- fixed source menu/flow to remember tier filenames and the last selected button from each tier. tier names and button numbers are saved in wiiflow_lite.ini under [SOURCEFLOW] so when you return to wiiflow everything will be as it was when you left.
[GAME/SNAP] is the snapshot. width and height are just random numbers. wiiflow sets those. and the texture is of course set by wiiflow. the x and y are the upper left and the only thing to worry about.
[GAME/OVERLAY] is the snapshot overlay for handhelds. same info as [GAME/SNAP]
[GAME/SNAP_BG] is used for 2 things.
1. the dimensions of the window inside the frame. (x,y,width,height) used so wiiflow can center the snapshot.
2. the texture of the window inside the frame. wiiflow has it set to a transparent image. but you can make and use a solid colored image if you like.
the frame is still [GAME/USER4]
- #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.
- fixed some missing cleanup when leaving wiiflow. in particular the pointer textures and closing the language ini.
- new way to handle the custom blank covers by Abz. blank covers now must go in wiiflow/boxcovers/blank_covers folder and must be named after their platform name via platform ini. they can also now be png or jpg.
- homebrew list is now cached again. if you add or delete an app you must do a reload cache.
- if you use the custom blank covers by Abz they now need to go in wiiflow/boxcovers/blank_covers folder.
- homebrew covers must go in wiiflow/boxcovers/homebrew for full covers or wiiflow/covers/homebrew for 2d front covers.
- now using a cache subfolder named homebrew for homebrew covers wfc files. to keep them separate from the game ID games.
- sourceflow now does cache covers the first time and any time you load a new tier. if the covers are already cached then you will only see the progress bar for a split second.
- other minor changes.
- one problem. when using small_box for homebrew covers it will use the apps icon.png and if it has transparency it will look like crap.
- replaced adult only button on game selected screen with categories button.
- homebrew button is now restored as one of the quick launch buttons or accessible via source menu or plugin select menu.cpp
- adult only option now replaces the categories option of the game settings menu page 1 line 1.
- locking wiiflow no longer blocks homebrew access. you must use the adult only option for each homebrew app to block kids from accessing it.
- other minor code changes and fixes.
- fixed wfl_as_wiiflow splash image to display its image not the image for wiiflow lite.
- fixed wfl_as_wiiflow name display on 'home menu'. now displays as WiiFlow WFL.
- changed the font smaller.
- added developer:, publisher:, genre:, etc... before each item.
- made the rom info scroll-able if by any chance it doesn't all fit on the screen.
- made some adjustments to position of the images and fixed a little issue with setting the image texture position.
- need to fix the overlays for handheld consoles but personally i would rather just have bigger images and remove the overlays.
- moved 'mount sd only' to startup settings.
- added reboot when 'sd only' is changed.
- added GC banner sound options by einsteinx2 to page 11 of main config.
- changed and added a few gecko prints
-fix for issue #6 - now setting 'return to' to 'disable' will properly disable it.
-fixed a few strncpy's to make sure the last char is '/0'. to prevent any string overflow even though it shouldn't happen.
-other code cleanup
- removed the setting data_on_usb. now your dev:/wiiflow folder must be on the same device/partition as the apps folder. which i'm 99.9% sure most users do.
- added sd_only setting. no need to set it unless for some reason it gets set to true and you have usb hdd you want to use.
- 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.
-had to remove wii drive light flashing during wait animation. even though i added NULL to nanosleep() it caused wiiflow lite to freeze right when the wait animation was to start. when i removed it everything works fine. besides the wii u doesn't have a disc slot light.
-note - strangely going from ppc r30 to r32 wiiflow lite boot.dol grew about 24k. also somehow ext_booter.bin is now marked as changed but i don't know what's different.
-fixed font glyph x spacing so letters like W no longer bleed into or look like they connect to the next letter. also fixes letters like j's. thanks to usbloader gx freetypegx code.
-changed some font sizing. but had to make button fonts in bold. if not bold then sometime's the text would fade out and be hard to read. something to do with the wiiflow button images being transparent. has no effect on non transparent buttons like carbonik abz theme.
-fixed wfl so time and date in games is correct. thanks aphirst!
-now unloading theme.ini from mem after all buttons and labels are created. this is possible since coverflow.ini is now seperate from theme.ini.
- other minor code changes and rem's put in for easier code decyphering.
-added 'noflash' arg for meta.xml if you don't want the flash screen image to appear. and no i can't make it load a image from a folder. it must be compiled in the code.
-added 'sdonly' arg for meta.xml for those of you that have everything on SD and hate the 20 second wait for wiiflow to search for usb devices. thanks einsteinx2!
-added meta.xml args support. meaning when a homebrew boot.dol or elf is launched the meta.xml (if exist) will be read for arguments and those args sent when the app is launched. this fixes the issue of custom wait images when changing themes.
-added spanish translation file 'spanish.ini'. thanks to ravmn for sending it to me!
-other minor changes, mainly remarks added for myself.
-recoded cheats download. it should work but geckocodes.org now uses some browser check which prevents downloads on wii. either manually download via pc or get abz's master pack which contains a lot of cheats.
-added comments and minor changes to wait message code.
-updated libcustomfat and libvorbis thanks to GreyWolf
-updated libturbojpeg thanks to Fix94
-fixed cheat menu so cheat names with apostrophe's display properly
- fixed gc ciso games to show and launch via WFL. thanks CokeCookie for getting me to fix it. note banners do not show for ciso games unless you use a custom gc banner.
- added (for wii u vwii) to be able to select Wii U channel as the exit to choice either via main cfg pg 4 exit to option or home menu>exit to menu and select wii u menu.
- removed priiloader and bootmii as exit to options when on wii u vwii
- added random select game option. manually edit wiiflow_lite.ini and under [GENERAL] set "random_select" to yes then while in wiiflow lite main screen hold B and press '-' to have WFL random select a game instead of random boot a game.
- removed region change from savenand emulation types. why? because according to overjoy's commit he said it didn't work yet. it was for a future version of d2x cios when davebaol added it to d2x cios. i looked at all the d2x cios commits from that date to present and didn't see that it was ever added. if i'm wrong someone let me know and i will add it back into wfl.
- made some small bootup changes in case of errors on bootup.
- made some changes to the way wiiflow lite handles emunand switching and other minor emunand code editing.
