great work, thanks hibern!

but i got an annoying problem: I can't select a theme and I'm not able to change the language.
I downloaded your full version, I'm using the Starnight Channel for the 249 one.

My .dol get loaded, but if I try to select one of the above mentioned settings, it's not possible.

my wiiflow folder (with themes and languages) is in my SD root. It's the one out of your full version.

hope someone can help me,
thanks

You have 2 choices :
- Use your FAT partition as if it was the SD card
- Put a file named wiiflow.ini in sd/wiiflow/ containing :
CODE[GENERAL]
data_on_usb=no

To those who ask if it has error 002 fix etc. : i think you should read again, wiiflow features as many compatibility options as possible. If a game can't work with wiiflow, there's little chance it will work with another loader.

I'll post more info and thanks if i have enough time tonight.
Otherwise, see you in 1 week and a half, hopefully with more info about themes and some examples of what's possible to do.
 
some questions :
- Is it possible to run Sam & Max with this ?
- Where can we download HD full covers ?
- we can hear some sounds when you choose a game, in the video. How to do that ?
 
Congratsulations Hibern! It is trully excellent!
All my games run perfectly(with the obvious exception of MPT).
I would like to ask you if you plan to implement an 'update via internet' option in a future release.
Also,it really needs the ability to rename the games for proper alphabetically arrangement and also an option to customize more the favourites menu.
Finally,please include a meta icon next time.:-)

1. I don't think any loader is capable off running Sam & Max

2. Full covers/HiRES will automatically download if they are available, this is being worked on.

3. Sound works automatically when selecting a game. Try the Carbonic theme

1. I guess no (this loader doesn't have any new function to improve compatibility)
2. wiitdb.com, or use the function in the loader
3. Maybe you should try it *before* asking questions

No need for an auto update, as i don't plan to develop this further.
Wiiflow 1.0 is not a WIP as you may see elsewhere, it's finished and ready for use, unless you find serious bugs.
MPT should work according to the testers, at least with IOS 222 rev3.
 
Thankyou H - this is quite simply AMAZING ! It's a thing of beauty, and looks better than some professional applicationS i have used.

Congratulations - I hope you are rightly very proud of this work

Thanks again.

Oh, that's sad. Thanks a lot for your reply, but it's still not working.
It worked for me with your last beta release. =(

Btw.: I got a 2GB SD card (so, no SDHC, it should be compatible) with the newest 4.1E update for my wii (I think this information is quiet useless) and installed both, cios rev14 (249) and hermes cios (222).

Edit: The problem has to be my HDD. Wiiflow seems to want the wiiflow folder of my sd card (in the root) to load it from the HDD. Because it's on my SD card, Wiiflow won't find it.
So, even with the code inserted in my wiiflow.ini it's not working. Is there probably another solution?
 
Do you have a FAT partition on your harddisk?
Look at the German readme included in the full archive.
Can't help you more.

My HDD: FAT32 & WBFS
My SD Card: FAT16

But thanks a lot for your replys, your loader got the most awesome style of all. It's really not believable, that this was a single man project.
If I won't get it loaded from my SD card, I'll just put the wiiflow folder on my HDD.

Thanks a lot for this loader, hibern.
 
Here is a video of my 11 themes

Elegance,Royal,Crazy,

Rednight, Bluenight, Greennight,

You right. Just tested it and it rocks. very good job man.
Just one more question : my game "broken Sword" is in French but the cover is in English.
How can I change that ?

set your loader to french and download again (select the game , settings per game , download cover).
I'm sure this cover exists in HQ FR , because i uploaded it myself ^^ (les chevaliers de baphomet

)
 
go to WiiTDB and find your french cover and put it in the boxcovers directory on your sd card, remove the cache file from the cache directory on the sd card .wfc and load wiiflow
 
Hey, great to see the final release at last. You have truly stretched my mind on what a console interface should look like. Thanks for the loader, thanks for making it themeable and thanks for letting me beta test it, even though I probably weren't a lot of help.

P.S. The website doesn't quite reflect the quality of this great loader..

Thanks but didn't work. maybe there is a problem with the {loc} variable inside the .ini file.
I changed it to FR and I could download the cover successfully
