Hacking WiiFlow Lite

[Duncan Idaho]

there's an .ini included in the package?

or wiiflow generated it, i didn't have a wiiflow_lite.ini, given the old one does points to usb.

well if you use a clean install of wiiflow v5.5.0 the paths are all set to use the same device where your apps/wiiflow folder is. if you don't have sd card inserted then your apps/wiiflow can't be on SD and neither can the other directories.

See I am checking and the previous wiiflow_lite created on the 31st of last year has the same issue paths pointing to the SD, not usb.
And I haven't been using an SD for a long while, wonder what's causing this.

Hello, I have a problem, so in wiiflow + plugin - real nand when I click the empty box icon and enter the settings to download covers, most of the missing covers do not want to download at all?
e.g. I have something like this: wii / cover / EN / SNTX.png
wii / cover / other / UNEO.png etc ...
Only there is no wii folder in my sd card? I don't know how to properly set it up, I downloaded the covers for the missing programs from
GameTDB I tried to put them in boxcover and covers, set downloaded covers, but they do not appear despite refreshing the memory of the cache
ew someone has a ready package with all covers and could somehow help?

This sounds like the part of the HTML path where gametdb.com has the cover stored on its server. it is not a folder/path on your SD or usb device.

what is SNTX? i can't find it on gametdb.com

WiiFlow freezes when I try to start it up. I had an older version that worked. Remodded and it still worked fine. But I was trying some different hdd's (seagate, ntfs) to get more space, with no luck. So went back to my 1tb MyBook, fat32 and did one more mod to make sure I didn't mess up any settings. When I tried to start WiiFlow it would kick me back to the Wii Menu. So I downloaded the updates at the beginning of this thread. Now instead of kicking me out it just freezes. USB Loader GX works fine, and I can just use that, but would like WiiFlow also.

also rename wiiflow_lite.ini to make wiiflow make a new one.

ok so you are trying to download covers for apps installed on your wii's system menu (real nand).
a lot of those don't exist. SNTX doesn't exist on gametdb.com. wiiflow tried to find it on gametdb using that path but it wasn't found. if a cover is found you should see 'Saving...' and 'converting...' if not then wiiflow can't find it an moves on to the next. that's why it tells you downloaded 2 out of 4 when finished.

And I understand that, thank you so much

You helped a lot, I took out the sd card and after turning the console off and back on, the covers appeared as normal thanks

I searched my sd card and don't see a wiiflow_lite.ini
Changed to ios250 and it started. Still need to see if everything works. Thanks

In the process of installing Rhapsodii Shima for the first time over a fresh install of WiiFlow (v5.5). Only hitch is that I’m not sure where the updated rhapsodii shima.ini file from a couple pages back is meant to go. I see two existing ini files, one in wiiflow>themes_lite, and another in wiiflow>themes_lite>coverflows. Which rhapsodii shima.ini gets replaced? Or both of them?

 

[RunningSnakes]

@jayteef

wiiflow>themes_lite

needs to be replaced with the new .ini

coverflows folder .ini does not need replaced.

 

[jayteef]

Thank you so much!

@jayteef

coverflows folder .ini does not need replaced.

question... idk what I am doing wrong but when I try to update my wiiflow lite version, the version number doesnt change in the menu/settings page... mine is stuck at 5.4.6... what am I missing? I even tried deleting the wiiflow folders and copying over just the new ones and it still says that...
