS249_rev19_[37]
cIOS250_rev19_[37]
cIOS222_v5
cIOS223_v5
USB(NTFS):/wbfs/GAMEID_Game Title/GAMEID.wbfs

but when i open wiiflow i got the WBFS_Open failed: -1 error and cannot change the partition option on pages 7. (it give me some currupt text)

Both GX and CFG can find my FAT32 partition.

@Maisto

as r-win has pointed out what IOS is your wiiflow running on, go to the credits page and it should be displayed there

 

[Maisto]

go to the credits page and it should be displayed there

That would be nice but i cant. i got there error message when i return back from the "settings" and there are no credits info in the settings.

language.ini

With hungarian language !!

 

[pepxl]

its not in the settings, there should be an icon in the main GUI but depending on what theme you have this will be a different icon

example

Carbonik's About/Credits icon is

Default About/Credits icon is

 

[Maisto]

When i go out of the settings menu i got the messege that there are no games. but i have

USB(FAT32):/wbfs/SPPEFS_Power Punch/SPPEFS.wbfs

and then i only have the options to go to settings. there other normaly "hidden" options is not there. so i cannot access the credits info pages.

 

[xzxero]

would anyone mind posting their wiiflow.ini because i can't get my covers to show?

I don't even think Wiiflow is reading my .ini file because I've edited the paths and the "data_on_usb" option and nothing still works.

Does anyone know whats going on?

 

[Benjay]

probably a stupid question but :

have you tried to simply delete your wiiflow.ini and run wiiflow , so a new one is created ?

 

[wizard70]

try changing this in the Wiiflow.ini then reload WiiFlow

partition=WBFS1

to

partition=FAT1 or NTFS1

sounds like FAT/NTFS support is still buggy if its not searching for any other available partition on start up if an WBFS partition is not found, maybe im wrong

was having same prob as maisto but done this and problem fixed THANKS

 

[WAIKIKI728]

Oki..i guess i made a mistake...


I have used a microsdhc with one adapter for sd...

I think rev.36 is not compatible yet...(i don´t have problems with cfg loader)

After downloading the covers the loader has created one folder called wiiflow in..

usb/apps/

I have inserted in there:my music and themes folders and the file languages .ini
and it worked well...

Tomorrow i will try with a normal sd card....


P.D.:
WiiBricker:Your compilation don´t have 7 pages (just 6)in settings menu so i can´t choose bettween fat1 or wbfs....

USB(FAT32):/wbfs/SPPEFS_Power Punch/SPPEFS.wbfs

heres your problem

r-winEdit: removed USB:/wbfs/GAMEID_Game Title (Be Creative).wbfs as posibility. That is not possible tongue.gif
Thanks oggzee, for notifying me.

Strange since I got no errors while compiling. But thanks for the notice, will remove my file then.

 

[WAIKIKI728]

I guess i did the things right...

Just let´s wait til omorrow...i will try with a normal SD card then...

Well, after some hours of test, wiiflow finaly works with FAT (USB Key 2Go, FAT as 1st partition, wbfs as 2nd partition, force FAT1 in wiiflow.ini) but can't get it works with NTFS (try to force NTFS1 in wiiflow.ini, set NTFS as 1st or 2nd partition : nothing works)

 

[pepxl]

probably because your NTFS partition isnt the 1st partition your FAT is

Heh...you're confusing things now

He tried: USB(FAT32):/wbfs/SPPEFS_Power Punch/SPPEFS.wbfs
I removed: USB:/wbfs/GAMEID_Game Title (Be Creative).wbfs
You see the difference here? The one I removed doesn't use directories, the one Maisto tried does. The variant Maisto has, is indeed correct and should work.

 

[r0bb12]

probably because your NTFS partition isnt the 1st partition your FAT is

Try as 1st : doesn't works
try as 2nd : doesn't works

 

[r-win]

probably because your NTFS partition isnt the 1st partition your FAT is

Try as 1st : doesn't works
try as 2nd : doesn't works

Well, it shouldn't matter. My NTFS partition is 3rd. FAT is 1st, WBFS is second. Anyway, order shouldn't matter. The whole partition table is used, even the logical one. Oggzee wrote a nice piece of code for that. Anyway, we'll have to test a bit more on NTFS, I guess...

No thats not the problem. i have done this

USB:/wbfs/GAMEID_Game Title (Be Creative)/GAMEID.wbfs

and not this

USB:/wbfs/GAMEID_Game Title (Be Creative).wbfs

So thats not the problem.
