- added custom missing covers support. Totally optional - without them wiiflow will display the usual blank question marks or theme related ones just like normal. Does not affect downloading covers or manually putting covers in wiiflow's cover folder. Wiiflow still checks for the cached cover first, then the box cover and flat cover, but before displaying the usual blank question mark ones wiiflow now looks for these custom missing covers.
Put your custom missing covers in your normal wiiflow boxcovers folder with all the other wii game covers. Rename them to the magicnumber.jpg and for non plugins - wii.jpg, channels.jpg, gamecube.jpg, and homebrew.jpg. You have to use jpg's when using this default method.
For theme related cover images still put them in your normal wiiflow boxcovers folder and rename them if necessary. I recommend adding the theme name and underscore as a prefix to the image name. Then add the following to your theme.ini modifying it to your liking. Note when using theme related cover images they can be png's.

cheats, save emu, nsmbw + pop patch, wanin cios and hermes cios,
and return to wiiflow again (works here with d2x again)
-fixed some important stuff in wiiflow itself, less corruption
of the dol and more static stuff to get it back to stability
-set optimize level of booter from -Os to -O1
-added back name addition for gamecube game disc 2
-made gprintf, fmt and sfmt a bit more safe
-removed unneeded char for list check, just wastes memory
for the db files but its plugin magic to prevent double entries
because of same paths for alternative plugins
-removed some annoying debug prints yet again
-set down wiiflows entry point from 0x80A00000 to 0x8062000
(saves ALOT of MEM1 for lists etc, so wiiflow should be able to read
in alot of more games in for example plugin coverflow)
-recompiled libjpeg
-removed alot of annoying debug prints
-made the trailer code faster
dpad
-fixed a bug when pointer gets on screen and some option is selected
via dpad and pointer gets off screen again that the dpad setting was
completely fucked up
-only enable scrolling through settings with dpad if no pointer is
on the screen (to not confuse wiiflow)
-alternative way of booting game with pressing A and pointer not
on screen (for some people the current way didnt work properly)
possible to always have full NAND access no matter which IOS is
loaded currently
-fixed the sometimes again flashing wait message on game boot
-added some proper ISFS init and deinit methods with debug prints
the problem of the lagging wait message (since the wait message
doesnt take much wii power wiiflows speed should be the same)
-set down wait message stack and also removed the reallocation of
the stack again and again on every display of it
-added security check that the wait message thread is finished
before removing the thread (should prevent freezes)
-removed a few more unneeded lines of code
-now source menu looks for images in current theme folder first, then source_menu folder. All images must be named the same as what's in the source_menu.ini. If not found in either folder uses wiiflow's favorite star image.
-removed source menu exit button.
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
which has enough space left instead of fixed memory in most parts
-fixed alot of things about banner playing, now shouldnt randomly
codedump anymore or things like this, also some banner sounds
which did not play before should work fine now
-removed unused code and added better debug prints
-using some fixed voice for game banner and not always a new one
per banner
-fixed DIOS-MIOS cheats for sure now :P
-fixed possible memory allocation bug in wbfs alloc (thanks to
cfg-loader)
-removed MEM2_memalign since it did not work correctly
-fixed a few wrong memset sizes
-made wait animation faster
-removed a few unneeded lines in the wait message code
-fixed booting wii games from disc
-fixed possible bug in wii game launching in general
-gecko output again on wii game booting
-converted alot of spaces to tabs, fitting the general wiiflow
coding style
-general cleaning up things
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
-added BASIC jpg support (currently only for internal theme files
and only with the power of 4 dimension images)
-using dvdskin files in jpg format (you wont notice the diff)
-created new folder in resources for the original theme pngs
(@devs: if you update pictures and use jpg, place the original png
inside that folder that we have the original one just in case)
and set both a bit down
-changed a few little things about freetypegx unload
-since I dont care about size anymore the libs are now
in its original size again, makes wiiflow bigger but better
to handle
progress, thanks alot to dimok and the whole usb loader gx team
for help and the code for it!
To zoom the banner to fullscreen click the back button, to zoom out
the back button again, known bugs:
-some games fuck up the textures of buttons (e.g. wii play motion)
-if no wii game or channel was selected and you try to launch a game
or exit wiiflow it will most likely codedump
added Miigotu's game info synopsis and about fix.
added Miigotu's multichoice buttons fix - now button font size can be different than label font size.
changed game info genre to display the whole genre.
changed theme choice button to not display in uppercase.
sd card by reading the sd card directory (bit slower though)
-made list cache a bit smaller again by using more general
settings, dont forget to reload list cache
code and process, should be faster now, also the list cache should
take less space now
-using "types" instead of magic word now for internal detection,
faster and easier to handle
-prepared wiiflows code for custom coverflow which can have all
types together (nothing added yet)
* Moved lots of stuff from MEM1 to MEM2
* Made it possible to select partition for nand emulation (first time config)
* On clean install it will find valid emu nands if they are present in the default folder
* Fixed GameTDB for nand emulation
* Broke background music
* Probably even more
-moved this stupid now hide wait message debug print to less annoying
place
-wiiflow wants the dsp shutdown back, so I'll leave it in
-we shouldnt try to alloc mem1 after running apploader, just some
good advice before booting a game, should prevent codedumps
-sd file buffer can be mem1 too, we have enough left
-set mem2 usage to 49mb, thats everything we get anyways
-banner sounds should load faster now, also banner sound
in emulator coverflow when switching game should work again
-forcing check wait thread now on boot, not that the thread
is still working without noticing ;)
there was)
-fixed random game flickering on return to wiiflow, doesnt work
for everyone still ;)
-removed dsp deinit, dont see a reason for that anymore
approx are enough) also readded memory cleanup before booting
a wii game to make sure games work
-added some small check to see if path is valid, sometimes
it codedumped on game path check
-back to the entry point we had before
-set up cache to 32 again, seems to make wiiflow faster
-changed few things about memory management again
-made a few free safe again in code
-clearing screen properly now, no green screens or things like this
-added a few more low mem settings, fixed a missing flush in set
video mode (thanks dimok)
-partially clearing mem1 too now, using the code of cfg-loader for that
(thanks)
-using asm volatile instead of __asm__ to really call what we want
(thanks dimok for explaination)
-deiniting usb device properly
-shutting down system properly now on game boot, games should boot
more often now, its still not fully fixed
thingys and replaced it with their proper calls
-fixed some big memory bugs, downloading much covers shouldn't
be a problem anymore, also memory management should work better
-fixed typo in debug print on game boot, also changed some
things in apploader, making it ready to remove linker script
properly, still in but I hope not for long ;)
-modified wiiflow startup and init order a bit
only a few games in a coverflow view
-added new option to wiiflow.ini GENERAL section,
"cover_use_hq", if you set it to yes all your covers
will be displayed in HQ again, but will also slowdown
the loading and wiiflow in general
"http://gbatemp.net/topic/204106-wiiflow-an-open-source-gui-usb-loader/page__view__findpost__p__4176145"
for the nes, snes and gb,gbc and gba emulator mod needed for it. The games are read from the default
path of the emulators, that would be "fceugx/roms" for nes for example. To display the games, place the
emulator dol from the link above into wiiflow/plugins.
-using miigotus way for homebrew and emulator coverflow now, thanks for that, makes things shorter
* Added nanddumper functions (Nand dumper not enabled yet)
* Added an extended check for new installed games which is enabled by default
Since the check takes some time you can bypass the check by setting: 'extended_list_check' in GENERAL section of wiiflow.ini to 'no'
Todo: Add an extended check for removed games
* Fixed a bug ISFS_Initialize() was called before reloading to cIOS
* Fixed long wait time when installing a Wii game @ 100%
32k align by default now, compression without
32k still doesnt work properly
-fixed stupid bug which may deletes all your
games when deleting one game (thanks Miigotu)
-reverted video change of r154 for now
* Fixed gc_discHdr struct
* Updated aiff decoder to dimok's code (Thnx)
Todo for GC disc dumper:
* Add retry on read error
* Add skip on read error pos
* Add some more checks
*Download order:
- Original only = Box -> Flat
- Original/Original = Box -> Flat -> Alt box -> Alt flat
- Original/Custom = Box -> Alt box -> Flat -> Alt flat
- Custom/Original = Alt box -> Box -> Alt flat -> Flat
- Custom/Custom = Alt box -> Alt flat -> Box -> Flat
- Custom only = Alt box -> Alt flat
*It's now possible to download covers from a different language or region as set in the language string and you can select what languages or regions to check (Working, but unfinished)
* Added a check for GameTDB if an alternate or custom cover is available
* Fixed GameTDB code for getting the casecolor
* Gamecube is now also included in GameTDB (Thanks lustar)
* Reverted Catagories selection menu.cpp
* And probably some things i forget to list
* Fixed GameTDB
* Fixed cover colors the right way
* Added GameTDB support to Gamecube game headers
* Fixed a bug were gameconfig in COVERFLOW_USB only showed 1 config page after gameconfig in COVERFLOW_DML was entered
* Fixed text label for Video modus in DML gameconfig
* Some other minor bug fixes, cleanups and changes to gain more stability
NOTE: However FIX94 reverted some changes they shouldn't make you can see most changes I made for now are minor changes. I'll have to check more, but so far great job guys!
