Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[FIX94]

I think I found a bug in r998. Before reporting this I did a fresh install to be sure. Still there.

you are totally correct with this one, I'll see what I can do.

 

[FIX94]

http://fix94.no-ip.org/boot.dol

I think I found a bug in r998. Before reporting this I did a fresh install to be sure. Still there.

There is a memory issue in the source menu for the plugins. It will not let you have different plugins on separate devices (ex. N64 on USB1 and NES games on SD) Changing 1 changes all of the plugins to the same partition. It seems to only effect the plugins. Wii/Gamecube/NAND/Homebrew works fine.

Last version I have used where it works is 988. Haven't tested anything in between yet.

Anyone else having this problem or know why it's doing this?

Edit: Did some more testing
r990 - Working
r991 - Broken
Probably due to:
-updated source menu stuff and added a new option to enable/disable multiple
source selections in the startup settings, disabled by default
-enabled b on mode selection to open up source menu by default

I tried changing "multisource=no to yes" under [General] in the wiiflow.ini but it's still not working.

Maybe I'm missing something? Not exactly sure what the multisource=yes even does.

here's the correct patch file (diff) if Fix's doesn't work since it was removed in r991 for some reason.

Tested and working again! Holy crap 4.2!
Can't wait! Thanks Fix94!

Are those changes in r999?

Are those changes in r999?

no, fledge68 was providing a patch file in case Fix94's dol did not work for multi source selection. r999 covers theme related enhancements for user labels and such.

Thanks, I'll wait for 1000

Is there a way to have gamecubes set up on SD for dios mios lite, but still show up in the usb coverflow, via dummy files or something?

I think I found a bug. Using 999. It seems that when you read text documents in file explorer, the text will randomly not show. Sometimes if you then view the help guide, then try again, it will fix it, other times, it's the other way around. I also noticed some weird text anomalies when in file browser. I read my dios-mios-booter.ini and the first time at the bottom after
wait_for_debugger=no
there was a single h on the next line.
The second time, the word "color" appeared.
Now, it's showing
</descriptor>

oh yea if they are still testers out there not in irc:
http://fix94.no-ip.org/WiiFlow_4.2pre3.zip
if everything is fine in this dol its 4.2, it a bug check would be great.

I recently installed Dios Mios and am trying to run it through Wiiflow. I keep getting error "apploader size is zero!" or something like that. Some people say it could be a bad ISO dump, but I was able to play them through Devolution before, just now want to use Wiiflow for GameCube game cheats... Anything I can do? Please help...

Hey everyone, finally its time again for a release here!
Now we do move up to 4.2 because of all the big additions to wiiflow!
The main new features are
-a FTP Server
-a File Explorer
-a Language Downloader
-a Path Selector for both wiiflow paths and Emulated NAND paths
-a custom banner downloader
-a WAD Installer for Emu NAND Channels
-an automated MIOS installer for different GC games
-a new Source Menu feature to select multiple coverflows to display at the same time
I hope that includes most of the important changes.
You can find the FTP Server and File Explorer in the Home Menu of WiiFlow
The WAD Installer is used via the File Explorer, you can also uninstall Channels now from your Emu NAND using the same way as for every other game
The Language Downloader is located in the general settings as well as the Path Selectors
The custom banner downloader are in the per-game settings, mainly downloading GC banners
To use the automated MIOS installation just use the new "mios" folder in your wiiflow main folder, copy in dm.wad for diosmios, dml.wad for diosmios lite, qfusb.wad for quadforce usb, qfsd.wad for quadforce sd and mios.wad for the regular mios, the wads you need to copy in depend on your personal usage
To use the new Source Menu features just go into the startup settings and enable Multisource, you can use the + button to select more than one source then.
WiiFlow now also has full compatibility to UStealth, a tool to hide your HDD from the WiiU question if you want to format it, check out gbatemp.net/threads/352786 for more details about that tool.
now this is just the list of big things, yet again they are alot of smaller additions and as always bugfixes, cleanups and speedups.
To find out more about the new release you can join the irc channel #wiiflow on irc.abjects.net or just go to the gbatemp.net wiiflow thread and just ask what you want to ask.
Thanks to everyone still supporting the project, especially to fledge68, Ayatus, mamule and all the beta testers and contributors behind the scenes!
Have Fun!

Download is as always over on google code.

WiiFlow 4.2.0 (aka r1000 - r1001!)) alternate wait animation -

http://www.mediafire.com/download/s37c2ri0r2nhf7g/boot.dol

EDIT:Fixed The Aspect Ratio and Updated to r1001
And Thanks MassiveR

 

[MassiveRican]

spacepimp that's a pretty neat wait animation u got there bud. Good one.

FIX94 and the rest of the WiiFlow team, congratulations on r1000 guys. All that's left are a few minor optimizations and tweaks, updated themes (In the Works), and if all goes well a FlowMart release (Sadly delayed due to real life issues) to go alongside 4.2.1 and I'll be in FlowHead heaven.

Can Wiiflow 4.2 work on Wii U? Also if I go through Dios Mios for GameCube games, what controllers are supported?

Wiiflow 4.2 should work on the WiiU, but Dios MIOS will not.

To use the automated MIOS installation just use the new "mios" folder in your wiiflow main folder, copy in dm.wad for diosmios, dml.wad for diosmios lite, qfusb.wad for quadforce usb, qfsd.wad for quadforce sd and mios.wad for the regular mios

Nice work, guys, as always.
A question here : When is the "mios.wad" file used? Is it for loading GC games from the disk slot? (In which case, I'd personally have to consider using a DVD-R compatible cMIOS WAD here ... having a Wii that's actually capable of reading them.)

Also, when I get home, should I try getting this through the internal update feature (is it working again) or would I just have to download and instal manually (It's been a while since I've updated TBH.)

 

[Skeet1983]

I am getting a Y split power adapter for my USB HDD tomorrow so I can use the HDD with my Wii U. For GameCube games, what do I need to download for Wiiflow using Devolution since Dios Mios is not compatable with Wii U yet?

yea, wiiflow uses the mios.wad as soon as you start a gc disc, and yep you can use a cmios just fine for burned dvds.

Also, when I get home, should I try getting this through the internal update feature (is it working again) or would I just have to download and instal manually (It's been a while since I've updated TBH.)

Download it from google code, internal updates are still not available.
