It should launch 800 & 5200. For 5200, I tried my best to simplify. When it detects .a52 files, only 5200 carts types will be displayed.
You still have to select which type of cart, one chip/two chips etc...
There are so many machines and type of games (tapes/cartridges/disks), it's hard to make this shit simple and rather automatic.
Right now, no tapes support (.cas). Well, it ain't so bad I guess (it's too damn hot here!).
Fortunately, my little plugin saga will end soon...

and my bios search saga too :)

Edit: What Emus are still on the todo list
I have these, though fba_mame is still unreleased:
Acorn 4143524e

BBC Micro 4242434d
To be honest, I tried to make a quick build/port and ... no luck. It pisses me off cause I played on this computer with a friend in Exeter (Hello Robert!). Chucky egg and Elite, good memories. Any help here?
fba_mame 4D414D45
W.I.P. I compiled it (in a ugly way maybe?!) and the result is ??!!. I really hope they'll get Mortal Kombat and Nba Jam
working, but right now we have to wait. Nothing in github since 1 month. Well, we'll see...
neocd 4E474344
Not sure to have the will and patience to do this.
VIC-20 56494320
No Vic-20 port either. But who knows?

You can add Neko project to the list.
Some unfinished "obscure" ports lies in my computer so maybe one day I'll try release them too.

Thats a good idea Abz but there are certain people that don't seem to want me adding any more to wiiflow and I have a feeling Fix94 is getting worried about the size of wiiflow

hmm Again how many times have i asked you to be on irc before changing anything ??????
seems like your more up to gain famous on this site.. right ?

Sorry nibb i'm not into IRC that much. Based on the reactions I get you guys would pretty much reject everything anyway. as an example - if you were a rock star would you go somewhere to get booed or would you rather go where your fans are?

by the way Abz has asked me to add a lot of things and most of the time I turn him down because I have a feeling it hasn't been approved and I don't want to offend anyone.

how so nibb? is there something you do want added to wiiflow or would you actually approve of me adding to wiiflow. if you got a good reason or need I'd be happy to listen even on irc but I don't want to go there and get bitched at.

You know it's fairly easy to make a chat right here through temp by invite only if you don't want to chat on IRC and need a little private session between the devs, themers, old school wiiflow'ers & yourself. I would hope that everyone is mature enough as to not attack you anyway if you do go on IRC, it's all about communicating ideas and concepts right, no need for bitching just understanding.

BTW fledge68 did you ever get a hold of spidy1000 for the trailers?

hum...
i think there is a bug in [FEXPLORER] page
Jul-19-2013-22h20m06s.png


look at left/top, there remain traces of [EXPLORER/ENTRY_0]

and the [EXPLORER/ENTRY...] are always aviable, even if they are not displayed.

I promise, I do not have 3 wiiflow folder in the syscheck folder
yes mamule I saw that too. but it only happens when I use the carbonik theme but that doesn't mean its your theme - it means there something weird wrong with wiiflow.

edit: and yes thank you for pointing out that the entries are still there just without text. I can't believe no one else noticed that.

    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
