will be created in your wiiflow/settings folder, as soon as the
crc32 is generated it will be saved in this file and simply
used the next time you download a cover. You also could generate
the checksums on pc and then add it to this file, that may be faster
than letting wiiflow generate it
sd card by reading the sd card directory (bit slower though)
-made list cache a bit smaller again by using more general
settings, dont forget to reload list cache
code and process, should be faster now, also the list cache should
take less space now
-using "types" instead of magic word now for internal detection,
faster and easier to handle
-prepared wiiflows code for custom coverflow which can have all
types together (nothing added yet)
'A' on home/exit icon restored to exit wiiflow
updated help file to show changes
changed Source menu button images size to 120 x 90. no need to redo current images they look fine stretched a little.
works with extracted nintendo games (collection is very small
but will grow) as soon as more covers come you can also download
covers for other systems, also added a new option to plugin inis
for this day already, "consoleCoverID"
-updated english help file (thanks seam for info)
* 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
if you click on some button, also if the cursor gets hidden
the position doesnt reset anymore if you move it again,
you can now use ZL and ZR on classic controller to fast scroll
through covers and switch between menu pages
-updated spanish.ini (thanks galen)
returns to wiiflow using the wiiflow loader channel if enabled,
added option to disable this too, return_to_wiiflow in HOMEBREW
section in wiiflow.ini
-added possibility to start movies via MplayerCE, use this ini:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25620767/mplayerce.ini
-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 ;)
there was)
-fixed random game flickering on return to wiiflow, doesnt work
for everyone still ;)
-removed dsp deinit, dont see a reason for that anymore
- 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
approx are enough) also readded memory cleanup before booting
a wii game to make sure games work
-added some small check to see if path is valid, sometimes
it codedumped on game path check
-using low mem setup of GX, because it got more expainations
what is what and works fine so why now ;)
-allocating memory to find partition dynamically now to prevent
the function from overwriting something maybe in wiiflow
-moved cheat file loading to mem2, because we cant just allocate
the memory *somewhere* as it was before
-categories should be found faster now (thanks yardape8000 for tip)
-we dont need to debug print if we set gecko debugging on or not :P
-back to the entry point we had before
-set up cache to 32 again, seems to make wiiflow faster
-changed few things about memory management again
-made a few free safe again in code
-clearing screen properly now, no green screens or things like this
-added a few more low mem settings, fixed a missing flush in set
video mode (thanks dimok)
-partially clearing mem1 too now, using the code of cfg-loader for that
(thanks)
-using asm volatile instead of __asm__ to really call what we want
(thanks dimok for explaination)
-deiniting usb device properly
-shutting down system properly now on game boot, games should boot
more often now, its still not fully fixed
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.
thingys and replaced it with their proper calls
-fixed some big memory bugs, downloading much covers shouldn't
be a problem anymore, also memory management should work better
-fixed typo in debug print on game boot, also changed some
things in apploader, making it ready to remove linker script
properly, still in but I hope not for long ;)
-modified wiiflow startup and init order a bit
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
Moved the following settings to [DEBUG] section, so people know they have nothing to do with normal wiiflow operation.
sd_write_log
wifi_gecko
wifi_gecko_ip
wifi_gecko_port
*Fixed NAND emulation itself
*Fixed creation of nandpath and title.tmd for some games
*Fixed extraction of game saves for some games
*Cleaned up some code for NAND emulation
*Cleaned up some more unused stuff
Todo:
*Cleanup NAND emulation code much more
*Move the last used function in savefile.c to a better place
*Add extraction and flash options to game config menu
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
only a few games in a coverflow view
-added new option to wiiflow.ini GENERAL section,
"cover_use_hq", if you set it to yes all your covers
will be displayed in HQ again, but will also slowdown
the loading and wiiflow in general
it broke it
@overjoy:
I tested the place where it was well enough, I tried to move
it but you can't, you need to set it directly if you want or not,
install plain mios v10 and you'll see there is no other way
- 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.
* Fixed game installer for Wii games on partitions with sector size other than 512
* Fixed removing Wii games (issue: 41)
* Cleaned up some useless stuff
* 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
emulator coverflow, for example in the fceugx.ini
set "coverFolder=fceugx", then wiiflow will look
into "wiiflow/boxcovers/fceugx" for covers instead
of "wiiflow/boxcovers", same goes for "wiiflow/covers"
- 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
* Added nanddumper functions (Nand dumper not enabled yet)
* Added an extended check for new installed games which is enabled by default
Since the check takes some time you can bypass the check by setting: 'extended_list_check' in GENERAL section of wiiflow.ini to 'no'
Todo: Add an extended check for removed games
* Fixed a bug ISFS_Initialize() was called before reloading to cIOS
* Fixed long wait time when installing a Wii game @ 100%
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
we have NMM installed and then cant use it because of stopped sd ;)
-changed gc launch a little bit, now also saves playcount of
gamecube disc and uses same video and language options
for gamecube discs as for dml
no_disc_patch, its enabled by default, that means
you don't need to have a disc inserted anymore when
playing gamecube games (requires dml r55 or later to work)
(per game option will follow)
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)
file found
-added possibility to cheat in gamecube games, currently
wiiflow gct cheats folder needs to be on sd card for this,
otherwise DML cant find them
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
* The GC Ex Dumper will now wait after the first read error so the user can eject the disc to clean it
* Added a check to the GC Ex Dumper that sees if the disc is ejected by accident
* Fixed free block/size calculation for GC Ex Dumper
* Fixed some thread messages
* Again some code cleanup and minor fixes
* Updated dutch.ini
* Updated english.ini
NOTE: The GC Ex dumper will only wait after the first read error. If the disc still contains errors after it's cleaned the dumper will stop the process or continue and lose the unreadable data in "skip on error" mode
you want to have the gamecube games in the usb folder
"ngc" you now also just need to set the ini to "ngc",
no need for "%s:/ngc" anymore (thanks r-win for few tips)
* 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)
gc game from usb to sd
-made the gc disc installer progress bar more
accurate too ;)
-deleting a gamecube game will now delete all
files found in the directory, more accurate lol
by default
-updated and cleaned up gamecube disc dumper, in
compressed mode it now shows the percentage of how
much wrote in size instead of the files wrote, this
avoids confusion why it freeze at some % and is more
accurate
reloading view even if its loaded is ok, not
that it breaks things like moving around for me
-increased gamecube dumper read buffer to 1mb like
cleanrip has, thanks emu_kidid for confirming its
faster :)
