- fixed some missing cleanup when leaving wiiflow. in particular the pointer textures and closing the language ini.
- new way to handle the custom blank covers by Abz. blank covers now must go in wiiflow/boxcovers/blank_covers folder and must be named after their platform name via platform ini. they can also now be png or jpg.
- homebrew list is now cached again. if you add or delete an app you must do a reload cache.
- if you use the custom blank covers by Abz they now need to go in wiiflow/boxcovers/blank_covers folder.
- homebrew covers must go in wiiflow/boxcovers/homebrew for full covers or wiiflow/covers/homebrew for 2d front covers.
- now using a cache subfolder named homebrew for homebrew covers wfc files. to keep them separate from the game ID games.
- sourceflow now does cache covers the first time and any time you load a new tier. if the covers are already cached then you will only see the progress bar for a split second.
- other minor changes.
- one problem. when using small_box for homebrew covers it will use the apps icon.png and if it has transparency it will look like crap.
- removed the hard coded sideflow and shortflow.
- fixed using custom backgrounds whenever returning back to the game selected screen.
- added custom background cleanup to free the memory used by them.
- replaced adult only button on game selected screen with categories button.
- homebrew button is now restored as one of the quick launch buttons or accessible via source menu or plugin select menu.cpp
- adult only option now replaces the categories option of the game settings menu page 1 line 1.
- locking wiiflow no longer blocks homebrew access. you must use the adult only option for each homebrew app to block kids from accessing it.
- other minor code changes and fixes.
- 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 wfl_as_wiiflow splash image to display its image not the image for wiiflow lite.
- fixed wfl_as_wiiflow name display on 'home menu'. now displays as WiiFlow WFL.
- changed the font smaller.
- added developer:, publisher:, genre:, etc... before each item.
- made the rom info scroll-able if by any chance it doesn't all fit on the screen.
- made some adjustments to position of the images and fixed a little issue with setting the image texture position.
- need to fix the overlays for handheld consoles but personally i would rather just have bigger images and remove the overlays.
- moved 'mount sd only' to startup settings.
- added reboot when 'sd only' is changed.
- added GC banner sound options by einsteinx2 to page 11 of main config.
- changed and added a few gecko prints
- added notification messages when you delete a cover or banner on manager cover banner menu.
- download cover menu changes: title is now 'Downloads'. removed 'missing' button and changed 'all' to 'download' because there was no difference between all and missing. it always downloads missing covers. in the future i plan to add custom banners download which will download all missing custom GC banners.
- fixed issue #23 the progress bar and percentage when downloading covers.
- fixed issue #26 reload cache when using wii, gc, and channels plugins in plugin view.
-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
- 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.
- made the following fanart changes:
*fanart still auto displays
*only fanart shows. no cover and no game title and no buttons (play, back, favs, etc.)
*to stop and exit fanart press 'a' while pointer hand is on screen. if pointer hand is not on screen pressing 'a' launches game. pressing 'b' exits game selected screen and returns to normal coverflow. d-pad right and left still go to next or previous game.
*fanart can either play once or loop.
when play once is done it automatically clears fanart and returns to cover view.
with looping it will restart the fanart. looping is good for slideshows of game images.
looping and play once is determined by the setting "show_cover_after_animation". if set to no then looping is enabled. set to yes for only once.
plugin fanart goes in wiiflow/fanart/{coverfolder}/{gametitle}
replace {coverfolder} with the coverfolder= that's set in the plugin's ini file.
replace {gametitle} with title of the rom file without the extension.
the fanart ini file must match the {gametitle} you used for the folder.
add src_folder=x to each button. x is the number of the virtual folder this button belongs in. 0 is obviously the base folder.
add source=folder when you want a button to open a new virtual folder and folder=x to specify which new folder to open. in folders 1 and above you will need to make a back or up button to go back to the previous folder.
-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.
