Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[fledge68]

Hey MassiveRican, thanks for your response. 4.0.3 r433. is what I have now. I tried the new 4.0.4 beta FIX posted awhile ago, but I'm having problems with missing buttons and it not wanting to let me select which channel I want to exit to when I leave WF. Also the background is acting funny.. like everytime I do some action, it shrinks down then back to normal. If you may know a solution to any of this, please let me know. Again thanks.

I noticed the shrinking and growing background too - but only on the config pages whenever you click on a plus/left or minus/right button. No I don't know why but I'm sure Fix will figure it out soon (hopefully)

r433 is very old. I would try r786 which I have found works very well. You can get it from: http://www.caseyomah.com/wiiflow/

Remember to delete your wiiflow.ini and cache lists and it may also be a good idea to delete the wiiflow/settings files and have Wiiflow recreate them.

 

[MassiveRican]

I'm sure he means wiiflow-mod r773/774 or Wiiflow r433. not that old. TOW420 I'd try what bostonbc suggested, it's pretty much what I'd recommend, sometimes I've gone as far as deleting the entire cache folder if all else fails since cache can get corrupted, it's not a common occurence by any means but as I said if all else fails might as well give that a try.

 

[MassiveRican]

Thanks for letting me know everything works fine, I rewrote the list code not too long ago and now I should be able to easly change the directory where to look for gamecube games
@MassiveRican:
Could you PM me a cached banner together with a fanart which looks broken if both are used at the same time?

Ok so it seems that it's happening for all fanart now, either the banner won't show up or the fanart is corrupted. Check your PM. Still using r783. Thanks for looking into it

@Fix94, had an idea on how you could do a screensaver for wiiflow (thought you expressed interest in the idea a while back) After a set timeout, you could make wiiflow autoboot a selected dol, such as timeless or inkpoly, or if somebody wants to make something custom for wiiflow that could work too. Just a thought.

Thanks bostonBC and MassiveRican for the heads up. I will try this method out and I will let you know if it fixes anything.

Well I had the chance to try out WiiFlow-Mod r787, 786, 785 and I still get the left missing button and I can't exit a Wii game without it crashing. I deleted the cache list, settings (except custom_titles.ini) and wiiflow.ini. Any other suggestions?

Damn bro sorry to hear that, pic of the dump when exiting might help. Maybe fix94 will have a clue?

When in doubt, clean install.
You don't have to delete everything, just move wiiflow and apps/wiiflow elsewhere and test again. At least you'll have a clearer idea then.

Just a couple of questions:
a) is it possible to use the fanart function on emulator-plugin games?
b) is there a way to hide games?

a- unlikely
b-yes - add to a category and mark it as "x" works in all modes

I think I'm gonna do that and see what's good. bostonBC replied that r786 is pretty good so I think I'll start there. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[ToddofWar420]

My bad. I didn't mean to double post again.

I've been working on the droidflow theme and lately I've been having a problem with things like the source menu icons randomly disappearing, noticeable lag in coverflow edit mode when pointer is on screen, covers showing up and then not when using large coverflows, banner corruption and background glitching all to hell when I switch to one of my coverflows. I rebuilt droidflow over carbonik a while back, and the problems disappeared, but not they're cropping back up. Any ideas why? If it helps I can supply the theme as it is now. Could the number of flows be a factor? Each view has 12 right now, maybe if I cut that in half? The theme also has some moving parts using [USERS] which I we want to keep.

Whenever I try to install a game it goes from 1% to 100% in about 2 seconds and the game never installed.

I'm trying to copy a gamecube game to my HDD, my HDD is partitioned as USB1 being FAT32 and USB2 being NTFS, the latter for Wii games and the former for Gamecube/HBC apps.

 

[FIX94]

Gamecube games only work from FAT32, just that you know its useless to install a game to USB2. Also installation works fine, just tried it again, make sure your ini is clean and uses the default install settings.

 

[pBullet]

Yeah, I figured that out.

I found the problem, though it's a bit strange. I deleted Kirby Air Ride from my HDD to see if WiiFlow would delete it-- and it did. I then inserted my disc to rip it back to my HDD and I ran into that installing problem.

So I hooked up my HDD to my computer and guess what? I found that the folder "Kirby Air Ride [GKYE01]" still existed under /games, but it was empty. WiiFlow deleted the file, but it didn't delete the folder, apparently causing it to think I already had the game installed.

Of course I never intend on deleting from WiiFlow then reinstalling right away anytime in the future, I just wanted to test the installation procedure as all my installations were done on GX.

 

[FIX94]

AAAAH I remember, I did this to make sure that not your whole games folder gets deleted, but I forgot to add the folder deleting if its not the game folder heh, as soon as I have time I'll finally do that properly.

 

[MassiveRican]

Hmm.. is WiiFlow overdue for some DM(L) updates or art though waiting for DML 2.6 to drop?

 

[pBullet]

Okay, so a new problem that has randomly been happening now (almost all the time now) is when I load games from my GBA plugin, it loads to VBAGX properly, but it's just the home screen on a black background, and exiting the home screen to the background just keeps it black, freezing.

It's a rather strange problem, I'm going to try deleting the plugin and reinstalling it, but maybe I'm not crazy and there's some setting I missed.
