Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

titlesdump.ini isn't created anymore, I think.

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?

Doesn't work for WBFS partitions. I suppose I could switch to FAT32, but I have setup a bunch of drives with WBFS and the conversion would be quite time-consuming.

Not rly, what I did when I went from wbfs to fat32 was to use wbfmanager, transfert the games to another partition during night (when you sleep

) and transfert them back to the fat32 partition using wii backup manager 3.3b during work (or school).

There is also a library which can read WBFS partitions just fine. I'm sorry this change killed your program, but it was based on temporary (and debug) dumps. Anybody capable of compiling their own wiiflow version, can add the DEBUG define when compiling, and the dumps will get created again.

From all the wiiflow team to all its users

we value your love and support of this truly amazing usb loader. So in celebration of the coming holiday we have just released some new themes including a special Christmas theme made by our very own kovani which is up on both the wiki and the google code page also we have released wiiflow 304.

Enjoy and please continue to support this usb loader and its wonderful team.

No worries...I'll figure something out

Great job on the new builds!

@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.

This is probably off topic but I was attempting to install a forwarder as the finishing piece and read somewhere that I had to get HBC on IOS58 (it was on IOS61). I downloaded the installer, installed IOS58 no problems and then went to re-install HBC as instructed but the boot.elf did not active the HBC installer off the SD Card channels on the Wii.

I then inadvertently deleted the HBC from the Wii Channels page! (it was late), thinking I had to delete the existing version to get the boot.elf to boot.

Now I have no HBC and thus no way to launch wiiflow and still no way to re-install HBC.

What have I done and can I fix it?

I have a NAND backup but how do I launch Bootmii without HBC?

I have Priiloader installed as well but again....

Hope someone can help!

hold the reset button when you start up your wii.

I really like the way the covers flow now and the Christmas theme is a great touch!

However, I can't launch Metroid Prime Trilogy or Monster Hunter, whereas they were loading fine with the old version.
I can switch back and forth between both versions and reproduce the behavior.
What happens is that after launching the game, I can see the new WiiFlow wait screen (nice one too!) and then the Wii freezes.

Here is what I have:
- Waninkoko's cIOS rev20b, base 56, installed on slot 249 (with copy on 250)
I made sure to download the r304-249 dol.

Any clues as to what might be going on?

 

[Gaiaknight]

both games work fine here tri making all new config files and ini files

 

[themanuel]

Hey, Mi!
Yes. I did start from scratch. Now it's my head that I'm scratching.
Do you have the same cIOS?

 

[Gaiaknight]

yes im using 20b base 56 and both games load fine

 

[kylster]

how would you go about getting a copy of your titlesdump for your wii configurator? someone stated earlier i did not start fresh. well i only started using WiiFlow recently after my switch to FAT32 and while i was on WBFS the covers would cause my console to crash but it works great switching like i stated and the Crap3.3b forwarder channels run smoothing with it.

It's just seeing as i have x amount of games mostly WW VC that i run through WiiFlow now it would be helpful to give each game a category with Wiiflowconfigurator instead of through the Loader itself. It just becomes a tedious task

Google does not help me with titledump.ini

Thanks in advance even if it's just a simple do it through the Loader LoL

 

[themanuel]

OK. I'm not sure what's going on.
Now I crash when going from USB to internal channels.
I'll start from the befinning once again.

 

[themanuel]

Never mind. It's not doing it now.
I had cheated and copied over the cache files from my previous install so I'm guessing this was the problem, somehow.

Cheers to everyone.

 

[themanuel]

The problem came back by itself, although it only affects MPT at the moment.
I think I'll revert to the previous beta and hold on for the next release.

 

[kylster]

i have to admit the new wiiflow is awsome

love the Orchid theme seems professional and well rounded

the x-mas theme is good but i cant get the names of the games to show. I have alot of WW VC games that i load up with WiiFlow so some of them dont have covers and it's hard to tell which ones im playing since there is no name being displayed. Overall Great Job like i said I love the Orchid theme

 

[Haloman800]

Would someone please create a .wad of the latest WiiFlow with the default theme? I'd very much appreciate it.

As you may already know, I have released a theme called Chriistmas based off the holiday season. In my own opinion, if you really want the feel the magic of Christmas, I recommend using my extra package which includes three songs. Those files can be placed inside the music folder. Kevin MacLeod has made them, so the credit goes to him. The only thing I did is to convert those songs into ogg instead of mp3 format.

Chriistmas theme and the extra package can be download at http://www.wiiflowiki.com/customization/themes/chriistmas

There is also some pictures and a short video to give you a better idea before trying if you did not see davidnlta's post yet.

I hope you enjoy this theme as much as I had fun to make it. If you have any question, feel free to post them here or visit the WiiFlow IRC chatroom and we will gladly help you.

Merry Christmas!
