Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[anthonyplep]

Why does my wiiflow have such a long startup? I did a fresh install and no matter how many times I open the channel it will not load as quick as it did when I wasn't in version 4.0. Ever since 4.0 came out its been like this, I used to be able to open wiiflow, it'd load immediately and when I opened a game it loaded quickly too

With configurable USB loader, it's instant for startup and loading a game. With wiiflow I don't have a wiiflow.ini file, where should it be at? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Alright, just made a first wad installer version ready for you guys:

Just select the wiiware/vc wad, make sure you select the partition where your emu nand is located at (the folder comes via wiiflow.ini [NAND] section as usal) and press the go button

Sorry if this has been answered before, but has anyone else problems loading any r200 Devolution games?

Devolution was working perfectly via Wiiflow until rev200. (And yes,I have put the loader.bin file in the Wiiflow folder)

Any ideas?

All games must be verified again and I suggest using the same wiimote for each one. Devo now looks for the wiimote that the games are verified with before it'll boot. Maxternal if you're around, I don't suppose you could rework the controls? Right now they're all playstationey.

FIX94 awesome work! Should I expect wiiware to be deleteable now too?

I am pretty sure that I use the same wiimote that I verified the games via Wii... Strange.

Thats not added yet, uninstalling is another topic

Speaking of which, why after all this time can we still not delete homebrew as we can other games?

Tried out the WAD manager feature through the file explorer GUI, it worked nicely and quickly, thanks fix94

so... installing works on real nand too?

 

[MassiveRican]

No real NAND WAD install support as of yet.

quick question..im going to test anyway...but can i use an sd emunand for saves and a usb nand for channels?

and if this is possible, if i choose exit to neek2o, which nand will it choose?

i ask this because my emunand is borked somewhere, it will not load with neek2o, i tested with a clean nand and it works fine so i might redo my stuff.

having saves on sd is more convenient for taking to the pc for modifications. i hate having to unplug my hdd, wait for windows to recognize, scan disk, then go back to wii. takes way too long

edit: so i tested it out. it worked somewhat. played wii sports all was well. went to play another game just to be sure it was using the sd nand and got a disc error. double checked with usb loader gx and same error two different games too, ten pin alley 2 and wheres waldo. going back to usb emunand for both channels and saves. i think ill just reinstall ios and system menu to the emunand.

Would anybody be interested in writing a plugin dol that simply changes the last booted game variable in wii memory and then boots wiiflow?

So it'll work pretty much like any other plugin coverflow; you click on a cover and, after a wait, the selected source is loaded (instead of a game, obv).

AbdallahTerro, obviously your "Missing Cover" pack is the ideal source for source covers.

Currently, you would have to launch the sourceflow in the same way as you launch other plugins, which kind of defeats the object, however If the devs FIX94 OverjoY fledge68 et al. could allow it:

sourceflow could launch quickly from each different source's coverflow, it would have to be loaded alongside each coverflow and hidden, by pressing 'B' users could then simply alternate between the sets of covers*.

In addition, some method to include and exclude sources from the source flow from within wiiflow would be helpful. A multipage checkbox of every plugin is one option, perhaps launched from the settings menu or from the home menu, but this again would require agreement and assistance from the development team.

*and indeed their coverflow

Use custom_titles.ini, full breakdown at the wiki, check it out you'll find lots of answers to most of your questions.

With all the recent devo update goodness, is there any hope of getting the WiiU pro controller added to wiiflow and any of the plugins?

hey, for anybody who likes playing roms from wiiflow but hates renaming the covers to work on the roms. I made an application that does it for you.

all you need to do is browse the rom, saves, images, and boxcover folder and click start.


I'm not an expert coder so use at your own risk(the folder shouldn't contain other kind of files like images folder will also rename files that aren't images, will rename folders in directory too)

due to the fact that I have revisons, I will change the link to my page

Thanks for sharing, I'll add this to the masterpiece pack if you don't mind.

sure. It may not be perfect, so I suggest copying the folder somewhere else to try it out and see if it works

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Cool, thanks
I'll include a warning and your readme file.
Hopefully when ppl test it the bugs will get fixed.
I have no emu covers here but I might grab a dozen to try

Haha Abz rolls with nothing but custom default emu covers on his setup lol I have new Game Gear and SG-1000 covers to setup, I'll give your app a try and if it works as intended I'll hate u for not making it sooner, and saving me hours of my lifetime XD j/k I'll report back with my finding tonight.
