Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[salamonius]

you can get Benjay's honey forwarder

I just got that one but it is telling me that the dol/elf does not exist in the path.....be nice to know what the path is...lol.....any idea?


Oh and yes it was working till i updated it then the channel stopped working so i deleted it all and started over......just can't get it to work as a forwarded channel......i am at a loss....and a lack of sleep lol.....

This means we will have the same compatibility as neogamma for discs as most of our patch code is a modified version of their source (+ some enhancements).
Also I have patched 001 on launching dvd, so no need for darkcorp or a modchip.

disc launching from wiiflow or channel?

from wiiflow......

wiiflow's boot.dol must be in apps/wiiflow/boot.dol for forwarders to work.

@Benjay

Considering the violet theme, I found that the new buttons you create are not consistent with the old ones. The symbols in the old buttons are inclined in the same angle as the buttons, while the new ones (usb, channel and disc) do not.

Violet is my favorite after all.

I'm on it

I'll post here when the corrected version will be out.

Try to manually edit your wiiflow.ini file

edit the partition under [ GENERAL ] to NTFS1

Ok that's done.
I've modified the channel , usb and DVD icons to make them look like the others.
In the mean time , i've changed the favorites and parental icons , with no yellow color.
And finally , i've slightly modified the background in menu , so the labels are more readable.The theme is available on same link as before , so:
http://benjay.free.fr/wiiflow/violet.rar
or on Spidy1000's FTP , or on wiiflowiki.

I tried to update via the upgrade option and after the update finished I restarted Wiiflow resulting to a Code Dump.What drives me insane is that everytime from now on I try to boot Wiiflow a code dump occurs....But why?Why an auto-update to r104 (IOS249) causes a code dump?

Can anyone help me,please?

Hello panmusic, if you come to #wiiflow IRC, you can get help there...but usually stackdumps means bad ini files or cache...

Well one thing is that the returnto=no should be returnto=0 ........ and are you loading it with a channel forwarder or through homebrew? ...... i ask because i can load it from wiiflow in homebrew but not through a channel.....

 

[salamonius]

Ok i downloaded benjay's channel forwarder and installed the wad......i am getting dol/elf does not exist in the path still......i have reloaded wiiflow double checked that the dol is in sd://apps/wiiflow .......i am at a loss anyone have any ideas?

 

[Benjay]

Yo guys , i had some free time today , and wanted to test a bit customizemii (great tool , much more user friendly than wadder ^^).

So i've made forwarders matching with my 4 themes.
They are all based on the first one , carbonik , i mean they all have the same animation.

But i've modified colors for each of them to match the theme they are linked to , and changed the background too , using the same background as the theme linked to

They all look for wiiflow in the following paths:
USB:/apps/wiiflow/boot.dol
SD:/apps/wiiflow/boot.dol

They all have different ID , so you can install the 4 if you wish to ^^

Here they are :

Carbonik forwarder (WFBJ)
Green forwarder (WFBG)
Orange forwarder (WFBO)
Violet forwarder (WFBV)

Enjoy

[salamonius]

PERFECT!!!!!......You Rock!!! my wiiflow channel now works like it should!!!!........AWESOME JOB......

 

[Fox888]

Yeah..
THANK YOU SO MUCH..

(you are brilliant Benjay)( The orange forwarder : love it )

 

[Benjay]

PERFECT!!!!!......You Rock!!! my wiiflow channel now works like it should!!!!........AWESOME JOB......

Well , it should have worked from the very first time , because i didn't change anything in the paths , or the dol ^^
I've only modified pictures lol

 

[salamonius]

and the only thing i did differently was use your forwarder........i deleted your forwarder and used the one on google code.....done the same thing deleted that and re-installed your forwarder and works flawlessly.... go figure.....i dunno what to say.....

 

[Benjay]

It works , that's the most important
