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.
-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
- removed the setting data_on_usb. now your dev:/wiiflow folder must be on the same device/partition as the apps folder. which i'm 99.9% sure most users do.
- added sd_only setting. no need to set it unless for some reason it gets set to true and you have usb hdd you want to use.
-updated libcustomfat and libvorbis thanks to GreyWolf
-updated libturbojpeg thanks to Fix94
-fixed cheat menu so cheat names with apostrophe's display properly
-fixed wii u widescreen option in game config menu. should properly work now. thanks pBullet!
-added a fix for coverflow titles display when coverflow has 3 or more rows. for some reason 3 or more rows caused the title to display improperly.
-removed **disabled** message from source menu. no need for it - was a stupid idea. if you don't want it to display then remove it from your source menu or don't add it. when a view is disabled in wiiflow_lite.ini then only that view icon is disabled from showing on the main menu screen.
-removed titles.ini which wasn't really used except for displaying the return to channel in settings. I googled it and nothing really showed up. it seemed to be the same as custom_titles.ini - it seemed useless.
-removed cacheing sourceflow list. the list is never big enuff to worry about cacheing. plus if you add or remove source btns you won't have to reload cache for the changes to take effect.
-removed max_source_btns from wiiflow_lite.ini - added code to get highest source menu btn so now source menu can have as many buttons as you like.
-removed Manage Languages Menu - restored option to just change wiiflow language. no need for downloading languages and the google link didn't work anyway. when i make a pack all the languages will be included.
-added flat cover options for sourceflow and homebrew view. can be turned on/off via their config menu's accessed via 'HOME' btn.
-added config menu for homebrew view - press 'HOME' btn while in homebrew view to access it. config menu options are - switch apps partition, adjust coverflow, smallbox on/off, and flat covers on/off.
-updated config menu for source menu/flow. options include - sourceflow on/off, adjust coverflow, smallbox on/off, flat covers on/off, and for source menu only - multisource on/off.
-added coverflow layouts/versions for individual plugins - which means each plugin can have its own coverflow layout without affecting the others.
-set HQ cover to default to ON
-made it so coverflow doesn't reload every time you access another menu or change favorites or whatever.
-added error messages to game and app launching if any of the bin files needed for launching are missing. previously whenever these errors occurred wiiflow would just exit without the user knowing why. Now the error message should display before exit so the user has an idea what went wrong. had to move cleanup() back some for the errors to show. hopefully that doesn't cause out of mem issues for users with large game collections.
-added error messages to game config menu. now all config options will show but if you can't use it then a error shows telling you. such as 'use neek2o' will be available but if you set it to on and neek2o isn't installed then an error message shows. added error msgs for extracting and flashing saves too.
-added show_mem=yes/no option to wiiflow_lite.ini under [DEBUG]. manually edit wiiflow_lite.ini to turn it on/off. if set to 'yes' wiiflow will show how much free mem is available on screen. no need to compile wiiflow for this option anymore.
-cleaned up some of the boot up code.
-starting a random game - just hold 'B' and press '-'. no longer press'B' on config or question mark icon and no need to allow it in wiiflow_lite.ini
- 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.
-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.
a cios and which cios you want to force load (0 means the default)
-hopefully fixed most network init problems when doing a ios reload
-updated english ini
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
added Miigotu's game info synopsis and about fix.
added Miigotu's multichoice buttons fix - now button font size can be different than label font size.
changed game info genre to display the whole genre.
changed theme choice button to not display in uppercase.
- 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.
