- changed the order of bootup settings
- (wii and GC) changed prefer_usb to preferred_partition. defaults to -1 (not used), else 0(sd), 1(usb1), 2(usb2) etc...
- beta 9
- added 'no SSL only' as a private server choice (issue #217). this allows you to patch games on your own with other wifi server url's besides wiimmfi.
- added private server as an option for nand wiiware games.
- added 480p pixel patch as option for nand wiiware/vc games. seems to only work if apploader is set to ON. loading via main dol is broke for the time being.
- hopefully removed split second green screen when sourceflow on startup is used.
- fixed startup for wiivc (although untested).
- made changes to cios loading on startup.
- fixed if wiiflow fails on startup to not exit to HBC unless booted from HBC.
- fixed setting scummvm cover's color via plugin
- now scummvm list is cached like all the other lists. but still does not use custom titles or titles from the plugins data xml.
- fixed the random bug where covers sometimes were not cached.
- fixed minor memory leaks via gametdb.cpp
- fixed an issue with using custom backgrounds via source menu.
- added the ability to move to next and previous game while on game info menu by using the controllers '+' and '-' buttons
- added the ability to launch a game directly from the game info menu by pressing 'A' on the controller.
- added the abilty to launch super smash bros melee via nintendont slippi. manually edit wiiflow_lite.ini by adding use_slippi=yes under [GAMECUBE]. google nintendont slippi and slippi project to learn about it.
- upped to version 5.4.1
- added prefer_usb option for Wii and GameCube games. when set to yes their partition will be set to USB if USB is connected otherwise set to SD.
- possible fix for homebrew and plugin dol launching by moving ShutdownBeforeExit after loading IOS 58.
- 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]
- 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.
- removed the hard coded sideflow and shortflow.
- fixed using custom backgrounds whenever returning back to the game selected screen.
- added custom background cleanup to free the memory used by them.
- 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.
- added notification messages when you delete a cover or banner on manager cover banner menu.
- download cover menu changes: title is now 'Downloads'. removed 'missing' button and changed 'all' to 'download' because there was no difference between all and missing. it always downloads missing covers. in the future i plan to add custom banners download which will download all missing custom GC banners.
- 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.
