Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[Wiimpathy]

A USB keybord did the trick
Thanks again

I guess you didn't manage to launch the game. If you see this message : How many files(0-15)?, it means your game's rom is bad.
You can check if the game is inserted by opening the emulator's menu (pointing wiimote on screen and press +). Go to "DISK" tab (don't copy kanji1.rom, kanji2.rom for English menu!), if below DRIVE [1;] there's only "< EMPTY >" written, it's a wrong game rom.
You won't need a keyboard if the game is in a good format.

Some games require another Basic Mode too. For instance Punch Ball Mario Bros. only starts on N88 V1S. I should have made it the default one in quasi88.cfg but now it's too late. This option is in the RESET tab.

So, in short, find another game!

Looking a little more into the differences between NEStopia and QuickNES, I wanted to ask that you reconsider removing NESTopia, since it's the only plugin that has Famicom Disk System support. I started using it exclusively to launch FDS games which are neat, and since you're masterpiece is aiming to hit as many consoles as possible with your source menu setup, I don't think you want to alienate being able to launch games which are emulated well Let me know what you think.

Is it just me or doesn't FCEUGX play FDS roms like a breeze? I haven't found any reason to have any other NES emulator but that....correct me please

NEStopia and for that matter FCEU-mm are much more accurate emulators. FCEU-GX is not my new emu of choice because its plagued with frameskipping, audio bugs and palette issues amongst other things.

cool, never even gave them a try as everything loads up in FCEUGX...ill d/l nestopia and give it a go. thanks

You wouldn't happen to have a link to most recent releases of both these would ya?

Tij it's part of RetroArch, there's a thread in emulation and homebrew, get it you won't regret it. Not as fancy a GUI, but the name of the game is functionality and full speed emulation.

Accidental mobile double post. Delete please!

Stupid fucking Opera Mini + iPhone POS are pissing me off, holy crap my bad please delete this case of triple posting BS. Thanks.

Thanks got it to try... did a little searching, anyone have a forewarder for this?

edit- n/m found it, it would have helped if I spelled forwarder correctly!

I have a strange issue with the latest carbonik theme and I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem

when using that theme - when I try to launch a wii game I see the wait message animation and then it disappears and I never see the loading bar and eventually wiiflow stops and restarts. this only happens when using that theme and I try many games. I did an sd log but the only difference is the amount of mem1 and mem2 free which strangely the one that crashed gives a higher amount of free mem1 and mem2

Now that you mention it, on my playthrough of the original Metroid I was quite a ways along before accidentally doing some button combination that involved the GC C-stick and all of the sudden a couple of enemies started spitting fire like they were supposed to so the game was probably considerably easier for me before that because of that emulation glitch.

Speaking of glitches, anyone know which SNES emulators play Mario Kart with correct collision detection so that I don't end up passing through walls? SNES9x GX definitely doesn't work for me there.

Well, you can use my mighty or neek2o plugins and have multiple INI files for each NAND you want to use. There's one way to have multiple NAND's

How do I do that? Where can I find this Mighty plugin?

A little explanation for setup, since there's no original ROM files for NAND games, it needs to see a file that just starts with the 4-digit GameID for each game you want to show up. (0 byte files are fine)
In the download I've included a little java app to automatically make one for every NAND game that WiiFlow has ever seen on your Wii. If you've already had WiiFlow browse through all the emuNAND's you want to add games from you could always use the app and then just delete the ones you don't have anymore and/or separate them out into different folders corresponding to the different emuNAND's and have a different plugin INI pointing to each one ... OR you could make the files manually, your choice. The emuNAND path is part of the arguments= line in the INI file. You'll have to set each one to the path of the emuNAND it's supposed to point to.

FIX94 Is there still no way to set Dios-Mios as your default GC loader if you have devo's Loader.bin in dev://wiiflow? I have over 100 1:1 copies of GC games and I only use Devo for a handful of Audio Streaming games that I own, and went and re-bought lol.

Anyway most of my collection I like to compress/trim with DMT and use DM, changing the loader in the game settings for each and every game is annoying. Just thought it would be good to have a global option. If there is one, and I somehow skipped an option let me know

 

[Etheboss]

OMG! where is your sig maxternal?

For romdir set it to usb:/nands/pln2o...is that correct?

THANK YOU!!!

 

[MassiveRican]

THANK YOU!!!

I take it you had mentioned this before, but I haven't solved anything so no need to thank me lol. If fledge68 or fix94 decide to commit a change then we can graciously thank them.

I'll test this out later today or as soon as I get a chance, I actually don't remember launching a game with this theme.

Maxternal I have 2 more e-NAND's I'd like to access through WiiFlow. Sometime tomorrow night I should have some more time to test your plugins. Have you had a chance to try them out? If all works as intended, this is a fantastic workaround if on-the-fly NAND switching isn't feasible. Also which plugin would you recommend works best, neek2o plugin or mighty channels plugin? Finally what are the major differences?

I mentioned it to Fix94 as soon as devo was added, but he insisted that if I wanted dm set as default, all I had to do was remove devo loader.bin. It's just nice to know that I'm not alone on this. Maybe now that it's been echoed by someone more -popular-(?) he might reconsider
