Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[shortz1994]

@ fix94. do you have an uncompressed dol for your version of wiiflow? i remember at one point you said you were not using that set up on the dol. but not sure if that changed or not.
if there are user that want to use crapp with this app. i finally figured out how to add the dol.s to the xml to get it working for crating the channels. still not sure if that is needed. but i can add the newer version to it so people can make the channels for this loader again.(*still not sure if it's broken though).cause it also makes the emulator channels for the games to.
trying to get dml added so people can do those. but not sure if there is a "loader" but can try to see if it will do it through wiiflow using dml.

Figured it out why the emu's wern't shoing up. I deleted all the config files in apps/wiiflow and wiiflow/settings folders, and the cach folder. Then the stuff showed up. I think a usefull addition to wiiflow would be script that flushes the cach and settings and rescans your drives. Thanks.

Fix never compressed his dols. Mugato did in the past but said he would stop compressing his. I don't know if that happened.

that's why i was asking, cause i remeber some thing about it being compressed at one point ,then fix94 went back to the older non compressed version of the dol.
an just want to make sure that the dol is in the same state.(non compressed). cause if thats the case then it will be easy to add the new dol for this to crapp.
just wasn't sure cause of the limit the dol has on space when adding newer features.(dml, emulators.)
thanks boston bc.

I tested adjust coverflow in Homebrew mode using Carbonik theme and it worked fine too.
Thanks

yes they work fine for me too. the only problem i had is I had previously been playing around with the 1 and 2 buttons before I did the fix so homebrew last coverflow was set on a 3 in the wiiflwo.ini. I finally figured it out that I had to manually set that to 1 and now everything works fine.

Is the Emu mode adjust coverflow working too?
I see no covers to adjust in front view, backview works fine though!

yes but probably not when using a theme. if you are using a theme i would save your default theme which will create the emuflow and brewflow in the default.ini and then just copy and paste those over to your theme.ini files. Or just wait - I'm going to post updated themes later today hopefully.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Ok thanks Fledge are you fixing the Emulator icon in themes too?

 

[shortz1994]

so finally after leaving wiiflow.(a year ago) i'm back.. an just so people know, if they don't already, wgsc does work with the wiiflow mod,(yea less work for me.) so going back to getting it to load on neek2o for me. though i don't use dml i will still work on that also if people want to have that done, but neek2o is first.(a little easier cause it reads wbf).
love the fact so far wiiflow has yet to crash( 8hrs yesterday, an so far 6hrs today.)..

This may be my last edit for wiiflow logo (800x600) this time:
Hope u like it

 

[Hunter X]

@[member='AbdallahTerro'], don't take this the wrong way, but your logos suck. You're overdoing it by going for 3D effects and all that jazz. Stick with something flat like the original logo or pepxl's logo.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

No prob. Hunter, Just doing it for Phun. I like the colors though

cool , isnt it?

If you have followed things we pretty much collectively agreed to not disparage each others work. I think the advances on each side will help the community in general so that kind of trolling, looking for a reaction isn't very cool. There are still a few nasty/stupid posts going up and I really wish it would stop.

I have been following things between the two threads. an still think it is a childish move, to start a whole new thread for what "nonadvance features". if mugoto agreed to let things between fix94 an him go. then why not just add an advance button to this wiiflow? why start a thread? with a new/old wiiflow. i give a lot of credit/respect to fix94 for what he has done with this loader. look at how mugoto acted when mastershoes was trying to help with covers for "his" loader. all that hard work that goes into doing covers. a nother great artist trying to help. so anyway enough b.s out of me, going back to GX.

And exactly how did he act, he was quick to reply that he wasn't being snappy and that he was clearly putting an emphasis on "proper" sizes which were yet to be determined, and also clearly explained that he was not going to get ahead of himself at that time and once he was ready to implement the changes he would communicate with him.

LMAO, Damn some people are harsh with their criticism, you know 'graphically challenged", "Bap", "plain ol' no good" might be more politically correct terms

The colors are fine, just the 3D-ness and the shine/gloss doesn't quite agree with the whole image.

I know I said I would have them ready today but I've ran into a problem with my wiiflow. having a lot of dsi exception errors. I think something got corrupted so i decided to erase everything and start over. Will try to post them tomorrow.

Simple question, since the emulators implementation doesn't seem nintendo specific now (Scummvm, Sega) : Is the goal to implement all emulators ? I mean even the less known or popular systems like Amstrad, Atari ST, Intellivision ?
If it's the case, it's great but a huge task. It's just about 30 emulators to modify and their possible future revisions (Genplus-gx), but, well ok Wii's almost over.
Anyway, thanks to all devs implied here and on the advanced one.

 

[shortz1994]

icon i use now for HB. simple an lets people know, dml is part of it.

I found the problem of return.
My config : Wiiflow, plugins and emuls are all on USB1.
WiiFlowLoader.dol work only if i copy my apps/wiiflow/ folder on my SD card.
So, WiiFlowLoader found only Wiiflow on SD, not USB.

Thanks, this helped me out!... by putting a copy of my apps/wiiflow folder on the SD card, Genplus and Wii64 are now exiting back to the 'Flo! Hopefully this'll get adjusted to work on usb, but in the mean time, happy to have these 2 working!
