I'm coming to report a basic problem in WiiFlow! :?

I just noticed that the first time you launch WiiFlow, you're forced to have a HD connected to the Wii, otherwise the loader won't start and stays stuck on the warning screen saying you need to plug the HD into port 0.
As a result, people who play exclusively on SD/SDHC can't use WiiFlow! :?

There should be a screen added on the first launch that asks
"Where are the WiiFlow files located?" SD or USB.
"Where are your games located?" SD or USB.
;) ;)

Ah yeah really top notch the loader it seems to me (without having tried) that GX and CFG do it without any hassle right?

Try it then and you'll get the answer to that "seems to me" and you'll see if the other loaders do it "without any hassle".
Keep us posted.

So WiiFlow and GX are out and CFG lets you switch to SD card game mode right from the very first use ;)
That's really a shame for our WiiFlow!

Let's say that playing on sd is really exceptional, it's usually usb stick and hdd.

I'm not going to trash cfg which is remarkable, but the menus are really terrible visually.

They fix that and Wiiflow will be in trouble!

Usb Loader Gx, I couldn't care less about it, it's meh.

In the meantime, the Wiiflow team isn't done with their loader, but we shouldn't be surprised if it shows up by the end of the year.

A final version of Wiiflow is planned...

Wait & see

I think just like you Kalidor ;)
CFG isn't practical and GX is meh so WiiFlow remains the best loader in my opinion even though it would be better with that option :D

No, that's false! Without a TV WiiFlow starts up fine, it's just that you can't see it!

For that you'll need to create the TRIIFORCE
cIOS249 rev14, rev15 or rev17. Rev16, rev18 and rev19 are not supported.

Hello!

I redid the 4.3 hack today and I'm still stuck with the latest wiiflow...

Installing wiiflow (via HD) went very smoothly, but it's the usage that's blocking me.

So here's my issue: No way to change theme, languages, ... I downloaded a cover to see if it worked and once wiiflow restarted, the cover hadn't been saved.
Every time I start up I'm forced to reselect the wbfs partition and nothing gets saved :x

Here's what my HD (FAT partition) looks like:

- At the root:
Image unavailable (removed by its host)



- Root / Wiiflow:
Image unavailable (removed by its host)



- Root / apps:
Image unavailable (removed by its host)



- Root / apps / Wifflow:
Image unavailable (removed by its host)




... In the folder wiiflow that is at the root, there's everything (themes, covers,...)
EXCEPT the file .ini (not available in the archive I downloaded from the site)

... In the folder wiiflow that is located in apps, there I put the .dol that I downloaded from the site wiiflowiki.
I got the most recent one --> 8-Bit_Playground - WBIT.rar - on Jan 26, 2011 12:16 PM by nibb (version 1)

What the heck did I do wrong? I really can't see what's messing everything up :cry:

Whoa!

First thing, check that you don't have a wiiflow folder on your sd or a wiiflow.ini on your sd.

If everything's ok, remove everything, and start from scratch.

Download the 2.2 rc1 pack and copy it onto your hdd.

Then download wiiflow 2.2 rc1 249, copy it onto your hdd.

The 2.2 rc1 pack is wiiflow without the executable, by adding wiiflow 2.2 rc1 249 you're adding the missing executable.

There, your wiiflow is complete.

To install a channel (forwarder) for wiiflow, you can install it with wad manager, you choose your channel here https://sites.google.com/site/wiiflowik ... forwarders

OK ok...

So, on my HD I'll have 3 folders: apps, wiiflow and WAD.

In wiiflow at the root, there will be all my covers and other stuff AND in the other wiiflow folder located in apps, there'll only be the .DOL ... is that right?

If that's right, there's no need to start over from scratch...
I mean: since Wiiflow is already properly installed as a WAD (channel) all I need to do is delete my whole HD and put back the 2.2 RC1 + the 249 dol..... Is that right?

Hi

The wad folder has nothing to do on the hdd, that's just the channels!

You should have an apps folder at the root of the hdd with, inside it, a wiiflow folder (the boot.dol, icon.png and meta.xml and a wiiflow.ini file (which you can delete, if you have issues, wiiflow recreates one).

And you should have a Wiifow folder at the root of your hdd (inside, there's the covers, cache, theme folders, etc...)

A+

A huge thank you for the help...

... but I solved the problem which was way dumber than I thought.....
Wiiflow was creating new folders on my other NTFS partition instead of the FAT one where the right folders were...

So, there, I look even dumber, but also less dumb for having found it :93:


Sorry, but thanks for your time :-)

Hello everyone,
I think I have a small snag, I'm trying in vain to launch an NGC game via wiiflow, I installed "cMios installer rev5" everything went fine without any error, so I inserted my dvd-r disc rogue leader :D and once I launch wiiflow then click bottom left to launch a disc... the wii reboots :/

Wiiflow 2.2 RC1 (r304)

Edit: same result with gc backup launcher 0.3, the wii reboots :(

Thanks for your help sniper3d, but I couldn't find the option to change ios :(, I have 7 pages in wiiflow's settings and none for changing ios, I also tested 2 backups, one normal and the other multi-game, but same result.

As mamule said, your problem is probably coming from your drive, check it by reading this page. Info not up to date, the list might be longer.
