Via the 4.3 hack tutorial with the d2x via Modmii

I started from a totally fresh wiiflow with no .ini or anything as specified in post #1.

I don't have any sync time issues.
Dl covers with no issues.
Games needing reload with no issues on usb and even on dvd (an old dump of my csi that needed reload).
I just have a k2000 freeze issue (fixed by cutting the wifi)

Speed and smoothness are there

zinzin:
I erased my system.ini and that changed nothing. You need to count at least 15s before the WiiMote's light finally turns on!
I "cleaned" my Wii, reinstalled the cIOS, WiiFlow but still this super long sync time

Good news! I found the cause of the problem

but not the definitive solution

Actually, the cause of the long sync is the SD card!!! When I remove it, no more problem.
Since I had WiiFlow's boot.dol on SD and the rest on HDD, it took me a while to find...
Now, regarding WiiFlow, everything is on HDD.
The problem remains entirely since even without WiiFlow on the SD, when it's inserted, the sync is long. I tried everything: Formatting to Fat, Fat 32, emptying the card but the problem is still there and this since installing the cIOSxd2x and WiiFlow r355.

So, it's not a problem with my SD since everything worked before!
Would you have an explanation Jiiwah?

What's your sd?

ps: when I said I started fresh with a new wiiflow, that means I deleted everything: app/wiiflow <=== this one

and sd/wiiflow <= deleted too

and not just my .ini

Hi zinzin and thanks for answering my problem,

SD 2Gb of the Dane-elec brand.
I'm moving forward slowly but surely... Actually, I have the feeling the problem comes from the forwarder!
Let me explain. I launched WiiFlow via HBC on my SD and there, no sync problem.
When I launch it via its Forwarder (StarNightfix94) with the SD inserted in the Wii, the sync is long. Could it be that the forwarder is wasting time (syncing) by fetching something on the SD?
How did you install WiiFlow? On SD or HDD?
Thanks

me, I'm super into SD ^^ everything's on my sd.
I'll add that on top of that, I only have the hbc on my menu ^^
I launch my WF by entering my hbc

forwarwhat forwarwho??

Hi mamule,

Can you test with the Starnight forwarder please?
On my side, I'm testing orchid.
What's strange is that with the channel, in HBC, I don't have the issue, whereas with the forwarder, whether WiiFlow is on SD or HDD, I get a (very) long sync...

Post by **Jiiwah** » Wed 29 Jun 2011 19:18

All the forwarders have the same dol so no need to test them all

Do us a syscheck for fun, you never know

With the SD inserted? Where is WiiFlow's dol and its directory located (SD or HDD)?

I'm trying to understand where the problem could come from but there... I'm stumped

Thanks to you for the help

I tested with orchidfix94, standard orchid, standard starnight...
I reinstalled the D2x v6 cIOS...
Still the same problem!
On the other hand, if I launch WiiFlow via HBC or without an SD inserted, instant sync!

mamule wrote:If you have them on your HDD, try moving them to the SD by editing wiiflow.ini accordingly (data_on_usb=no and the folder paths), see if that changes anything.

Indeed, I have everything on HDD. So, I moved apps/wiiflow (by editing wiiflow.ini) as well as the wiiflow directory to my SD and the problem is still there!

mamule wrote:What else do you have on your SD? Bootmii? Priiloader?...

I did have other applications in apps/ but I removed everything, only apps/wiiflow remains and still the same problem!

mamule wrote:Does it do the same thing with a forwarder and another loader?

Which other loader with forwarder do you recommend mamule?

What's strange is that when there's only the wiiflow folder in apps/ on my SD and I go to HBC to launch wiiflow directly, I don't have the sync issue?!?
Hence my question: Is it possible, by modifying the meta.xml for example, to force the forwarder to launch a boot.dol located in SD:/apps/wiiflow? Or else, is it possible to directly modify a .wad file (the forwarder in my case)?
For info, I tried placing the boot.dol somewhere other than in SD:/apps/wiiflow/ (SD:/wiiflow for example) and indeed it refuses to launch!

Thanks for your help

I'm still thinking about your problem nastyboy62, I'm going to submit your problem to the rest of the team, but keep doing your investigations, it helps and thanks for your reports, we'd like more people like you

While we're at it and since I have you (no ulterior motives, I can already see some people's comments), do you use a theme?

Post by **nastyboy62** » Fri 1 Jul 2011 22:48

Thanks to you for your responsiveness, your advice and your help!

Otherwise, yes, I use the "Starnight" theme. I think I know where you're going with this Jiiwah... I'm testing with the default theme and will keep you posted.

Same problem with the default theme

I ran several tests this afternoon and I just discovered that by reinstalling cIOS 20b as 249b56, I no longer have the long sync issue. As soon as I install the D2x v6 again, the problem comes back!
I tried with D2x as 249b57 and 250b56, same thing.
Apparently, the D2x aren't compatible with all Wii versions...

While waiting for the next revision of the D2x, I'm going to reinstall the 21

Thanks again to the whole Team

Post by **Jiiwah** » Sat 2 Jul 2011 01:26

The theme wasn't for your problem but rather for other bugs and on top of that you're using one of the themes that has these issues.

I'll explain:
1) at the top right there are the 4 icons in a frame. It's this frame that interests me, especially its animation. In the normal animation, the frame comes down from the top of the screen to reach its place, but sometimes this animation goes wrong, it doesn't do what it's supposed to, it's different.

2) Still on that same frame, at the top left (of the frame), sometimes a "no" appears.

There you go, now you know about the bugs, but it turns out that since rev355 I haven't seen them yet, yet they were numerous on the previous revs and the coders didn't work on fixing them, it may have gotten fixed when they fixed something else. So keep an eye out from time to time for these 2 issues to see if you see them.

The other theme also having this problem is Orchid, for the others who use that theme.
Thanks

I've never noticed that kind of problem.

Same, haven't seen that problem.

I understand. I'll pay attention to this menu from now on.

Otherwise, another bug exists in WiiFlow's display but I think you're already aware of it. Indeed, depending on the display type chosen, a gap appears at the bottom of the screen.
Let me explain (trying to be as clear as possible

):
I use a 16/9 CRT TV, 82 cm, 100Hz.
The Wii being connected via YUV, set to 480p (same for 480i) and the centering setting being at zero.
The games menu appears normally. On the other hand, as soon as I go into the "?" or "settings" menu, a (small) black gap appears at the bottom of the image.
I did the test at 50Hz. There, the games menu as well as "?" and "settings" appear with a (large) offset at the bottom of the screen (but thanks to that, we can see that the "?" and "settings" menus display with 2 bars framing the text). Which makes me think that the "small" black gap, in 480p mode, is the bottom bar that frames the text.
To sum up:
In 480p (and 480i), I'd say a zoom occurs. Which means we don't see the "?" and "settings" menus in full. Hence the (small) black bar at the bottom of the screen.
At 50 Hz, it's the opposite. We can see the "?" and "settings" menus in full but a (large) offset appears at the bottom of the display (as if the image were shifted upward).
I'm doing the test to see if I have the same problem in games.

After tests, no problems at all in games, nor on the other themes in 480p (default and orchid).
On the other hand, at 50Hz, I still have the offset at the bottom of the screen with the default and orchid themes (but not with games). Which makes me think it's a problem with my TV.

Have a good weekend everyone!

I raised this black gap bug with CRT TVs a while back.
Either change to 480 or get a flat TV :p

We must be the last ones with CRTs

Have you tried with v3, v4 or v5?

Modmii for the first install. Then, to remove any doubt, uninstall then install with the v2.1 installer.
Tested with V5 and V6.1beta but same issue.

Ok, thanks. I'll test and keep you posted.

Do WiiFlow's Devs have shares in LCD manufacturers?

Indeed zinzin, it seems to me the problem had already been raised with earlier versions.
For me, switching to 50Hz changes nothing, it's even worse! (see above)
As for buying a flat screen, we'll see about that once I'm back from the subway!

Test result with Configurable USB Loader v70b5 and 2 different forwarders:
No long sync problem!

The Wiimote turns off and back on after about 6 seconds. It's synced by the time I get to the games menu.
I tested with the 2 forwarders found on the GBATemp forum and still no sync problems.
What do you all think?

Post by **Jiiwah** » Sat 16 Jul 2011 23:42

r374 and I uploaded to wiiflowiki a new version of the channels, they use v10 of fix94's forwarder whose changelog is:

Alright, uploaded the sources from v10!
Changes:
-fixed dol loader issue (thanks oggzee)
-fixed video issue
-added dollz loader (thanks stfour)
-meta.xml parser can now pass comments (thanks oggzee)

Post by **nastyboy62** » Sun 17 Jul 2011 03:54

Hello everyone,

Small update after tests:

I installed r374 as well as the new forwarder hoping it would fix my problem but unfortunately, nothing better

For info Jiiwah, there are bugs with title downloads in r374.
- When you start a title download, at the end of the progress bar, the page stays stuck for several seconds without being able to move the cursor.
- The downloaded titles are in English.
Let me explain: I removed "settings" then launched WiiFlow. Before downloading, they're in French but the accents aren't handled correctly. After downloading in the WiiFlow settings page, the titles are in English (with WiiFlow in French).
I did the same thing with r355 and after downloading the titles, they're indeed in French.

Have a good Sunday & good luck!

Post by **nastyboy62** » Tue 19 Jul 2011 13:45

Hi everyone!

I'm neither a developer nor a programmer but if I may, why touch the title download "module" if in r355 it worked without any problem? To improve it? Unless I missed a bug?!?

Otherwise, no news for my sync problem?
With CFG loader no problem. Incompatibility between WiiFlow (r355) and the d2x v6?
What about the d2x v7b, can it be installed without having bugs with WiiFlow?

Thanks for your help!

Post by **Jiiwah** » Tue 19 Jul 2011 14:00

Because sometimes touching something messes up something else.

Still no news for your problem

WiiFlow now works very well with d2x v6, no idea with v7.

Post by **Jiiwah** » Thu 21 Jul 2011 22:43

Because it's the version on wiiflow.org.

Thanks for the work of all these fine people... including you... I can't test it, I won't have the wii until... probably september

Hello!

I have a small snag... I did the hack on a wii in 4.3 with the new stuff (davebaol's d2x cIOS) I already did a wii before with the old CIOS rev 20b (I think) and there everything was ok...

But here, I have the following problem: when I want to launch wadmanager, I have to choose IOS236 because the others, 249 and 250, don't work (I thought those were the ones you used before), I install the 2 WADs taken with ModMii and the install goes fine.

But which version of wiiflow should I take?
I installed wiiflow's wad to have it as a wii channel (this one: 8Bits-FIX94v10forwarder-WBIT.wad - on Jul 16, 2011 4:25 PM by Jiiwah (version 1) )

I do have the channel on the wii but when I launch it, it goes straight back to the wii menu....

What did I do wrong?

Post by **Vastasio** » Thu 4 Aug 2011 14:04

is your wiiflow folder in the right place on your SD(HDD)? did you put the boot.dol properly? that happened to me too before I noticed I had forgotten to put the boot.dol

Jiiwah wrote:Download
If it's the first time you're installing WiiFlow, you need to take the package in addition to the dol.
If you have an old version, you need to delete your gameconfig1.ini and gameconfig2.ini files in /wiiflow/settings/ as well as the wdm folder in /wiiflow/codes/. If some issues persist, delete the wiiflow.ini file located in /apps/wiiflow/.

There are still many bugs, the coders know it.
It's recommended not to add music, to avoid many freezes.

https://wiiflow.googlecode.com/files/2.2-RC-1-%28No-Dol%29.zip (updated on 12/02)
In the pack above, you need to delete the wiiflow.ini file located in /apps/wiiflow/ as well as the wdm folder in /wiiflow/codes/.

1st link: it's the boot.dol to put in the folder: App/Wiiflow
2nd link, it's the complete package

I recommend putting the 1st link first, and then the 1st link (overwriting the file if necessary)
