Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[enemywithin]

RC1 working good for me so far. Nice job! Only strange thing I noticed was a shaky Wiiflow busy screen when a game is loading. Also, I tried "use_grab = yes" and didn't notice anything. What does it do?

Nice work on the new RC1 release Wiiflow team.

Now Call of Duty: BO works perfect using cIOS 249 Base 56. (As long as you change the game settings to use an IOS that's 57 based

)

I noticed the new loading screen too. Maybe Benjay and other's who make forwarders can remove the loading screens from their forwarders so there's no overkill? (Just a suggestion!)

I'm the one who made that new loading screen

Removing the loading screen of our forwarders could be done , but then you would get a black screen instead , and i prefer to let people now that something is happening , rather than let them believe it's freezed , because of the black screen.

PS : sorry for the strange syntax of my previous sentence , don't know if you see what i mean lol , but i'm a bit tired tonight and it's hard to find the good words....

No I understand. I just thought removing the extra loading screen would speed things up. Very nice new loading screen BTW.

thx!
all things considered, is the preferred wiiflow set up to use wiiflow249 and cIOS249v20[56]?

I'd like to hear the opinions of a couple ppl if possible! Thx!

Can't believe no one answered you «, lol

To be honest, i'd advise you 19b57....flow is smoother and you virtually load everything except guitar games.
The other setup, 20b56 is nice too..however rev20 kinda slows the flow (imo)....so i got with first option...

I suppose I'll throw my 2 cents in too. Myself I use 249 19b38, and have 20b56 installed to 250. Use all music games through my 250 slot then because it can read DLC on SDHC cards. I know I could do away with that if I had 20b56 installed to 249, but I like the silky smooth flow of 19.

Actually the coverflow in cios20 has been smoothed out so its no really sluggish now. Yes the recommended cios 249 is 20b base 56, and 57 in 250, if you ask me. As for the shaky please wait im gonna fix that in a minute, it was a last minute change to try and clear up the freezing issue.

@Benjay, thanks for the reply.

Since my post, I've played around with MMM 13.4 and found that I've a number of CIOS' installed - I'm a n00b so I guess that occurred using IOS236 installer online via NUS.

Anyways, I've got Waninkoko's CIOS249 v17 and 250 v65535 - I've tried both with Wiiflow (with their matching boot.dols), with same (no), result.

I notice whenever I boot up I'm on IOS61 v4890 - is this normal?

I also have CIOS236 v 65535

If you do not use triiforce, try updating to wanins ciosx rev19

@ Spidy1000, I installed rev 19 and with the new version of Wiiflow it worked!! woot!

Many thanks.

I'm going to go through all my games tonight and see if they all work.

Just one question? does the .bca file for NSMB go in /wbfs with all the games or elsewhere.

Also am planning to use Gecko OS to update IOS for 4.1+games but is there anything else (save me downloading it), can MMM do it?

Final question, is there a forwarder for the latest wiiflow somewhere on this site?

cheers,

Edit: Just tried SMG2 and Epic Mickey - no need to update anything, latest revs work like magic. Thanks r-win, mugotu and all who helped.

In /wiiflow/codes/bca, I think. You can always check wiiflow.ini for the correct path.

Just for info, it looks like the latest libogc can crash if started with two wiimotes turned on.

You need to use ciosx 222, 223 or 224. I'm not sure about the base ios, but I think it's confirmed working with 37 or 38. Wiiflow will automatically switch port.

 

[kylster]

how come my titlesdump.ini and wiiflow.ini files does not display all my wii games?

I have Wii, VC, WiiWare games on a HDD and only some of the Wii games show up under WiiflowConfigurator. Am i doing something wrong cause i would like to put these in catagories w/o having to do every single one from the wii.

I'm really digging the latest release. It has frozen a couple times but that was when I was powering up and down a lot testing, hasn't had too many problems during actual use. On another note, have you ever thought about adding an option to hide the delete button in the wiiflow.ini? I know it does this if you activate the parental code, but I like being able to switch options for individual games without needing to enter a passcode. Keep up the great work!

titlesdump.ini isn't created anymore, I think. Wiiflow.ini doesn't contain any games. My bet is that you didn't start fresh...

Removing the splash screen from a forwarder won't make it load faster.
The splashscreen is displayed during the loading time.
There may be 0.1 sec more to load the picture , but not more.

Yikes! That kills my program. Anyway to add that back? How else can an external program get access to the game list?

It could scan the wbfs directory?

Some small issues where found, including a video glitch in the wait animation. Therefor, revision 304 is uploaded as the new RC 1. Thanks go to mugotu for fixing these issues.

As always, you can get it HERE.

Also, we'll be adding a new 2.2 pack in the next 30 minutes, with 11 (ELEVEN!) themes. Be sure to check out our new themes: Orchid (by Benjay and Jiiwah), Chriistmas (by Kovani) and the Black and White theme (by Drexyl).

Be sure to check those themes out, and give thanks to those creators! A lot of time was spent creating these awesome themes! Also, be sure to check the wiki and download the music for the Chriistmas theme.
