Hacking wiiflow question...

[Redman chew]

I'm a long time lurker on here, and finally decided to join. Ive learned a lot from the threads already, but have hit a bump. I'm currently messing with wiiflow and really love the interface. Ive been transferring all my games to it, but for some reason it won't read the Roms. My neo geo, neo geo Cd, neo geo pocket, virtual boy, mame, and capcom 1 games won't work. I've tested all of them and they work on their emulators, so they're not corrupt. Do I need a special format?

Are u using Wiiflow with the Emulator Plugins???

If so u will have to edit each Emulator .ini In the Wiiflow folder and change your Rom Path to wherever u have your Roms......

I am using plugins. I just used final alpha burn for capcom 1 and it now works but having trouble getting the box art to show.

U should make sure your covers is in the right place and the Emulater .ini in the Plugin folder has the same cover path.....

Still having trouble getting the games to run. When I enter the configuration settings file, what do I put in the arguments / device/path/name?

So I got virtualboy working by making a new folder and dropping the zipped games in it. I'm still having trouble with neo geo and neo geo pocket. Can anyone help? Is there a specific folder I need to make or put the games in? Which plugin should these go under?

I use WiiMednafen for my NeoGeo Pocket so here is an Example......u have to edit the .INI files for the emulators u wanna use and just edit the RomDir Line :

So i created a Folder on Root of SD Card Wiimednafen\roms\NGP for NeoGeo Pocket games.....When u add the Games and Edit the .ini file for the Emulator Remember to Refresh Cache in Wiiflow so it will Load any changes made or stuff Added

So I tried this, and it didn't work for me. I messed around with it over the weekend and finally got mame, cp1, and cp2 fully operational, but it only gives me a list of the games and will not show covers. I also cannot get neo geo games to run at all. I tried them under various emulators in wiiflow, but no luck. They run fine in homebrew, but I really want to get all the covers showing. Can anyone help?

To make things more confusing, I put all the cp1 and cp2 games into mame, and the covers now work! Anyone know why that is?
