- set wiiflow to default to using cIOS. if you want to use IOS58 go to startup settings and set force load cios to 'no'.

- #92 doubled the length of char wfcTitle[] to 128 for long plugin rom titles. fixes possible rom covers not showing do to their title being longer than 64.
- #93 added .gcm as a extension for gamecube ISO's.
- fixed hiding homebrew icon via homebrew settings option.
