Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[Briken]

Hopefully someone can answer this for me and I apologize if it has been asked already. With this particular Wiiflow mod can I use two usb hard drives? For example, one for Wii games, plugins, etc. and one for movies? If so, would anyone be willing to share how they have it configured?

Now I´ve a very strange bug. Updated today to rev. 468 and updated all emus, too.
Scumm looks fine, but in every other emuflow, every game is shown 3 times. This means, the same game is listened as 3 boxes in a row. But only the first one got the cover.png.

that's how i have mine set up. too cheap to go a blow over 100$ on 1tb hard drive. i think mplayer only reads from usb1.( the same port used for my game/neek hard drive. even if i change it to usb2. mplayer just freezes. so until i find some extra moo-la i'm stuck unplugging my hard drives an switching.

Briken / Shortz1994, I know this will be implemented in d2x v9, i don't know when Davebaol is planning to release it though. Also i am not sure if the loader needs some codechange too..

To be used with rev467+ according to latest changes done by fledge.
120x90 framed (new frame) with black background to keep same looks in all themes (I updated my set along with mastershoes's) fixing the contrast issues and doing mild editing.
I also included the empty frames with transparent, white and black backgrounds in case needed for further adjutments.
If everything is cool I'll post a link tonight.

Looks great! You are fast - would have took me a few days to edit all those.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Thanks fledge, it took me 30 mins
here's the link: http://www.mediafire...0gwgzbwbabk8cyz

The frame is new but homebrew pngs are old-resized with old frame, maybe I should have changed those too - anyway the empty frame pngs are included too

It depends on which beta you got from DaveBaol, afaik it was not included yet in v9 beta rev. 49, but in a newer private beta...

Nice work man. I'm going to re-do my own set though.. a little too much outer glow added for my taste

If you'd like to flow around wiiflow rather than fiddle about with menus and checkboxes, chiggedy check out issues 75 and 76 on googlecode.

lets at least talk it through before they kill it

on sd card open the wiiflow folder .(not in apps). in the cover folder, make a folder an name it movies.(or what ever). in the plug in ini for mplayer. just put the name of the folder were it needs to be.( coverfolder=?name here?). i know i spent alsmost a whole week trying to get mine to show up. the image that finally worked for me was a 224x224. png. with the name of the movie+ format.
so lets say.. X men.divx. make sure the name matches the spelling of the movie.. like this.. xmen/ cover will be xmen.avi. or X men/ cover will be named the same way+.avi..
still would like to know how they got the bigger covers to show though..(masterjakeway/mastershoes) cause i can olny get 224x224 to show.

Shortz1994 are u certain you have the coverfolder inside of /wiiflow/boxcovers/mplayerce instead of /wiiflow/covers/mplayerce ? Seems like the only logical reason for why such small box dimensions are the only thing working for u. Unless somehow you're ini got corrupted and you'll need to start with a fresh ini and cache deletion.

Does anyone else experience this when they first start wiiflow?

Spoiler

It goes away as soon as i move the covers or if i change to a different theme. note - this doesn't happen when i use r451 or r453. Just wanted to know if it's just me or other people experience this.

Thanks for the reply.

hey i tried out your new source buttons and I like them but .... you need to make homebrew match and i agree with mastershoes the white glow has got to go. But otherwise the look good.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Mastershoes said he'll update his set, as for homebrew I'll try to fix them tomorrow

Fixed 5 icons in the 120x90 pack

get them here and replace the old ones: http://www.mediafire...35zej5lzr1tdv6a

Enjoy

sorry to sound harsh, i hope this isn't what they look like..(home brew).. those look like crap . all fuzzy an out of focus.. i like the ones from before they looked cleaner.

I'm with spacepimp on this. Wiiflow has become a little clunkier with so many new features. The B back to source would get rid of arcane button presses and be much more intuitive. Source means origin, therefore we should be able to start out there and get back to it without having to think too hard about what button to press on the controller and where to point. His source flow and folder structure idea sounds good too, and I think it would make Wiiflow easier and more fun to use. Some people are saying Wiiflow is fine the way it is, because they don't feel being bold and trying something new, but in the end, aren't all things made of pure awesomeness the result of big imaginations, innovative decisions, and the dedication and desire to make something better? Sure wiiflow is "fine the way it is" but should we be content with "good enough"? I await the day that Wiiflow is the best that it can be for everyone, and there's nothing left to improve upon. Once we have a final product, those of us that enjoy the magic of video games can actually sit down and play them, instead of always tinkering and searching for the latest updates.
