Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[hybridLearner]

I am loving the new work that has been done to this app! Currently I am using r119 and am having a few issues, (ones that I've been having awhile).

1. When selecting any of the default channels (mii channel, photo, etc.) it brings me to the system menu, and when I press the home button then wii menu, it loads back to wiiflow. (not a huge issue, but is this happening to anyone else?)
2. There are a few channels that I had added like snes9x, fceugx, and a few wiiware games. They didn't have covers, so I added some that I found and placed them into the boxcovers folder, but it's not bringing them up in wiiflow


I'm using wanin's rev19 and the latest priiloader to load things.

Also as a feature request (sorry to be needy), I would like to convey some interest in maybe having a page or something that showed how many titles are installed and how much space is left. My hd is approaching it's limits and it would be extremely convenient to be able to tell just how much space is left (without getting off the couch of coarse!).
Thank you to anyone that has worked on this, it has been fun to watch this program evolve into what it is now!

I upgraded to r117 and noticed two things...

First, to upgrade/downgrade again, I have to click B on the upgrade button as A no longer does anything there... probably a desired change?

Second is probably not... I have a knock-off nunchuck connected to the official wiimote when I start wiiflow. When it loads, all the titles scroll to the left as if I am pressing the nunchuck stick to the left. I remove the nunchuck and it stops, put it back in and it starts. I confirmed this isn't the case in a game (randomly loaded while it was scrolling) and the nunchuck worked fine in the game. I also downgraded to r104 and did not have this problem, so it was introduced after... I know you're working on the controller stuff now, so I'm glad to help test this if needed...

edit: I don't have an official nunchuck to test with as I gave those to my parents for their wii

upgrade/downgrade is fixed in r119 try your nunchuck with this rev instead.

While your fixing all the bugs and such could you look into that theme bug. I noticed that even on the default theme if you launch wiiflow using priiloader and a forwarder that the about button comes up from the bottom of the screen at a different speed that the rest of the buttons and if you have carbonik as a default theme it comes up from the bottom even though the theme tells it to comes in from the right. I am not the only one having this issue, i think etheboss said he had the same issue.

I have found that if you load wiiflow from system menu forwarder or from HBC all is fine. This is a strange bug so good luck and thanks for all the work lately. I especially love the adding back of the 'A' button to launch game when wiimote pointer not on screen. Also I posted on irc but not sure you will get it that the update button is not working for me in r117. If this is temporary by design then never mind.

*** After further testing I noticed that if i press the "B" button on the update button then it launches. Buttons must have gotten reversed.

The themes issue is related also to the same problem too large of an language.ini and wiiflow.ini. Those themes you mentioned are larger overall than benjay's others i assume? Basically all of the settings aren't getting loaded.

The upgrade button was fixed.
Nunchucks only scroll in coverflow if the magnitude (how far you press the stick) is more than 15% . Im guessing your knock off nunchuck is not zero'd out as well as the factory nunchucks. This may be fixed when i can make the delay work and speed sensitivity on that right stick.

Edit 29-7: hmm, somehow posts from mgrimmenator and miigotu did not show befor i posted, sorry for the double post....

 

[mgrimmenator]

Miigotu:

You are aware that the default theme has this issue as well of not all the settings loading? If you look at the about button when loading from priiloader you will notice that it loads slower than the rest. But the default theme doesn't load from a file so if the problem is size what's up with that?

 

[Benjay]

Hummmm

here are the sizes :
- Carbonik = 2.08 Mo
- Violet = 1.61 Mo
- Green = 1.02 Mo
- Orange = 1.73 Mo

The problem occurs only with Carbonik and Violet , but Orange is bigger than Violet.
It looks like it's not related to the size of the theme.
Btw , i'll try to reduce the Carbonik's size in the next version

Uhh, ok, it seems that updating priiloader to the latest beta and also updating Wiiflow to the latest rev (R120) fixed the problem

.

I also managed to exit to HBC 1.07 (pressing the Home button), sadly it only worked the first time.
After switching off/on the Wii, exiting to HBC is freezing my Wii again.

 

[mugotu]

yeah thats an hbc issue im thinking, idk why it works every time for me.

 

[mgrimmenator]

Well, I concur with Etheboss. r120 and priiloader v5 beta seem to have fixed the theme issue. r120 with priiloader r4 still had the issue. I am just wondering what changed in priiloader to make this now work and how can it effect wiiflow like that? just curious.

 

[terminal_illness]

where can i get r120? please dont just say come to irc. how about server and channel?

Want to know if something can be done about this. I have on occasion an issue with the kids taking all the wiimotes to someone elses house and syncing with their wii. Then when they come back it is not synced to ours. Since my setup autoboots into wiiflow then i'm screwed. I have to use a gc controller to go to system menu to re-synce the wiimotes.

Could you please if possible (i hope) add this as a feature to wiiflow.


Thank you

Cant you just use the sync button on the wii (red button next to SD slot)?

No, the sync button only works when you're in the systemmenu.

@mgrimmenator: no, we can't. Not unless people have found out how to turn the bluetooth radio into discovery mode.

 

[mgrimmenator]

that sucks, i wish it were possible. oh well thanks to Miigotu for adding other controller support to make it easier to get to the system menu.

and welcome back r-win. hope you had a nice time off.
