Fix turned 18 finally and set up a Paypal donation finally ! He works very hard and puts up with alot of shit from people on irc for demanding changes. Please send him some money ! Wiiflow ROCKS!!!!

http://code.google.c...en-wiiflow-mod/

has the Paypal link.

Also the best and current source of info can always be gained on IRC server irc.abjects.net in channel #Wiiflow. Fix and other Devs are always available for custom help.. Since 90% of Wii users know jack about compiling they are always posting up to date boot.dol and updated tutorials. They are amazing !

p.s. Fledge why dont you stay on IRC since you know alot about emulators

how do you get the full cover display? i just added and renamed everything only to have it not display front and back, its over spread over the front.
 
@Fix94 - happy birthday! ahh to be 18 again. :)

@Brenry - I don't stay on IRC because I'm 43 and a family man. I have 3 kids and a wife and a job and all want attention and take up time. Sometimes the kids are on the wii and i can't test things and other times my wife is on the pc. anyways it's basically because of the lack of free time I get.

sounds like you put them in the wrong cover folder. I believe they should go in wiiflow/boxcovers. wiiflow/covers is for 2d flat front covers only.
 
I know this is probably stupid but someone once asked on this forum about a theme which had it in a dvd case style of browsing, i made one just now today and felt like sharing it with you all if you'd like to use it. If you go left it will take the bottom game and if you go right it will take the top game from the list.

Here are two screenshots. Showing how it looks

okay, as of r304 you can now use the '1' and '2' buttons in emuflow and brewflow to change layouts. You can have up to 15 for each flow although that seems a little insane and may hog your wii's memory.

Notes for theme makers and editors:

1. if your theme has 7 coverflow layouts it should also have 7 for the other two flows otherwise cycling thru layouts with the 1 and 2 buttons in those other flows will be missing layouts and things may not show up right on screen.

2. the smallbox option in wiiflow.ini seems to act a little querkie. if it gives you trouble - basically all it does is rescale the cover which is one of the options in 'adjust coverflow' on config page 2. once there cycle thru till you find cover scale and at the bottom should be "left_scale, center_scale, right_scale, row_center_scale". adjust the 3 buttons under each one going down to read the following.

reg size box = 1, 1, 1
emu size box = 1, 0.5, 1
brew size box = 0.667, 0.25, 1

i've made two new default.ini files which include brewflow and emuflow. the first one contains smallboxes for brewflow and regular for the others. the second one contains smallboxes for brewflow and emuflow. here they are:

I'm sure abdallahterro will be making more. as for the themes i update I may be updating them soon give me time. I know - not another update right? but at least they are getting updated.
so enjoy and have fun. :)
 
On another note, a minor feature change request :
When I press on the favorite icon for a specific game to go to the categories assignation for that particular game (Great feature by the way) and then press the (Back) button it goes back to the selected game
BUT
When I hit the button instead of the (Back) button it takes me all the way back to coverflow.

When going from game to game assigning categories it's nice to be able to press (Back) and be able to scroll to the next game and then be just one button press away from assigning the next game's categories. When I accidentally hit instead it adds another button press to get back into the next game.
It would be NICE if both the and (Back) buttons did the same thing.
 
I feel that an extra option could be to delete all game covers in the wiiflow download menu, this would provide users with the wrong covers as some may have french or any other country instead of english.

Is there any way to disable rumble in the latest Wiiflow versions?I can not find the rumble option in the settings anymore... :-(
 
If I use 3rd party classic controller I have several crash (Code Dump) in Wiiflow-mode any way to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

PS: I have issues in HBC too whit 3rd party classic controller.
 
have a wierd problem when launching games using dml-1.3. my disc light stays very active. (blinking/flashing as if they are strobe lights.) while playing.
although this is kinda cool, it's not good for my wifes health.( prone to siezers). they don't due this when i launch the games from the dml channel. just while using wiiflow.
( v 280.). the only games i have an use with dml, are NFS underground series, an battle cry.(robotech) an zeld ww. an how do i get the newer covers to load? i just set coverflow up. an if i need to delete an redo then so be it. but is there a different file i need to delete? ( this is of course in dml.)
