I'm gonna check out GX and CFG to see if it happens there too.. but not tonight, I need to get some sleep and I don't want any more Project Zero on my mind before bed

 

[AbdallahTerro]

this project zero 2 game is not in wiitdb.xml file at least here, haven't updated in ages though
so maybe WF is displaying the wrong info instead of not displaying anything at all

I think you're onto something, I just took a look at the XML file and Project Zero 2 is there, but there's nothing under synopsis in any language. I no longer think this is a bug This is not a bug within WiiFlow but rather a case of missing info in the XML file. Also GameTDB has no English language synopsis of the game either, although it has a synopsis in several other languages, but again nothing in the XML.

EDIT: So it seems to be a matter of just updating the EN synopsis portion in the XML file (or whatever language you want..Esperanto ) and you're all set. Just tried it myself and it's no longer copying other games info when being looked at.

I don't have the game, so can't test.
Nice it's working now

Post a Log if at all possible after you delete your wiiflow.ini. You can back up your settings folder and delete it as well, just to make sure that's not causing the problem. When WiiFlow starts up for you normally put your original settings folder back in place, if you get the DSI crash well you know something in there is the culprit.

This is the log but no issue detected:

Need some help. I had to reinstall windows, can't get devkit to work. I installed tortise (had slik before, but now I'm going by the wiki) but it acts like I didn't.

 

[papermanzero]

This is the log but no issue detected:

+ I made an completly new wiiflow installation (instructions used from the wiki page).
But it doesn't work. I always get the code dump. Tried it also on a different Wii (different USB HDD) with exactly the same result.
I really don't know what to do.

The strange thing is: With 4.0.5 it's working. No code dump, no execption...loading animation and the party is starting.

@drakorex
please make sure, that the devkit installation folder doesn't contain any space (e.g. C:\my\path\to devkit\). It should be like C:\my\path\to_devkit\
This was my issue.

Strange how it works if you go back to 4.0.5.. I'm no good at deciphering code dumps but post your dump here maybe Fix94 or Fledge68 can shed some light on the situation

Also I know it's a pain but can you try pin down which main WiiFlow rev your problem started at? e.g. try out 4.1 first, if it doesn't dump try updating again to a more recent version, if it gives you the same DSI try downgrading to 4.0.6 and see where the problem began. Also even before all that, make sure to DELETE YOUR CACHE LISTS FOLDER!, and/or rename your WiiFlow root folder to wiiflow_main or whatever and try launching WiiFlow again.

prob best you pass by the IRC for help on that one, I'm sure someone's around to help, I myself just installed devkit to C: with defaults, then used the libogc from wiiflow mod svn to compile.

Trying to compile WiiFlow for dolphin and I get this error, if anyone can help.

linking ... boot.elf
cios.o: In function `GetTMD':
c:/WiiFlow/source/loader/cios.c:46: multiple definition of `mainIOS'
alt_ios_gen.o:(.sdata.mainIOS+0x0): first defined here
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [/c/WiiFlow/boot.elf] Error 1
make[1]: *** [build] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

All I did was change defines.h as stated by r582 on SVN. I always "make clean" first then "make ios=249" so I have no idea about the multiple `mainIOS' thing it's talking about.

Here's my defines.h

Spoiler

removed due to case of being a dumbass

Disregard my idiocy, r730 clearly states "-added simple check if we are in dolphin-emu mode, no need to define something or recompile wiiflow (thanks skidau)"

 

[VashTS]

did you make sure to snag the required libs for wiiflow from the googlecode?

 

[MassiveRican]

Sure did, I compile it for Wii no prob, just trying to compile it for Dolphin now.

It would be even better if you could try Wiiflow MOD versions for trouble shooting, because official wiiflow versions have waaaay to much changes to troubleshoot efficiently.

 

[MassiveRican]

*snip* etheboss is right about using wiiflow mod revs even better. Although it might require a bit more work

 

[drakorex]

So where have Fledge and Fix been? It's been depressingly quiet lately.

 

[fledge68]

Been busy with real life but always check this forum at least once a day.

got a question that i know probably has been answered already or i can figure out on my own thru trial and error but I'm being lazy. so will the skylanders games work with wiiflow and which cios do i need to make them work with the portal?

 

[MassiveRican]

Probably stuck IRL somewhere lol. I'm sure when they have some time, more stuff will come. If i have time I'll have a small treat uploaded tonight or tomorrow nothing to do with coding though.

@Fledge68 no idea about skylanders since I don't own any of the toy figurine things.

 

[littlecubba]

recently got a new hdd and formatted to fat32 32k (mainly for my GameCube stuff)
just started to backup my original Wii games, and i get a crash dump after every attempt when it seems to reach 100%, never had this problem on NTFS...
any ideas as to why this might be happening...?

 

[MassiveRican]

^^ Screenie of dump please? same for Papermanzerro if you're still having issues.
