- made the following fanart changes:
*fanart still auto displays
*only fanart shows. no cover and no game title and no buttons (play, back, favs, etc.)
*to stop and exit fanart press 'a' while pointer hand is on screen. if pointer hand is not on screen pressing 'a' launches game. pressing 'b' exits game selected screen and returns to normal coverflow. d-pad right and left still go to next or previous game.
*fanart can either play once or loop.
when play once is done it automatically clears fanart and returns to cover view.
with looping it will restart the fanart. looping is good for slideshows of game images.
looping and play once is determined by the setting "show_cover_after_animation". if set to no then looping is enabled. set to yes for only once.
plugin fanart goes in wiiflow/fanart/{coverfolder}/{gametitle}
replace {coverfolder} with the coverfolder= that's set in the plugin's ini file.
replace {gametitle} with title of the rom file without the extension.
the fanart ini file must match the {gametitle} you used for the folder.
-fixed wii u widescreen option in game config menu. should properly work now. thanks pBullet!
-added a fix for coverflow titles display when coverflow has 3 or more rows. for some reason 3 or more rows caused the title to display improperly.
-removed **disabled** message from source menu. no need for it - was a stupid idea. if you don't want it to display then remove it from your source menu or don't add it. when a view is disabled in wiiflow_lite.ini then only that view icon is disabled from showing on the main menu screen.
-removed titles.ini which wasn't really used except for displaying the return to channel in settings. I googled it and nothing really showed up. it seemed to be the same as custom_titles.ini - it seemed useless.
-removed cacheing sourceflow list. the list is never big enuff to worry about cacheing. plus if you add or remove source btns you won't have to reload cache for the changes to take effect.
-removed max_source_btns from wiiflow_lite.ini - added code to get highest source menu btn so now source menu can have as many buttons as you like.
-removed Manage Languages Menu - restored option to just change wiiflow language. no need for downloading languages and the google link didn't work anyway. when i make a pack all the languages will be included.
-added flat cover options for sourceflow and homebrew view. can be turned on/off via their config menu's accessed via 'HOME' btn.
-added config menu for homebrew view - press 'HOME' btn while in homebrew view to access it. config menu options are - switch apps partition, adjust coverflow, smallbox on/off, and flat covers on/off.
-updated config menu for source menu/flow. options include - sourceflow on/off, adjust coverflow, smallbox on/off, flat covers on/off, and for source menu only - multisource on/off.
-added coverflow layouts/versions for individual plugins - which means each plugin can have its own coverflow layout without affecting the others.
-set HQ cover to default to ON
-made it so coverflow doesn't reload every time you access another menu or change favorites or whatever.
-added error messages to game and app launching if any of the bin files needed for launching are missing. previously whenever these errors occurred wiiflow would just exit without the user knowing why. Now the error message should display before exit so the user has an idea what went wrong. had to move cleanup() back some for the errors to show. hopefully that doesn't cause out of mem issues for users with large game collections.
-added error messages to game config menu. now all config options will show but if you can't use it then a error shows telling you. such as 'use neek2o' will be available but if you set it to on and neek2o isn't installed then an error message shows. added error msgs for extracting and flashing saves too.
-added show_mem=yes/no option to wiiflow_lite.ini under [DEBUG]. manually edit wiiflow_lite.ini to turn it on/off. if set to 'yes' wiiflow will show how much free mem is available on screen. no need to compile wiiflow for this option anymore.
-cleaned up some of the boot up code.
-starting a random game - just hold 'B' and press '-'. no longer press'B' on config or question mark icon and no need to allow it in wiiflow_lite.ini
- New Coverflow theme format. no more emuflow, coverflow, brewflow. now we have coverflow, shortflow, sideflow, and smallflow.
- coverflow is the normal coverflow.
- shortflow is automatically used for plugins if all selected plugins require a short CD style cover such as GB, GBC, GBA, and playstation. if there's more let me know and i can add them.
- sideflow is automatically used for plugins if all selected plugins require a cover on its side such as SNES and Nintendo 64.
- smallflow is used if smallbox is set for homebrew and sourceflow.
- no more need for emuflow= with a source btn in the source menu. it is done automatically now using the plugins magic#
- each flow has its own number of modes/layouts. so now coveflow can have 8, smallfow 1, sideflow, 6, and shortflow 4 or whatever you want.
- adjust coverflow works with no problems. just choose the view first before entering the adjust coverflow menu.
- other minor code changes here and there.
- remember themes are now in themes_lite and the coverflow part is seperated and put in the coverflows folder with the same name as the theme or you can use a default coverflow named default.ini for all themes.
-fixed fanart usage
-fixed still selectable banner toggle if fanart is found
-added new setting to the wiiflow.ini, "dml_activity_led" (enabled
by default), in [DML] section, it controls the DML drive light
when the gamecube game is busy
-cleaned up some stuff
to be divisible with 4 anymore, you can use what you want
-moved sound buffers back in mem2, idk but for wiiflow it gives
a better result
-added mem2 memalign placeholder for new memory manager (after
a week still everything but finished)
-updated other small things, cleaned up source structure a bit
is found, it will just replace the filename extension with .jpg
and try it again, the jpg file width and height need to be
divisable with 4, otherwise wiiflow will just ignore the cover
