I'd like to know if there is a detailed breakdown of all the features and functions in Wiiflow. I can't seem to find all the info I'm looking for. Considering making a user manual for Wiiflow.

How about being able to sync wiimotes within Wiiflow? Can we have that, at least?

there is no way todo that in ANY homebrew whatsoever. Also if you didnt know I work alot on nintendont right now so I dont do that much on wiiflow right now. If you dont know I tried working on bluetooth already on nintendont and I was at a point where I noticed that there is _not even a handler_ for the sync button so there is no information whatsoever on what to do when you press it, so dont expect that in a LONG time, the whole bluetooth code is really confusing overall thats why nintendont doesnt have bluetooth right now.

While we got you here, just a hypothetical...is it a giant feat to add something like a cloud emunand? like make it part of the startup routine. check the SMB share containing the backup saves and compare it to the USB or SD emunand and copy only the newer files? since you have ftp coded in there, i assume there is some network code already similar to this.

my kid erased some save data (like my perfect game in Wii bowling :blink:) luckily i made a back up once with showmiiwads and restored from it. i know you are busy i'm not asking for it, i actually wouldn't mind taking a peek at the stuff to see if its copy pastable code, i just want to know what you think about the difficulty.

just in case i didn't explain well -
Wiiflow starts -> checks SMB for save data -> compares to save data on USB or SD -> copies data to SMB if USB or SD is newer.

OverjoY Til now, I've only used neek2o for certain wiiware games, since I wasn't able to get gamecube games to boot. Now I'm fiddling around with it again, and still having the same problems. I grabbed a fresh setup from modmii, set up the emunand. I can boot gamecube games from the Neek overlay menu, but when I try the same game from wiiflow in neek mode, it says Fatal error apploader size is zero. What do I need to do to boot gamecube games from wiiflow in neek mode?

Hi, I'm Seanbb
Congratulations for this beautiful app!
I just updated my wiiflow at the latest build.
Now there are some new features.
But I have some questions...
- Can I play at GC games without installing Dm? I cannot select the GC mod at the source screen. (when I click on the GC button appear the word "exit")
- Can wiiflow chooses mios in Automatic before playing?

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

You can play gamecube via nintendont or devolution without installing an MIOS. Wiiflow can auto choose the MIOS to install, check out Abz Masterpiece pack, google is your friend there.

One thing is seriously driving me away from this, and that is cheats limit.
You can only choose from 25 codes even if the text file has more, and only the first 25 appear, leaving a huge part of the txt out of it.

If I select the nintendont mode for playing at gc games Wiiflow needs the nintendont in the "apps" folder?

Aren't you a bit over reacting?

yes device:/apps/nintendont/boot.dol
Thanks
Now My Gc games works but wiiflow auto install DM.wad before the loading.
I choose the nintendont mode but wiiflow prefers DM.

Why I cannot launch games from Wiiflow using nintendonts?

PS: Nintendont works alone (HBC)

Did you change the setting for the game?

Either change the default setting to Nintendont and leave the game setting to default OR leave the default setting to something else and change just the game setting to Nintendont.

I normally leave my default to Auto MIOS and change the individual game setting to Nintendont as I prefer Dios Mios but Nintendont is slowly trying to become my default launcher!

The only reason I would need that many cheats would be to play Project M ( or other smash mods) through WiiFlow with USB loading which isn't recommended anyway. Just use WiiFlow to play most games when u want to use cheats. I can't imagine having to play every game with 25+ cheats.

Yeah I know that 25 cheats at the same time is a bit too much, but when you need that many for games like Project M, and also some cheats have "chains" to them (that means you must activate 2 or 3 before the one you want for it to activate properly), the codes stack up and that gets annoying XD.

I will try creating dfferent txt files or reducing the codes to only those I use the most.

Now I can play my Gc games with no problems.
