- added nintendont video width scale and video offset position options per game. you can set global defualts in wiiflow_lite.ini under [GAMECUBE] as nin_width and nin_pos. width can be 0(auto) or 40 to 120 and position can be -20 to 20 (0 is center normal).
- added patch pal50 option per game for Nintendont.
- removed devolution mount and unmount to speed up loading of devo gc games. not sure why they were there.
- properly fixed nintendont video setting. last commit worked but on my tv with component cables and wii in progressive mode it would always switch to interlace then back to progressive when nintendont started and then back to interlaced when the actual game started. now it just switches to interlaced when the actual game starts unless im forcing progressive.
- fixed nintendont gc disc launching and wii disc launching to use gameconfig2 settings. seems when launching a disc gameconfig2 wasn't loaded and thus no game settings were used. you should be able to use cheats with disc launch now.
- added option to set game settings for a disc launch prior to the actual disc launch. just hold 'B' and press 'A' when selecting the disc icon to access settings menu before launch. just press 'A' to launch disc immediately.
- removed 98% of the gap between unloading a banner and displaying the new banner in game selected menu. old way would momentarily show the game covers and play the background music. now there's only a very small chance you will even see the covers or hear the background music.
- fixed using force progressive patch for nintendont. so when you select a 480p or pal480p video mode it actually turns on progressive mode. only works on certain games just like nintendont. tested on rampage total destruction and working.
- fixed led option for nintendont. seems the setting was there in game settings but was not used when launching a game.
- added skip IPL option per game. used to skip the GC or triforce BIOS if you have it installed. some games may not work with the BIOS so you can set those to skip it.
- added wiimote CC rumble option per game. this works only with wii CC or CCpro and will only make the wiimote vibrate in case you didn't know.
- auto set native control and led to off if on Wii U. they only work on Wii.
- WiiFlow Lite now ALWAYS uses Nintendont Args config and only work with nintendont v3.358+.
- removed USB HID option since nintendont auto detects usb controllers since v3.304+
-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
-Readded the code to paths to be able to change the path where Wii and GC games are kept. But they really should just be kept in dev:/wbfs and dev:/games.
-wiiflow_lite.ini changes under [GAMECUBE] are:
removed video_setting= - was used to tell wiiflow when using DML or Nintendont to set cfg args for video mode. not needed anymore.
dir_usb_games= - is now - gc_games_dir= with default of %s:/games similar to wii_games_dir
dm_widescreen= - is now - widescreen=
screenshot= is removed. was used for DML
wiiu_widescreen= is added. but only used if on a Wii U
-gameconfig2.ini changes as well.
-NMM and DML is still used in theme ini files. may change in a commit soon but that means all themes have to be modified, a big pain in the butt.
-language and help files will need to be updated to remove all DML and NMM crap.
-and default names of images for some icons and btns need to be changed but for now left them as they are.
-other minor changes. Most of it untested so I hope it all works, if not then repair commits will follow.
- private server
- sicksaxis to be able to a ps3 controller in wiiflow
- support for the latest nintendont with argsboot
- other minor changes that i may or may not change soon.
- credit to Abz, Airline38, and anyone else who helped with coding.
-nintendonts memory card emulation is now enabled by default
-if using a wiiu wiiflow will now automatically use nintendont or devolution instead of the MIOS to boot gamecube games by default
-fixed the bug that wiiflow did not display gamecube games even if nintendont is available
-added yet another security check to prevent crashes
-added a new SOURCEFLOW option, remember_last_item (enabled by default), if disabled and you use another sourceflow, wiiflow will not jump back to the previously selected flow but to the first one again
-added devo disc 2 checks for gamenames gam2.iso and disc2.iso, so now
we check for gam1.iso, gam2.iso and disc2.iso, if one of those ones are
found in the same folder as disc 1 then devo gets the info about it
patches work with devo r188 too, also if you enable wifi gecko for
wiiflow this option will be set in devolution as well
-updated english.ini and german.ini
-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
enabled wiiflow will always reload to the cIOS even if a normal
IOS with AHBPROT is found (disabled by default)
-enabled skip_list_check by default
-cleaned up a bit
-WIP commit for wii game/channel booting, now uses a internal
extra dol file to boot wii games and channels, that should be a
better way to fix game and channel booting
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
-devolution will now return to wiiflow using the hidden channel
-added megazig to thanks list
-allocating memory for devolution instead of using a fixed position
(seems to work just fine now)
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
- If a 2 disc GC game is launched with Devolution, tell Devolution the location of the 2nd disc*
* Use Wiiflow's game installer to backup your GC game
- Made check for Devolution more safe
- Added some neek2o magic (neek2o r90+ required*):
* Added an exit option to neek2o
* Added an option in gameconfig menu to launch vc/ww titles from wiiflow nand emulation in neek2o instead of cIOS
enabled by default, with the option enabled it will use cfg version
2 for dm 2.1 or higher, if disabled it uses cfg version 1. It will
be ignored if dml_r52+ is set to no since that uses the old boot.bin
method then
if we boot homebrew and devolution
-fixed stupid bug which may made a problem with devolution (thanks
stfour for finding it)
-dont init mload on waninkokos cIOS which is older than r18
display gamecube coverflow button still
-added possibility to set diosmios video patching way,
video_setting in wiiflow.ini [DML] section, if set to 0
it will disable all video settings of diosmios, if set to 1
it will use the auto setting (default) and if set to 2 it
will force the video mode
and place the loader.bin into your wiiflow data folder, wiiflow
will automatically find the binary and use devolution to boot
the gamecube game (only works with iso files, games extracted
with gcreex doesnt work)
