Hacking WiiFlow Lite

[RunningSnakes]

Hi again, Would it be possible in the next update to make it so that holding left or right constantly scrolls the covers at high speed rather than having to press the button multiple times?

That feature is already included. What version of WFL are you using?

Apologies, I was using an earlier version 5.4.9 to help with a different problem that is now fixed. I have gone to 5.5.4

I do have another major issue though. I changed an iOS option in the menu to 250 instead of 249 (or it might be the other way around) I can’t load it now to reverse those. It does not appear to be in the .ini and deleting the ini didn’t fix it. How do I get this working again? I did this because I was trying to sort the issue below. Such a fool

Also is there a upper wii game limit it can handle? I have set up a complete set of redump verified 1g1r but am getting crashes when trying to load the list with this error

you need to change it on the ini file and on the "\apps\wiiflow\meta.xml" (USB and SD if you use them), on section

  <arguments>
      <arg>waitdir=usb1:/apps/wiiflow/wait_imgs</arg>
      <arg>waitloop</arg>
      <arg>ios=249</arg>
      <arg>noflash</arg>
    </arguments>

You must to consider to read the thread here about cIOS, you really only need the cIOS 249 preferable the d2x v8 (or d2x v10 which are the same of v8 only the version was bumped to the avoid the conflict about the vWii ones) and for slot 249 you should have it based on IOS 57 which have the most compatibility with games, for some very few "problematic" games you also can have the slot 250 with d2x V8 base IOS 56 and use only on Wiiflow's game setting no anywhere else.

If you can not boot on wiiflow try to boot to Homebrew Chanell and use any installation method you like to change your IOSes.

Hello! I have been coming across a problem where I can't get my custom Gamecube Banners to work on WiiFlow Lite. I even use the designated folder. I currently deleted it in favor of USB Loader GX, but I can redownload all the necessary files to troubleshoot again.
I would really love to use (And share) these banners with everyone. I didn't make them just not to use them :^(

this was incredibly useful. I modded my Wii YEARS ago and assumed it was one and done. Lots appears to have developed since then. It turns out my IOS 249 was out of date, 250 was wrong and I had nothing in 251. I literally didn't have a clue. It is a wonder anything was working to be honest. I am now back in Wiiflow. Cheers

Additional to my past answer you can use the Start Configurator on the OP to setup your WiiFlow(lite) setup from HBC

How can I set the hooktype to none when using GCT files?

Hi! When i use a 2gb sd card, i can load wiiflow and play wii games... When i use a 128gb sd card (both my sandisk and my patriot), i can see the first logo, but not the logo that moves, and then it brings me back to the homebrew channel. another weird thing here is the sd cards work when used with a usb sd card adapter while using the 2gb sd card for wiiflow and homebrew channel. I bought the sandisk just check if the patriot sd card was the problem and seems like it was not a broken sd card case.. Let me know if you need any info/log files. I will gladly share them.

formatted fat32 or ntfs?
btw, as far as I remember, an external card reader (usb sd card adapter) can show higher speeds than an internal one. So the variant using 2+128 is not so bad

my sd cards are all fat32... does allocation unit size matter when formatting? If i cant make the 128gb sd cards to work, i got a healthy 250gb and a sata/usb adapter but I'd rather use an sd card internally since i don't like having a loose hard drive next to the wii or having a usb/sd adapter sticking out. I don't care about speed.

@XxTriviumxX

Try formatting to FAT32 (64 cluster).

tried with 64kb cluster size, same result, sends me back to homebrew channel

Hmm. What program are you using to format SD card may i ask?

Also. Are you launching WFL through Homebrew Channel or Channel Forwarder?

 

[XxTriviumxX]

I tried formatting with gparted and minitool partition wizard. I'm launching from homebrew channel

Try deleting "wiiflow_lite.ini" file inside...
SD/apps/wiiflow folder, then try launching again.

If that doesn't help, try formatting SD with guiformat (FAT32 64 cluster).

 

[XxTriviumxX]

deleting the ini file did not help and there is no 64 cluster option available, unless you mean 65536 (64k as in 64000?).. options available range from 512 to 65536

 

[r1vver]

yep, it's *k. So 65536

 

[XxTriviumxX]

still no dice.. with both 128gb sd cards
