- added missing *BI2 = 0x817E5480; to Disc_SetLowMem() for wii games.
- added missing memcpy((void*)0x80001800, (void*)Disc_ID, 8); needed for debugger and ocarina cheats engine.
- fixed default setting for savegame emulation back to OFF (0). v5.5.0 and v5.5.1 new clean install's would set it to FULL (2) which caused wii games to crash on boot up. if you have this issue you can simply go to main settings>nand emulation settings and set it to OFF.
- changes to STexture::fromPNG() to hopefully clear up the out of mem issue when downloading and converting the cover png to a wfc cache file.
- v5.5.2
- fixed a minor issue when changing a plugins rom dir but then exiting the source menu via B button without selecting a source, it wouldn't reload the current coverflow but now it does.
- now when you have only the front cover image wiiflow will use that platform's custom blank cover image for the spine and back of the cover.
- made source menu setup menu's more noticable when you switch from select a source to selecting a plugin and back. before it was hard to tell you had moved to a new menu cause they look nearly identical.
- fixed crash when pressing 1/x or 2/y buttons (change coverflow layout) when no covers are loaded.
- fixed hiding the wait loading animation when using source menu on start.
- fixed exiting source menu on start via B button so covers show properly.
- fixed using homebrew icon.png's with transparency as covers for smallbox by restoring some old code I didn't understand. But ... sometimes the icon.png textures (.wfc) are saved as empty black boxes.
- if you get an empty black box for your homebrew cover image you can select the cover and click the 'X' delete icon. it will not delete your homebrew app but will instead delete the cover texture file (.wfc). Then you can do reload cache and hopefully your cover will be fixed.
- tried fixing cacheing covers after downloading them. works sometimes. It's a low free mem2 error if using rhapsodii shima theme and having a lot of games. if covers do not appear after downloading then i suggest rebooting wiiflow and doing reload cache first thing or switch to wiiflow's default theme and then download the covers and then switch back to rhapsodii shima theme.
- reverted change in 5.4.0 that may be the reason some users have issues loading games from sd card. especially on vWii.
- changed wiinertag to riitag and cleaned up code for it. More info here - https://gbatemp.net/threads/riitag-gamertag-for-wii-replacement-for-wiinnertag-and-dutag.559500/
- removed dutag
- changed optimmization from from -os to -o2 to hopefully compile better.
- other minor code cleanup.
- 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
- 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
