Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[bostonBC]

I am having one hell of a time getting Wiiflow to work.

I tried one of the betas on the front page and it won't rip games.

The releases I find on the google site just sends me to a black screen. Help?

Try searching for 'wiiflow r355 download'. In my experience that is a very stable version.

I am having trouble running COD Black Ops under d2xv6 (base 57) with r411 or 410 running on d2xv6 (base 56). If I launch it from the Homebrew Channel or one of the new forwarders it fails with a 'Disk_SetUSB' failed message. I've tried it with d2x v5 alpha 5 as well with the same results.

I even tried it with rev20/rev21 base 57 with the exact same problem.

Any ideas? I would really like to use the new r410/411 but need COD.

Thanks!

3AM update ...

I spent some time checking older versions and I found I had to go all the way back to r355 to get COD black ops working. r374 and r388 crashed when launching COD black ops.

I think I am going to have to stick with r355 for now until this is resolved.

You need to be using the fixed d2x v7 alpha5 cIOS if you want to use v410 or v411. Same place you find v410/11 you will also find a link to a package of wads to install d2x v7 alpha5.

I'm having trouble with the forwarder since upgrading to r411. It just crashes back to the Wii menu. I tried grabbing the new one off the site, and it still does the same thing. I tired going back to r355 and it still does it. Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks, I finally figured it out. I had an older forwarder installed in addition to the newer one. Looks like it was trying to launch the old one on exiting a game and that is what crashed it. When I deleted the old forwarder channel it all started working together nicely.

you will probably need to upgrade you cIOS too, install the d2x v7 fixed wad pack that can be found on the wiki, also make sure to delete your wiiflow.ini and gameconfig ini files and delete the content of your /wiiflow/cache/lists folder. Also delete the wdm directory in the /wiiflow/codes dir.
Make sure to delete your old forwarder. I hope you have the newest forwarder installed from the wiki (the one with code DWFA)

And make sure you have IOS58 installed

Thanks. I've already tried all that and it's a no go. I even tried completely deleting both Wiiflow folders (in the root and in apps) and doing a fresh install. I deleted the forwarder and installed fresh. Same thing. I'm at my wits end. Wiiflow works fine through the Homebrew Channel, but the forwarder crashes back to the system menu every time.

Seems it's not just Wiiflow. See topic:

Wii game backups load great for me (WBFS partition) although I can't seem to get wiiflow to load stuff off my emulated nand (FAT32 partition). i should point out it's in a folder on the root of the drive called "NAND". Uloader and Mighty Channels will load the VC/Wiiware fine. I've tried defining the path in the wiiflow.ini file but must be doing something wrong. When I press "B" on the channels icon I get "Couldn't find any games" (or something like that) followed by a chance to install some or select a partition. In the ini file I've tried path=\NAND, path=/NAND, path=usb2:/NAND with the same result. If I don't specify a path at all it just shows a couple of apps I have on the FAT32 partition... any help is appreciated.

add an extra slash at the end: "/nand/"

Hey guys,

having problem with saving covers.
i have about 15 games on the disk, but when i downloading covers nothing happens.
i have a internet connection,
i have two partions on my 500 gig disk.
first is a fat32 partition, thats wher the programs standing, second partition is a wbfs partition, where the games a stored.
i use a channel forwarder and the latest 2.2 version.

thnx for the help

Does the NAND emu, work with the same folder that Uloader use? Or should i make i dump with botmii and then extract it with ShowMiiWads?
I asked this cuz i would love to use Wiiflow with the DLC from Just Dance 2 and see if work better than Uloader.
Thanks for ur hard work.

Guys,just a question.

Is it possible for Wiiflow to see SD card's VC/Wiiware games?Is something like this in a to-do list?

 

[hybridLearner]

As far as I know I don't think sd card reading is slated. The newer revs have emunand capability that allows you to install them to usb and run them from there.

Not as installed channels, but emunand is possible from SD

Can't help but wonder what's going on with wiiflow these days. Even the dev channel has no commits since the 10th. And r411 is buggy to say the least.

I haven't had any problems with r411 once I understood it had to be paired with d2xv7a5 and a new forwarder channel. What kind of issues are you seeing?
