- Wiiflow will automatically detect these and add the respective game lists to the plugin game list just like combined view via the source menu.
- these plugins can be selected via the 'plugin select menu' in 'main settings' or via a source btn on the 'source menu'.
- with these plugins the 'plugin select menu' can act like another source menu and they can easily be combined with all the other plugins of your choice.
- New Coverflow theme format. no more emuflow, coverflow, brewflow. now we have coverflow, shortflow, sideflow, and smallflow.
- coverflow is the normal coverflow.
- shortflow is automatically used for plugins if all selected plugins require a short CD style cover such as GB, GBC, GBA, and playstation. if there's more let me know and i can add them.
- sideflow is automatically used for plugins if all selected plugins require a cover on its side such as SNES and Nintendo 64.
- smallflow is used if smallbox is set for homebrew and sourceflow.
- no more need for emuflow= with a source btn in the source menu. it is done automatically now using the plugins magic#
- each flow has its own number of modes/layouts. so now coveflow can have 8, smallfow 1, sideflow, 6, and shortflow 4 or whatever you want.
- adjust coverflow works with no problems. just choose the view first before entering the adjust coverflow menu.
- other minor code changes here and there.
- remember themes are now in themes_lite and the coverflow part is seperated and put in the coverflows folder with the same name as the theme or you can use a default coverflow named default.ini for all themes.
-split coverflow config from theme config files.
-renamed theme folder to themes_lite folder because of the new format and to avoid conflict with wiiflow.
-made coverflows folder in themes_lite folder to hold the coverflow config files.
-coverflow configs must be named the same as the theme configs or you can make one default coverflow config (named default.ini) in the coverflows folder. Then if wiiflow can't find matching coverflow config it will use the default coverflow config.
-to create coverflow configs open a theme.ini file in a text editor (Notepad+) and search for brewflow and then copy from there to the end, create a new text file and paste, make sure the first line is empty, and save the file named exactly like your theme.ini and in the folder dev:/wiiflow/themes_lite/coverflows/
-why did i do this? 1. when you use wiiflow setting 'adjust coverflow' and save it will only save the coverflow part and not mess up your structure of your theme.ini. 2. because now with the default.ini coverflow you can have one set of coverflow layouts for all the themes.
-note: this is Phase 1. Phase 2 and 3 coming. :)
-cleaned up some code for emunand list and when using emunand for wii saves. might be a problem here or there but need to take a break and come back to this later. should work for now.
-removed setting emu paths and changing emu presets.
-added select nand setting on page 2 of nand emulation settings. nands must be in a subfolder of nands folder on root of device. example - dev:/nands/nand1, dev:/nands/nand2 etc..
-nand select also works for saves nand in wii view.
-nand emulation settings is only shown if in wii view or nand view.
-if no nand is found wiiflow will create a nand named default in the nands folder.
-rewrote coverloader code a little to make it easier to follow. but still couldn't fix it. honestly it appears there's nothing wrong. wiiflow just acts weird.
- Changed stub.bin to launch the new channel (WFLA) instead of the hidden channel (WIIH) which really wasn't needed. I think whatever Fix94 was going to use it for never got implemented so it was basically just a forwarder channel.
- If you have trouble returning to wiiflow lite when exiting a wii or nand game then make sure in wiiflow_lite.ini under GENERAL that 'returnto' is not set to WDFA. it should be WFLA.
- wiiflow lite still shares the wiiflow data directory with wiiflow for now.
- GENERAL hidechannels is now CHANNEL_DOMAIN disable because that's what it is for all the other domains. makes sense to me. :P
- GAMECUBE_DOMAIN always_show_button is now GAMECUBE_DOMAIN disable to match all the other domains.
- so now 'disable' for each domain means show or don't show that view except wii of course.
-cleaned up and rewrote some of the startup code.
-Note: This is cleanest and smoothest i've seen wiiflow run. I haven't even noticed any messed up covers.
-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
-you can use thp videos for plugins, just use the same name system like covers (the whole game name with extension for both thp and ogg), if wiiflow finds such a video it'll play it in plugin flow by default
-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
autoboot=ID
for channel, wii and gc game buttons or
autoboot=TITLE
for plugin and homebrew buttons.
Replace ID/TITLE with the game ID/Title you want to boot when clicking on the button of course.
-made our cover loader much safer (thanks ALOT seam for all the help getting that done)
-fixed a cleanup bug in cover png loading which might caused some memory leak
-added sourceflow
-added new source menu config menu access it via startup settings menu. Use it to enable source menu, sourceflow, source menu/flow on startup, multisource (source menu only), smallbox for sourceflow, and clear sourceflow cache.
To use sourceflow you will need to add title= to each source btn in source_menu.ini. Give each btn a title for coverflow to use. sourceflow will use the normal source menu icons or you can add the following folders to your source menu folder - full_covers, front_covers, and small_covers. the first 2 are obvious, the last one is for smallbox if you don't want to use the source menu btn images.
the clear sourceflow cache function is similar to reload cache. use it if you make changes to your covers or your covers aren't displaying correctly.
any questions just ask on gba or irc.
-optimized cover loading times when using hq covers
-fixed wrong game count in the top right corner when using b+minus to switch partitions
-fixed b+minus not working in channel view when no emu nand on a partition was found
-fixed left and right didn't switch pages anymore in the source menu if multisource is not enabled
-updated german.ini
-added autostart ftp server to the startup settings
-added a new section, the [FTP] one to the wiiflow.ini, containing settings like autostart, password, port and allow active mode transfers
-updated english.ini
Note: if you don't want to use it then leave everything alone and don't put any wads in the mios folder.
Note2: if you install a mios outside of wiiflow and use this feature be sure to set current_auto_mios = 0 under [DML] in wiiflow.ini
- Fix for combined view to work properly now
- Fix for last_view to work properly
- Fixed little mistake in explorer when switching emu nands
- removed elmstyle
-fixed the language download crash when trying to download the languages a second time
-added a back button to the language manager
-updated german.ini
