Hey Guys,

I finally figured this out with the help of ShadowOne333's help! While I'm not sure exactly what the root-cause of the issue was, I ended up stealing his wiiflow application folder, and the source menu started working. His wiiflow version is 4.2.1, and everything is working correctly with it. You can access his wiiflow config files in the following dropbox URL:

Thanks again ShadowOne333, you rock sir! =)

Thanks,

There were a lot of issues regarding the source_menu.ini configuration.
This goes hand in hand with the plugins folder and all the .ini files in there, along with the default.ini file located in /wiiflow/Themes

First off, the source menu was not giving the right icons nor accesing the roms folder.
This was changed in my source_menu.ini file with custom paths and custom .png images.

Second, a LOT of heavy edit went into the default.ini file. I will not provide every change since it was a lot, just download it and hope for the best change.

Third, the rom covers were giving a weird camera view as the default one.
This was changed by adding custom emuflow configurations to the source_menu.ini

emuflow=4 was used for NES, Genesis, Mame, etc covers, vertical covers in a DVD-like style.
emuflow=6 was used for square covers. Like Virtual Boy, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Playstation, etc.
emuflow=2 was used for horizontal covers for N64 and SNES roms.

And I think that's it for what I can recall out of this issue.
Any other questions, feel free to contact me!

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
