arcade rom clones are not included in the plugins database files to keep the files short. Any arcade rom clones you have will either not be found or will aquire the same ID and title as the parent rom when the CRC of the clone rom is included in the parent roms list of CRC's. you will need to manually edit both the CRC list file and xml database file to include the rom info on any clone you have in order for them to display the correct title and game info. i would think only a small handfull of your roms would be clones.
reload cache may take longer now to create the cached list. I found zipped roms for snes, nes, and others are no problem because even if the filename can't be found the crc does not need to be calculated. it is merely taken from the zip file which already holds the crc. on the other hand, half of my gba roms are unzipped with a gba extension. so my gba list takes 10 seconds or so to make because the crc of the unzipped roms does need to be calculated. mame roms use the filename but if it's a clone then it will calculate the crc of the rom zip file. thus any clones will slow things down unless you add them to the database files mentioned above. I imagine megaCD and PS1 cd games will be slow to reload cache. but at least you only need to do it once or whenever you add or delete a game.
wiimpathy's database files use the no intro naming convention. i'm not crazy about it because it moves any leading 'the' to the end preceded by a comma. in this case i use custom titles ini to put the title the way i want.
- added option to use theme subfolders for the backgrounds. put a folder named the theme in the backgrounds folders and put your images in it. these backgrounds will only load if using that theme.
- Fixed Nand Emulation from SD-card.
- Fixed "CheckSave" functions.
- Fixed feature to flash a save file from emulated NAND back to real NAND.
- Some minor code cleanups and bug fixes.
neek2o: (neek2o r93+ only)
- Fixed return to channel function for titles on emulated NAND
- Added an option in wiiflow.ini: launchwiiflow in "NEEK2O" domain
If this option is set to "no" the "exit to" option in home menu
will launch neek2o SM instead of the "DWFA" channel.
- If the return to channel option is set.. neek2o will return to
that specific title if that title exists on the emulated nand, even
if the title was launched from real NAND.
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
- 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
* Now if you click B on ExitTo menu it will go back to Home menu and not coverflow
* If parental lock is on, ExitTo will just exit and not show ExitTo menu anymore
* Now with home in ExitTo you can exit too
* Added/Deleted some sentences
* Updated english and italian translation
*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
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"
* Fixed GameTDB
* Fixed cover colors the right way
* Added GameTDB support to Gamecube game headers
* Fixed a bug were gameconfig in COVERFLOW_USB only showed 1 config page after gameconfig in COVERFLOW_DML was entered
* Fixed text label for Video modus in DML gameconfig
* Some other minor bug fixes, cleanups and changes to gain more stability
NOTE: However FIX94 reverted some changes they shouldn't make you can see most changes I made for now are minor changes. I'll have to check more, but so far great job guys!
