WiiFlow 4.2.1 r441 [updated: 31/12]

Back up your versions to your pc and put a totally clean 415.

and give me the results

Post by **Ekaitz** » Fri 23 Dec 2011 14:49

I tested by putting everything on the HDD, so it can't pick the SD as partition (where there's nothing...).

Result: same as before, the forwarder launches, it launches Wiiflow, loading screen and then I get the text "Welcome to Wiiflow. I did not find any games. Click Install etc"...

When I choose the partition, I only get USB1, but the games don't show up, even though they're definitely there, I checked with WBFS Manager...

one, check that you don't have a wiiflow on your sd in addition to the version on the hdd.

two, did you take my ready-made version from my previous post.

3 check that your partitions are properly active in windows disk manager.

Use the latest forwarders from the wiiflow wiki

All of that being ok, but since it still doesn't work, I went with GX.
It'll be just fine for the little one, it worked on the first try.

Hello,
Oh a ghost from the past......

Well yes I'm back to ask you a question of course....
So let me get to it, so I updated my wii 4.1 with the new wiiflow and for the first time since I've been hacking wiis I wanted to try ocarina (yes I know it's not nice to cheat but that's ok I own up to it

) and then ........... it's a disaster ...........of course it doesn't work.
So let me explain what I did, it might help: in wiiflow's settings for ocarina I set yes and I tested several games, for each I go into the settings and try to download the cheats from gecko os (default configuration) but no code

.
For none of the games, from the oldest to the most recent. Is there something I missed? Or is the download simply no longer valid?
Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance

hi

it's been a while since I tested

do you have a gecko os?

Post by **flowlapache** » Mon 9 Jan 2012 14:14

me neither, it's been a long time since I tested. if I can I'll check tonight if it works for me. (maybe the address of the server with the codes has changed), but for me it's without gecko os, just dl the .txt file to the sd or usb then create the .cgt file with wiiflow...

Otherwise are there users using wiiflow to launch channels on emulated nand?

r417 is getting a bit old, I hope they'll release a nice clean wiiflow 3.0, but since neek2o came out, I'm surprised I can't manage to launch my channels from /nands/nand1/ (the folder neek2o uses). For me it only works if it's in /nand/
is that normal or did I forget something...?

thanks

edit: I tested and it does indeed seem to come from wiiflow. it no longer looks for the right file. for any game it does look on geckocodes.org but the end of the address is always wrong ....../"a letter/.txt instead of ...../"region/game ID.txt

we'll have to wait, use gx or cfg for that in the meantime. or just acciohacks to make the files that should be usable by wiiflow (putting them in wiiflow's codes folder of course)

With wiiflow, I launch channels on emulated nand, on real nand and even crap forwarders

Post by **flowlapache** » Mon 9 Jan 2012 23:00

thanks kalidor, I know it's possible. Actually I'd like to know if the emulated nand is in a folder other than /NAND/? if so, are there special settings to configure. and is it on the same partition as wiiflow's? because I have no issue with the /nand/ folder but if I try with another one it doesn't work (for example nands/nand1/ which is used by neek2o and postloader...)
other than the path in wiiflow.ini I don't see what to change...thanks

Post by **TGbot** » Tue 10 Jan 2012 06:09

My nand is at the root of my hdd (no nand folder)

Post by **flowlapache** » Tue 10 Jan 2012 16:40

oki doki, thanks. Well guess I'll just have to wait for new revs of wiiflow, and use something else meanwhile.

we're spoilt for choice with wiiflow versions

Post by **zinzin** » Thu 2 Feb 2012 06:35

Nice

Post by **TGbot** » Thu 2 Feb 2012 08:20

I just tested, the titles are in French, good it's fixed.

On the other hand, the homebrew covers on the hdd look weird but not corrupted.

Well, I disabled homebrews on hdd in wiiflow.ini.

Then I couldn't see my emulated nand, no big deal I edited wiiflow.ini and pointed wiiflow to partition 1.

Switching coverflow, real nand, emulated nand works, but after about the tenth time in a row, crash.

Wiimote syncing is instant (I'm still on D2X V7)

Launching games, no issues at all!

Good work from Fix 94 and Overjoy, I think 419 or 420 will become a future reference.

I'm keeping this version, it suits me very well!

*the homebrew covers on the hdd look weird but not corrupted.
-For the HB covers, that's entropy's work, he did it in a rush. We already told him and he should fix it, i.e. get the right ratio for icon.png. In my opinion, it's a good idea, there are few HB covers on GameTDB

*I couldn't see my emulated nand
-hmmm how so?? Did you press B on the Channel icon? And/or set the partition in the settings? No problem on that side for me.

*Wiimote syncing is instant
-Sometimes the bug comes back, but it's much better than before.

*I think 419 or 420 will become a future reference.
-it's already off again for r419, r70 available

did you test the saves on emu nand??

thanks for your report

Post by **flowlapache** » Thu 2 Feb 2012 10:30

whoaaa!! so cool, it's really nice to get a good big changelog for wiiflow! Well done everyone!
and thanks for your feedback, I'm gonna get to it!

Post by **iAnn** » Thu 2 Feb 2012 19:46

Yes I'm off to test

Thanks for the info

Post by **iAnn** » Sat 4 Feb 2012 09:59

The titles are properly in FR now.

The wiimote sync still bugs for me, takes too long to sync.

Post by **nastyboy62** » Sat 4 Feb 2012 13:51

Thanks for the news!

I'm off right now to test this version, hoping it's more stable than the previous one (even though it's still an alpha version...)

For the long sync issue, if you can (everything on HDD for example), remove your SD card from the Wii.

After testing:
- I still have the long sync issue

- sometimes, code dump when I exit Wiiflow.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Hello,

Now thanks to this version, I do have the titles in French, but I can no longer change the display mode (1 / 2 to change mode). Does it do that for you too?

Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Post by **Jiiwah** » Mon 6 Feb 2012 10:27

hmm weird. I think you no longer have the default.ini file in /wiiflow/themes/
If that's indeed the case, here it is: default.ini

Post by **sniper3d** » Mon 6 Feb 2012 10:41

Nice work

sync perfect

On the other hand I still have the nunchuck problem, when I launch wiiflow with the chuck plugged in, it freezes, and takes me straight back to the HBC; when I play a game, and go back to the wiiflow menu with the chuck, screen freeze on wiiflow with the little dots!

Already present on r415

To avoid this, I unplug the chuck

Post by **safirion** » Mon 6 Feb 2012 11:40

A freeze because of the nunchuck.... hm... Yay.

Otherwise, am I dreaming or did we move to 3.1 Alpha without a stable 3.0? What kind of way to develop is that? Am I the only one bothered by this?

When will there be a proper stable version?!
Don't tell me that this or that rev is "stable", say instead that it has fewer bugs...

Also, Jiiwah, when you say there isn't much memory on the wii to develop a loader as important as wiiflow... Am I supposed to laugh? The Wii is a next-gen game console! We're not on an nes with 128 KB of RAM and 64 KB of video memory! We can run games like Xenoblade on it. Is it therefore normal that a simple loader with 2 3 animations and loading a few covers into memory overloads the wii's memory? I don't think so and noticing that it's the case is more than worrying...

Ah... It's a long way from the time when Wiiflow was so great (by that I mean: nice and bug-free) and ahead of the other loaders...
