with neek2o, the sd is disabled in the (emulated) wii menu since the nand is on SD, so how can diosmioslite.bin (GC games on SD) work? :?
You're completely right, needs to be tested with DM booter and uneek2o/sneek2o.
Let me go over it again:
Either diosmios.bin or diosmioslite.bin renamed to diosmios.bin + quadforce.bin.
I dug further into this, this feature isn't exclusive to DI, which anyway only browses the first active FAT32 partition on usb whether with uneek or sneek.
I read that it might possibly be planned for DI to support NTFS and WBFS format partitions (maybe).

I do have a nand dump from wiiflow and it works perfectly, that said I'm very interested in the bootmii method.
I second mamule regarding creating a nand with modmii, it's not great, missing some stuff.

It's all good for me, except that it's NAND and not Nand, and to be more precise, it's NAND flash memory. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9moire_flash

The SD card isn't essential to use neek2o, extracting Wii games in FST format isn't necessary since WBFS format is supported, however I haven't tested with games over 4Gb, so I don't know whether neek2o handles split images.

The issue with WiiFlow is that r88 isn't the best version to make full use of it.

As for JoyFlow, uh... meh.
On the other hand, mentioning Postloader as a replacement for the HBC would be a good idea.

Good job :74:

Good evening, nice tutorial, clear and well explained. Been using neek for a while, I finally moved to 95, oddly I have a wiiware game (and maybe others) that works on 88 but not on 95!!
Would you have any idea where this could come from? is neek2o really region free for the channels?
thanks

ok mamule, it's true that I rarely check my pms but I don't remember getting any from you, yet I've had a few exchanges with ayatus recently, sorry.
I wasn't supposed to be asking myself such questions, since up till now everything worked fine. I only start questioning things when it doesn't work. I never had issues with ntsc games on a pal or ntsc nand. But since with 95 I wasn't getting the same results as with 88, I wondered if a setting needed to be adjusted in the 95 settings, I know it sounds twisted and illogical but when I don't know where it's coming from I ask myself all sorts of questions, after changing nand and reinstalling the game it still only works on 88. I'm talking about an ntsc wiiware game. I'll ask overjoy if he has any advice. thanks

Hi, among neek2o users, does it happen to you like me to get a super shrill sound when you switch from one nand to another? Also, the config screens flicker, but it's not consistent. strange?

Also, where should the covers go to show up in neek2o? (on the system menu and without wiiflow).

thanks

Hi Flowlapache

To show covers in neek2o you need to put them in BMP format with dimensions of 176 by 248 (3D gametdb covers)

Path
Sneek > covers > bmp > GAMEID.bmp
and a bin folder
sneek > covers > bin


the nocovers.bin file is used for games you don't have covers for

Source

for the conversion use paint (on windows) the default conversion to 24 bit works very well but transparency is poorly handled with bmp
with gimp transparency is handled but the covers aren't recognized in neek2o
and it looks bad with 3D covers


I recommend resizing the 2D covers and putting them in bmp format, it looks less bad (much less bad) ;)

otherwise regarding the shrill sound it's always done that to me between each nand change and I also get flickering with the Di menu but it depends on the revision of neek2o used

thanks roukx you rock ;) everything I wanted to know! thanks. and yes, the flickering does depend on the revision indeed!
not having a wiiu I don't go on the other forum much which is quite active anyway!

if you happen to play wiiware games, would you by chance have a list of games that don't work on neek2o? because mine is starting to get long despite my various attempts... they claim 100% wiiware compatibility but I still have quite a few stubborn ones, tried on nands of different regions with/without hack. in normal mode or via DI, nothing works.
liight, phalanx, paper wars are the ones that come to mind. see you next time
