Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[icebrg5]

I believe the r43 v222 change ios in game settings is the only bug with the release of r43.R-win is working on it so until then i would just use the r43 v249 instead since it does not have this bug and lets you change the ios to whatever you want for individual games.

Only complaint i have is all my favorite themes no longer work with r43 because of all the button/text overlapping in the settings menu but that's something only the themers can fix.

I know. But when I use v249 to start games with IOS 222 chosen, the games start very slowly.

 

[icebrg5]

Ohh ok

I've never noticed that but i normally use ios249 to start everything unless its some game that requires a different ios as the base like guitar hero games or Monster hunter.

 

[TeenTin]

222 v4 is my favorite.

 

[icebrg5]

Why not use v5 since its supported?

It is because of no ios base merge option?

 

[TeenTin]

Why v5 ? Any better than v4 ?


v4 is really stable and compatible.

 

[icebrg5]

No idea why lol

I just know its compatiable so thats why asked.I'm also still on v4 but i never use it so thats why i haven't bothered with v5 yet.

Hermes v5 is fully supported,

in v4:
202b57
222b38
223b38m37
224b38m57



Are those what you are suggesting to install with v5? I didn't know v5 was able to use merged ios for base?

Yes, it's possible. Only for 222 you are forced to use 38. For the rest, you can choose.

I always installed them through wad format and never saw any v5 that had merged ios bases that's why i was wondering

QUOTE(mayu29 @ May 31 2010, 03:06 PM)

Well, I've installed them through installer and I'm positive that merged IOS bases doesn't exist in v.5 or 5.1.

I was stating that 1. Wiiflow has 100% support for Hermes v5, and 2. My settings for Hermes v4.

in v5 is just changed a bit...... in version4 its 223 base 38 Merge 37, in version5 its 222 base 37 (in reality its THE SAME THING, 37 as base acheives the same effect as 38 moerge 37)

Not quite. Because it doesn't have the 38 parts in there, I think the ES Identify hack doesn't work. Thus you can't use it with the apps that still require that. At least that's the impression I got when I did the Dop-Mii patch checking thing on the v5 IOSes.

I'm not sure that any loader other than uloader truly has 100% support for hermes v5 or 5.1. One major change between v4 and v5 is that you can now do nand emulation using v5. Uloader can use this to run wii game saves on an emulated nand, and it also allows you to play vc and wiiware games. AFAIK, uloader is the only loader to support the nand emulation feature of hermes v5.

Aside from that, I don't think wiiflow currently has support for any cIOS installed to slot 224. If you try to run any games using IOS224 with r43 (using either 222 or 249 version), wiiflow freezes up on the "please wait..." screen. Once that bug is fixed (i.e., you can play games using IOS222, 223, and 224 with both versions of wiiflow), then it will have the same amount of support as other loaders such as CFG.

Disk detection problems

With this new release i had few times after restart of the wii, that the harddrive wasn't detected. A new restart was nessary!
In R25 this was never a issue for me.
After inspecting of the soure code i learned that the fountmount call before the IOS loading was removed (commented)

So i uncommented it and recompiled,now no problems with hardrive detections anymore. What was the mean reason to remove it (In SVN revision this was mentioned as some hardisk had problems with it?)


The source was compiled with R21 of devkit pro without any problems! Any reasons to still use R19?

I also changed the link of gecko code (Removed "www" in the link) and know for almost all games the cheats are found!

Per IRC

using r21 of devkit is necessary with newest source, the entire fat_ntfs branch is written for r21 and r19 wont work
The web address for geckocodes does need to be changed, i think xabby666 had posted this earlier, you are correct
You'll have to ask r-win or mugotu about fatmount changes

Works fine and without any problems here. So maybe you shouldn't buy crappy HDs...

 

[bander]

newest release crashes randomly hdd not detected. very unstable for me. i downgraded.

R25 works fine.

Stable.

 

[jservs7]

So weird that people are getting these HD crashes. :/ I was one that was using R25 forever and I switched over to R43 with no issues.

I of course did a complete clean install and let the new R43 build create all my new files and folders and just customized what I needed to. Did you guys try a completely clean install?

 

[r-win]

Everybody who reads this thread, will know exactly why I commented it. For person A it has to be in there, for person B it has to be removed.

I'll enable it again in r44, and we'll see what happens from there.
The change with the geckocodes.org url will also be in r44 (it's already in my sources).

@jodur: I think you read the wiki for compilation instructions? We don't use r19 anymore, but r21. I never updated the wiki.

 

[icebrg5]

r-win : So when is r44 going to be released.

It seems that there is no such "person B" for R25.
