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
what they do ;)
-fixed bug of game crashing when selecting progressive
as video mode (issue 94)
-updated german.ini
-updated english.ini
-updated theme default.ini
note: if you have the problem of overlapping options, then
its most likely a outdated default.ini, try updating to this
one and see if the problem is fixed
currently you can access the settings from it, see the about screen,
update wiiflow, reload cache and exit wiiflow (to exit wiiflow you
can also just press home/start button again in this menu)
-removed reload cache with b button on settings icon
-removed update button from about menu
-updated english help file and english.ini
-updated german.ini
* 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 ;)
- added options to move and hide buttons on source select menu
- use the new startup_menu.ini found here http://www.mediafire.com/?v262b5ulxigdaum
- more info will be on gbatemp
You can select an age from 2-19, where any game rated above is not displayed. It uses the age from the region of the game. 19 is all games. 2 is basically none, because the rating systems start at 3. This operates independently from the current per game lock, so you can still use both. Meaning both conditions have to allow the game, before it will display.
You can override the rating by creating an age_lock.ini file. Just add the id under the domain heading and set it to an age. To set Call of Duty: Black Ops to an age of 5 you would enter this:
[GAMES]
SC7E52=5
There is also an age_lock_default in the wiiflow.ini file under [GENERAL]. This will allow you to specify a default rating for games with no rating info.
Fixed bug where user selected IOS is never actually used, because the configuration file was unloaded before it gets there.
Fixed NAND paths being created with double "/"s. No real effect because they seem to be automatically reduced to a single "/"
Minor wifi-gecko changes to keep it alive close to the game launch.
*Added button to extract save from NAND to game config menu
*Added button to flash save to NAND to game config menu
*Fixed some buttons in game config menu
*Cleaned some unused code
*Moved some code to better places
plugin coverflow it will replace the nand emu button,
in this memu you can select which plugin should be displayed,
it will work no matter which sort is set, you can select more
than one emulator at the time of course
KNOWN ISSUE:
-background music is missing
- The main settings menu will now only update the coverflow if needed. This means pages 3-6 will return instantly.
- fixed typo in NAND saves text (exCisting). You may have to delete or fix "cfgne26" in your english language file to see the change.
* Made nand emulation kind of noob prove
* Wiiflow will search for a valid FAT32 partition if nand emu is enabled, but no partition is selected
* Wiiflow will now offer to extract the nand if nand emu is enabled, and no nand for nand emulation is available
* Wiiflow will now offer to extract a game save if nand emulation is enabled, a save is found on real nand and no save is found on emu nand.cpp
* Illegal chars for FAT are now escaped the 'd2x' way in the nand file extractor
TODO:
* Add nand extract functions to game config menu's
* Add feature to flash a save back to real nand
- Have disabled '1' & '2' mode switching while in emu mode and homebrew mode so emuflow and brewflow have only one mode and coverflow has 15 still.
I'll leave it up to Fix94 how many modes he wants each view to have. Fix94 you may want to tweak and fine tune this - it's just a temp solution for now.
dol name, rom path and everything else needed from a ini in the wiiflow/plugins
folder, see http://www.mediafire.com/?kj6dalp2ly3y35j for the currently 4
emulator mod inis.
"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
in the time I wasnt at home some other person commits something ;)
However I'm back so lets get back to work
-added a few DML video modes, PAL60, NTSC480p, PAL480p, work with
DML r52+
-updated english.ini
-updated german.ini
With this feature it's possible to temp change the region of your Wii console. This makes it possible to play those one region only games that wouldn't play on other region consoles.
Some games that work now are for example:
The Amazing Race (didn't play on PAL consoles)
Hollywood Squares (didn't play on PAL consoles)
Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard (didn't play on NTSC consoles)
The feature is now working for Wii games if FULL nand emulation is enabled. The Regionswitch only emulation mode is written for and will only work with a yet unreleased feature of davebaol's d2x cIOS
* Updated english.ini
* Updated dutch.ini
Other languages have to change also again :P
a global option, so if set to default it will use the
setting from wiiflow.ini called dml_nmm in DML section,
0 means disabled, 1 means enabled and 2 means debug)
-nand emu is now for sure compatible with d2x v9+ :P
-updated english.ini
-updated frensh.ini (thanks Jiiwah), italian.ini (thanks
xFede) and japanese.ini (thanks hosigumayuugi)
(3 language updates don't contain new NMM options)
game (better for the sd card), requires DML r52 or newer
to work properly
-added new option in [DML] section, "dml_r52+", you
can set it to no if have a older DML version or want
to use the old boot.bin method instead to launch a gc game
* Fixed progress bar for games that come with 2 discs
* Dumper now uses a much smaller buffer when "skip on error" mode is on
* Added __WaitForDisc function to cleanup a lot of code
* Cleaned up some more
gamecube games on usb, its a new config entry
in DML section, dir_usb_games, default is the
"games" folder. If you want for example "ngc",
change the value to "%s:/ngc". (issue 19)
-added possibility to copy gamecube games from
usb to sd card, after copy process game will be
started (copy takes 5-10 minutes) (issue 12)
-added possibility to install gamecube games
to usb fat partitions
-fixed game name not displayed in delete game dialog
-changed naming scheme of partition name in top-right
corner in coverflow, now looks like DML [USB1], name
depends on view
- Added retry on read errors
- Added skipping on read errors
- Added pos to compress data
- Added pos to align all files by 32k
- Dumper will now only dump game.iso on default
- Now using drivebay led to show disc reading activity
- Now checking if game already exists before dumping it
Configuration of the dumper:
Set the following vars in wiiflow.ini (domain: DML) to config the dumper:
- skip_on_error=yes/no to enable/disable error skipping (default = no)
- compressed_dump=yes/no to enable/disable compressed dumping (default = no)
- write_ex_files=yes/no write ex files yes/no (default = no)
- align_files=yes/no to align all by 32k yes/no (default = no)
- num_retries=# were # = the amount of read retries the dumper should perform before it marks the block as bad on read errors
