- 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.
- 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.
-fix for issue #17 default theme name no longer all caps.
-fix for issue #16 channels type setting default text fixed.
-fix for issue #15, #14, #13 - all settings are fixed to show yes, no , on, off correctly
-fixed unused parameter warning in sys.c when compiling
-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
-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.
-in wiivc 'exit to' on home menu is now just 'exit'. to use the fix above. pressing home btn twice is also fixed.
-fixed the code menu for entering the parental lock code with the wiiu gamepad or any non IR controller.
-added access denied messages for startup settings and emunand settings if in wiivc. no need to mess with those in wiivc mode.
-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.
-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.
- re made it possible to use SD emunands with sNeek2o r96.
- added vwii r96 beta 9.6 support. wiiflow lite will now look for vwiikernal.bin and emunands must be in a subfolder of vwiinands on USB only.
- when exiting a emunand game using neek2o if on wii it will use the back2nand channel to return you to wii system menu or if on wiiu it will return you to wiiu system channel because returning to the vwii system menu isn't possible.
- when using wiiflow lite and exit to neek2o it will just launch neek2o system menu. from there you can launch wiiflow or wiiflow lite (if installed on emunand) to use cheats on a emunand game. otherwise cheats do not work when using neek2o to launch a game.
banner changes:
- now when moving from banner to banner the background music will not play and you will not see coverflow (for a second) when using full screen banners.
- now on game selected categories menu the banner will change when you change games using '+' or '-' buttons
- added custom banners for plugin games. no longer using trialer thp videos as banners for plugin games. put your custom banners in the custom banner folder plus the plugin cover folder and name them the same as the rom with extension plus .bnr just like how you do for the covers. to make a plugin game banner i suggest downloading one of abdallahterro's custom gamecube dios mios booter channels and use customizemii to change the images (and sound if you want). make sure the images match exactly the size of the one's already there. when changes are done extract the banner and rename it and put it in the proper folder as previously mentioned.
other changes:
- trailer videos still work even for plugin games. again for plugins rename the thp and ogg file to match the rom plus extension and .thp or .ogg. on game selected screen press '-' to start or quit a trailer video if one is available. pressing 'B' or 'Home' will quit the video and return you to the main screen.
- when flipping a cover none of the buttons are available and the mini banner is not shown until you press 'B' to de flip the cover to normal front view.
- fixed game info menu - in case a custom channel is selected and is not included in gametdb it will display a message 'no game info' instead of random stuff from the last game viewed. tested on wiiflow lite forwarder channel.
- now stopping sounds and music early when exiting wiiflow to prevent music from stuttering when exiting.
- other minor coding changes.
- added HBC 1.1.3 new ID OHBC. this allows wiiflow to use exit to HBC if you have the new one.
- switched HBC_JODI and HBC_HAXX to the correct DEFINE. they were switched wrong but it didn't seem to really have any affect.
- re added the Aspect Ratio option for Emu NAND games. seems it was set to only show for a wii game but now it will show for both wii and nand game. default is your consoles default. so for example if your console is 16:9 and your game doesn't look right try force 4:3.
- re organized the game settings menu to get all game setting options to show. this will make themes not display properly. themes will need to be edited.
- added gc default settings menu accessed via main settings pg3. pg3 no longer requires you to be in gc view to see them now. wish i had more time to add more default settings.
- addded partition settings menu in place of the single partiton selection on pg1. this means you don't have to select the source view first.
- fixed switching from full covers to smallbox covers in sourceflow and brewflow.
- updated the Help Guide to any new button controls (English only).
- updated the xml file.
- other minor theme and code cleanup
-removed vipatch, country patch, private server and cheats defaults from wiiflow.ini. no need for default/global setting for those options. they all default to off internally in wiiflow.
-now on file explorer menu pressing home btn returns you to device select so you don't have to keep backing up to get back to devices.
-fixed a few minor problems with game configs, especially gc games. now all game config options should work properly.
-now using bitwise operators and expressions on m_current_view to control which sources are selected. no more source= under each domain. just sources= under GENERAL.
-replaced ocarina option from main settings pg3 with channels type option. no need for a global/default ocarina setting. channels type allows you to select real, emu, or both channels types for channels coverflow. which means no more pressing B on config icon to cycle thru the choices.
-fixed a minor bug when downloading covers
-changed newid.ini to use only one domain name "[NEWID]". this fixes a possible problem when downloading covers and using newid.ini and multisource.
-added install wad option to nand emulation settings menu. I know you can do it via file explorer but this makes it easier for newbies to find. plus you can select which nand to install to.
-fixed extract game saves.
-fixed extract nand and install GC game by stopping music and controller input while doing these functions.
-Install wii game is broke. added a error msg stating this and keeping users from using it. funny the code is almost identical to usbloader gx which works and wiiflow doesn't.
-now showing all btns on game selected screen. if wiiflow is locked a error msg appears stating this.
-changed makeDir to make the whole path not just one folder. thanks to usbloader gx code.
-added .ciso extension to gamecube list maker so you can use them with nintendont.
-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.
-set wiiflow version to beta 4.2.2
-added another memory manager just for wii games and banners
-changed THP file playback, for sound you now need to have a ogg file with the same name, that fixes all audio shutters and crashes
-optimized THP file playback and JPG extraction alot, it should now work fine with 640x480 30fps without any crash or freeze anymore
-only use the internal wii aes hardware if we do have hardware access (should fix dolphin-emu and neek2o)
-(hopefully) made the gc installer and the wait message display safer
-code cleanup, removed some unneeded stuff
-increased our usable mem2 by 1mb
-speed up wii disc booting
-if booting from a wii disc and a general video mode is set, wiiflow will automatically use normal video patching to prevent game freezing
-added the vwii widescreen fix by tueidj (thanks alot for releasing that) and a vwii detection by crediar, thanks to his nintendont source
-added another neek check, may helps with older neek revisions
-replaced the "Disabled" hooktype by "AUTO", meaning it will automatically set the hooktype VBI for you if you want to use cheats but forgot to select a hooktype
-added debugger pause back, it will be automatically enabled if you just use debugger but no cheats (thx skidau for the small fix needed)
global settings under startup, it will only work with d2x v9 beta,
d2x v10 alt or hermes cIOS 5.0 or later, setting is saved in the
NAND save, so individual for every wii, wiiflow will reboot after
you change it
