Hacking WiiFlow Lite

[Exidous]

Is there any reason/need to keep the original png boxcover files in the boxcovers folder once Wiiflow generates its cache? I could use the reclaimed space.

Is there any reason/need to keep the original png boxcover files in the boxcovers folder once Wiiflow generates its cache? I could use the reclaimed space.

For boxcovers, if WiiFlow has already created the WFC (cache) files, the original PNG files are no longer necessary to keep on the SD/USB.

However, I would advise to keep the original PNG files backed up somewhere safe if you can. Perhaps on a PC or spare USB drive, just in case.

As Hakaisha said, it's better to keep the original if possible.
A wfc file is a compressed image (GX CMPR) using the S3TC DXT1 lossy algorithm.

If you lost the original png and for any reason you'd want it back (editing, different loader etc.), I'd wrote this kinda useless tool :
https://github.com/Wiimpathy/WFC2PNG

It was made in order to understand the wfc format, but also because I lost the original homemade covers after an hdd crash.

To update to 5.4.9 from 5.4.9, I just extract the zip file and overwrite every file? Will I lose any settings doing this?

Hey guys, I've been using Wiiflow Lite with SD Card Wii / GameCube for a while now and I play MKWII every now and then and sometimes it crashes.

Maybe a faulty sd card? Use usb

Perhaps I thought so too, but Sonic Colors, MkWii Wimmfi Edition that start with IOS 58 Cios 249 work.

Extract the files with dolphin.

 

[Glaedorf]

Yeah. Use dolphin.

 

[Glaedorf]

How do you unpack and repack 3D models and code with Dolphin ?

You can browse through the disc (iso in this case). Or cygwin can unpack iso files.

 

[Glaedorf]

I already know that with Dolphin i can extract any file from a wii or gamecube game
What i want is to extract the code etc from a file that have been already extracted
If y extract "ace_1p.aar" from the game, i want to extract the model from the file

If you could try MkWii with SD card, it would help me. If I set cios to force in the wiiflow menu, then mkwii and IOS 249 works, but if I set the option to off then it sometimes doesn't work. IOS 58 is then used there. I use Vwii.

No i play ctgp. Don't need the iso
