IMO adding ncard functionality if worthless, Completely taking steps backwards if you have to add a delay to booting games, one of the great things about wiiflow is how fast it boots game once i click play, rev19 made this even faster. Making it longer is a HUGE step backwards, unless you can turn it off.. Or make it an extra button to send, dont have it send everytime you push play. But that would piss themers off. IMO, things like auto-update function, categories like vips patch, and/or adding a small place where the size of games can be displayed and a game count/hdd info in settings or somthing would be MUCH more beneficial.

I agree with r-win that a seperate application that reads the board and sends it that way would be alot better. So all we really need then is the USB loader to post teh games to the message board

i agree, i think options like this one (not nescessary for all "gameplaying or coverdisplay" related) should have a on/off on it.
so getting the loader slower will be the user choice

availability to enable/disable options may be a good way to stop complains, you want it : set it to on, otherwise let it to off (doing this via the .ini file can be a good way to avoid themers complains) so that way everybody's happy no matter if there's too many or not enough things on the loader, useful or not.

by the way, since page 7 of wiiflow, i didn't see a bunch of new themes anywhere, so personally i wouldn't code regarding them

finally i totally agree about priority for options you listed : infos about MY system is more important for me than lookin' other's stats or sending my stats to them

I would like to see the cover bug done with , then move on to FANART then ..


Im kind of new to wiiflow, by cover bug that would be the covers with green lines? if so then yes please get rid of that bug PLEASE.

i was messing with the cover options on cfg (my fav of course), and i like coverflow options. and obviously wiiflow has the most and best options to do so.

what is the cause of the bug?

What things would Mrs. r-win like to have done with WiiFlow?

Keep up the good work, I'm just a boring user who is content with using wbfs on my hard drive, and have no complaints! I know how long stuff like this can take to do and there are many people out there who appreciate your hard work, especially my friends that come over!

Nothing with Wiiflow I'm afraid. She wants both Wiis and the XBOX360 moved out of the living room, and stored somewhere else, I'm afraid.

Actually, she even mentioned selling one of them!

P.S.: Now don't start bashing here, I still like her

Hi everyone,

I'd like to know if an "install" option in Wiiflow could be expected shortly.
Wiiflow is indeed the only loader compatible with my HDD. I can't install game with GXLoader or SD loader.
With GXLoader it freezes, With SD loader it is written "no wbfs partition found" and of course there is one on my HDD.

This option would be really great

Install option? It's right there, in the menu! Or insert a disc when wiiflow is running. Or am I missing something?

If you are using a wbfs format drive, simply use r25 and the install options work fine. it was only the introduction of the FAT and NTFS support that broke the install function...I think.

Yes, thank you it works fine now,

Yet I still have a black screen on some games, or the game freezes at the first screen with the wiimote. My wiimote is disconnected and the screen freeze, I have to reboot.

What's the matter

?

Edit : one game does not work with wiiflow but the same game is booted by USBloaderGX, yet with some display bugs.

i'll need to ask r-win, he only compiled a 249 version till now, he's already gone to bed though


Thanks a lot.

Would you please explain the meaning of "CHAN" in the line :

returnto=CHAN

?

Moreover, is it possible for WiiFlow to run the main.dol in SD instead of embedding the main.dol into the iso ?

Thanks !

this is what r-win told me:

Spidy1000, you can set returnto=CHAN in the [ GENERAL] section
so that it will patch games to return to the wiiflow channel

I dont think wiiflow can use dol's from the HDD anymore, but i'm not sure, r-win will have to answer that

I see. "CHAN" stands for channel.


As for the main.dol thing, I want WiiFlow to load main.dol from SD but not HDD.

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
