Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[luck_gh0st]

I've got the BlackWii theme also.. not sure if it's the same one or an older one.. let me apply it.. Ok it does have a music folder with Wii Menu - Primary Music.mp3 in there. I'll put an ogg or 2 in there real quick... nope no music...hmmmmm...I guess that's the fun in testing though, huh?
The BlackWii theme looked ok and I liked the big readable fonts but it screwed up my source menu. Luckily I learned long ago to never delete anything so I can put it back thanx 2 .bak and ~ and .old extensions LOL.
Still everything else is working awesome just not music or scummvm covers.

I am hoping someone can help me with this question: I want to watch TMNT (Classic) in Wiiflow via mplayer. What I need help with is how can I set up a DVD cover with all the episodes to that season in one folder? Or can that not be done yet..?? Anyways, Thanks everybody.

So what you're looking to do is run some sort of playlist file through the plugin and put a cover on just that playlist file or something? I don't know if mplayer does that. I know WiiFlow only does one file at a time so some sort of single playlist file would have to exist for that to work. IF there is one, you would just have to make the plugin INI look for the playlist file extension instead of the video file extensions.

What you COULD do is put a button on the source menu for it. Have a separate INI file in the plugin folder point to that folder and put a TMNT icon on it in the source menu folder.

Is there an option to use WiiMC or is MplayerCE better atm?

JSchloegel: Here is a round-up.

closest to a vc/ww compatibility list for wiiflow is http://wiki.gbatemp...._compatibility. At the moment plugins will not work when you run wiiflow from neek2o. In real nand plugins and neek2o won't conflict. At the moment it's a per game setting to use neek2o for starting vc/ww games in wiiflow. About c and d, partial is easier probably because you can just set it and wiiflow automatically creates the files needed to use this setting. I didn't answer any music DLC questions because i have no experience with it at all.

For some reason it wanted to include the period at the end of your sentence. http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Triiforce_v0.x_VC/WiiWare_NAND_emulation_compatibility is what it would be (if someone is trying to get there) without.

Thanks for the wrap up. I will go forth and attempt to create a setup of 1 partition, Wiiflow running off of realNAND and set for save game/partial. WW/VC installed to emuNAND, create a neek2o setup for individual games that need help. I will also explore more on the music front. Perhaps launch the music games with neek2o? At the least look into downloading to SD, then copy into fully emulated nand for those games.

Aside from keeping all the games of a system together, is there a reason to go with an emu plugin over a VC version? I would think the VC would be improved either to work better in the Wii environment or something like that. Just pondering out loud though. I think I'm done grilling you on this subject, but if I have any further questions I'll be back. ;-) One final time, thanks for your patience as I kept bugging you.

Nope, only an option to use MplayerCE for now.

[member='fix94'] is there an optimal conversion choice for ogg files?

Well, I personally just use the latest oggenc from here together with foobar2000 and its standard quality setting, and everything works perfect.

BTW, everyone who got wii game booting problems, try this dol please:

Now that you mention it, I have been having some problems. Will have to test this.

Eh?.. Looks like r637 creates the WiiFlow.ini on my SD card this time. And creates the wiiflow directory on the root of the SD as well. I still have my boot.dol on usb2... (NTFS) Far as I can tell all the Wii games I have tried seem to be working ok.. but still no ogg music (even from the newly created SD wiiflow music folder) but everything else seems ok.
