Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[Drak0rex]

EDIT^ Well NOW it works for some reason. I had to set Nand emulation to ON in the global settings and then make a new save in a game I didn't play yet. Wut da fudge? Just confirmed it again. Deleted Wiiflow.ini, checked the game settings. No page 5. Then set Nand emulation on, start a game, make a save, and come back, there it is. I'm guessing there's something in the code telling it to hide page 5 unless Nand Emulation is being used.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

I thought it's default.ini related but thanks for reporting the nand thingy
will check it now

edit I found it:

    if(CoverFlow.getHdr()->type == TYPE_WII_GAME && _checkSave(string((const char *)CoverFlow.getHdr()->id), false))
        g_numGCfPages = 5;
    else 
        g_numGCfPages = 4;

 

[AbdallahTerro]

should be fixed now
you'll always see 5 pages in wii mode with the new dol:

D-Rex, can you check it out now?

 

[Drak0rex]

That did it. Now...
Looking at gamecube settings, why not make a new page for the deflicker, or replace a lesser used option (No DVD Patch, anyone? Do we even need that anymore?)? Just thought I'd ask.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

latest 1076 mod has deflicker
adding page 5 for Gamecube mode is always an option, I just don't see we need it atm

I also fixed wiiuwide being forced with widescreen patch (donno why airline forced both)

ya ok in a minute. Only reason I said anything is because Wii U Widescreen-DM Snapshot seems like an odd combo.

not a bad combo tbh, one is for wii only the other for wiiu only

 

[Retronics]

Do any of the wiiflow mods have a wii u widescreen option for wii games just like for nintendont? My TV can only zoom on 1080p so there's no way to play 4:3 games without them being stretched. It's mainly an issue for me when playing N64 wiiware games.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

more optimization for 1076 mod and 1054 mastermod too:
*Nintendont is default loader
*GC mode always enabled
*MC Emu on by default
*B to source on by default

Edit:
Also Fixed A button not pressing in sound and video adjustment settings pages in both dols

 

[AbdallahTerro]

new update:

*Fixed USB_HID not being used as default when changed in wiiflow.ini (1076 mod)
*Fixed the nonworking update system in both mods.

I tweaked it a bit for practical purposes:

When you click update you'll always get "a new update is available"

Spoiler

then you need to press right or left button to select mod revision + 1 (1077 or 1055) in this case

Spoiler

finally hit upgrade and the file gets downloaded, extracted and wii restarts to reload

Spoiler

The revision in home menu will remain the same (1076 or 1054)
so you can update whenever new stuff is out

new dols linked in my sig

latest source patches always available in my sig too

AbdallaTerro.... thanks for your mods... i have a question... i cannot play some games PAL in mod 1076... but in mod 1054 yes i can play it... why...? But in the last fix94 version (1076) i can play it without any problem without any mod...
example: Bomberman Land and others...
Thanks in advanced...

if you mean that you get a black screen when launching a wii game that's common issue with 1076 series mine or official,
1054 is better when it comes to launching games.
you can try forcing cIOS 249 in either startup or game settings, this usually fixes that bug

If u change the startup settings to Force cIOS ON and change the cIOS rev to 249 it should help with black screen launches on 1076, some of my friends have the issue others don't I don't have issues launching with 1076, Abz does though so Im not sure what the factor is for the bug.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

it's a memory manager bug that shows during ios loading and switching, it also causes some covers to disappear or show in a weird way

Excuse me, I got trouble compiling some of the Wiiflow-Plugins (VbaGX, FceuGX and Snes9xGX).

I got the source, changed what I wanted to
(the colours - so these plugins fit perfect to my Wiiflow-theme) and made .dol files.

Everything works as it should, except that my SETTINGS won't be saved...
Everytime I start a Gameboy-, NES- or SNES-game my settings (video-mode, timing, cropping...) are back on default.

I don't know how to fix this...

do you have corresponding save folders in device root?

 

[TheSly]

do you have corresponding save folders in device root?

I'm not sure which folders they should be...?

I got one folder called "saves" in device root (there are .raw-files inside). Is this the right folder?
I also got a "saves" folder inside of the vbagx, fceugx and the snes9xgx-folder...

 

[AbdallahTerro]

yeah inside emulator folder that's fine
do you have wiiflow on sd and emulator roms on usb?

Edit: I didn't check the code for emulators but my bet is that they try to save to same /emulator/saves folder on the device where the games are located
