Hacking WiiFlow - an open source GUI USB-Loader

[bostonBC]

Any chance on updating this so it works on Wii U via Wii VC injection with Gamepad support?

I don't understand your question. The latest injection thread puts Wii U game(s) as channels if you have CFW. WiiFlow/WiiFlow-Lite is a homebrew app, not a Wii game.

Nintendont has successfully been injected and can play gamecube games with the Wii U gamepad.

Ah I get it. You are asking if the Wii U Gamepad can be supported in vWii mode by WiiFlow-Lite.

I believe that would be a question for Fix94. The current version of Nintendont works fine under vWii with WiiFlow-Lite but there is no Gamepad support.

Has anyone tried wiiflow as wii vc? does it work? does it bootup?

i only see it useful as a frontend with covers for nintendont on SD.

Hello everyone

I got a bit lost in the hack.

On my wii u 5.5.2 I have already everything installed and working. I downloaded emulators that work ok.

My problem, using wiiflow as loader, is to link all the emulators on the wiiflow, having a single launcher for everything. Actually I am playing wii and gamecube games from wiiflow lite.

On my wii u I have installed wiiflow lite version, but I don't really understand how to put the other emulators like nes and snen. I downloaded a pack of plugins for wiiflow and put it on the wiiflow/plugins folder but nothing change.

So , for shure I don't know how to do. Have I maybe need to install a different wiiflow version? Is wiiflow lite a "lite version" of wiiflow? Wichone have I install on vWii? Did I put the pack in the wrong folder? Maybe the plugin pack is dated?

If you guys can link me the right pack and wiiflow version and explain me how to set it up, I would be thankfool.

Thanks

That version is very old and buggy.

Here's the link for WiiFlow-Lite which is current and supported.

I have a problem with Retroarch on wiiflow. I knew that it can't save the resolution, but it doesn't save ANY setting as well. I updated all the cores to the latest version (currently 1.6.9) and I'd like to use overlays to have scanlines. I have to set the path to the overlays folder and then choose scanlines, but it won't save the configuration file and everytime I close the game all these settings are lost.
I already tried to set the full path to the apps folder in the dol .ini files but no luck.
If I use the stand-alone version everything works.

It’s 2018 - WiiFlow Lite vs. USB Loader GX? Pros/cons?

 

[senkunmusashi]

Dusting of the old mothballed Wii and looking to use it again, same question, Wiiflow vs Loader GX, which is it gonna be?

 

[Th3-Blu3BoMb3r]

usb loader is quicker to guide but wiiflow is a sexy frontend

 

[Th3-Blu3BoMb3r]

COuld someone send me the genplusgx plugins from the (abs) wiiflow masterpiece pack please

How do I install this?

Hello. I'm having trouble with wiiflow, from abz pack, and wiiflow lite. Nands extracted with either, don't work with emunand or neek. Nands extracted using wiixplorer do, as does the nand from abz pack, but adding wads using showmiiwads breaks them. Any one know files do I need to copy from my real nand to my emunand to copy a title from my wii to my usb?
Also, nintendont auto boots with all the options off in wiiflow, but has the memory card option on in wiiflow lite. Both retain the options for individual titles.
Tia any advice welcome

Hey guys I was playing wiiflow and usbloader gx with a regular usb just the day I downloaded them, games in wbfs format. It worked because I have the necessary cios (249 and 250) and obviously the unpatched and official iOS 58. So the problem is not the iOS. Recently I discovered that the Wii U killed my other usb when I transferred splatoon from my Wii U to the usb and suddenly the Wii U wouldn’t recognize the usb. I investigated and I found out that Wii U kills regular usbs but not hdds. so I bought a 500 go hdd and transferred Smash bros for Wii U to it and after 3 months works perfectly. My question is: is the usb the problem or is the problem another one?

by usb you mean flash or thumb drive or are you talking about the actual usb port?

dont have a lot of time right now so quick answer.

using wiiflow lite for all these answers
Q1 you could use the source menu with multi source on and select them all. then delete source_menu.ini to prevent him from accessing it to change them. also hide all views to keep him from clicking the view icon on the main screen.

Q2 with wiiflow lite yes you can just goto main settings and set nand choice to both

Q3 don't understand. they always do show full size covers just like wii games.
