-fixed gametdb memory management, now you can reload cache as
often as you want, read synopsis as often as you want without
wiiflow codedumping or freezing anymore after a few
- added custom missing covers support. Totally optional - without them wiiflow will display the usual blank question marks or theme related ones just like normal. Does not affect downloading covers or manually putting covers in wiiflow's cover folder. Wiiflow still checks for the cached cover first, then the box cover and flat cover, but before displaying the usual blank question mark ones wiiflow now looks for these custom missing covers.
Put your custom missing covers in your normal wiiflow boxcovers folder with all the other wii game covers. Rename them to the magicnumber.jpg and for non plugins - wii.jpg, channels.jpg, gamecube.jpg, and homebrew.jpg. You have to use jpg's when using this default method.
For theme related cover images still put them in your normal wiiflow boxcovers folder and rename them if necessary. I recommend adding the theme name and underscore as a prefix to the image name. Then add the following to your theme.ini modifying it to your liking. Note when using theme related cover images they can be png's.

at least something here to show we're not dead how some people asked :P
-sync with 4.0.3
-changed version number to Beta 4.0.4
-fixed bug that force_cios_load broke the wiimote pointer in wiiflow
-added support for wiiflow internal boot method in neek2o,
so you can use cheats, debugger etc if you boot channels in neek2o
(doesnt work if you are in real nand and just select boot neek)
- Fixed creation of the playlog
- Fixed and changed the way Wiiflow checks for neek2o (uneek2o r92 beta 12+ req)
- Fixed IOS reloading for Wii games in neek2o mode
- Added a small delay in booting a Wii game in neek2o mode
cheats, save emu, nsmbw + pop patch, wanin cios and hermes cios,
and return to wiiflow again (works here with d2x again)
-fixed some important stuff in wiiflow itself, less corruption
of the dol and more static stuff to get it back to stability
-set optimize level of booter from -Os to -O1
-added back name addition for gamecube game disc 2
-made gprintf, fmt and sfmt a bit more safe
-removed unneeded char for list check, just wastes memory
images
-changed list stuff a bit again, it'll take more mem now but
therefore it shouldnt slowdown when having alot of folders
@devs
-added crc32buffer, if you wanna know if the content is OK just
crc32 it :P
for the db files but its plugin magic to prevent double entries
because of same paths for alternative plugins
-removed some annoying debug prints yet again
all previous INIs cant boot any games until you add those lines:
For fceugx, genplusgx, wii64, snes9xgx, vbagx and wiimednafen add:
"arguments={device}:/{path}|{name}|{loader}"
For mplayerce and not64 (havent tested yet) add:
"arguments={device}:/{path}/{name}"
And for scummvm add:
"arguments={name}"
You can also remove the "ReturnLoader" line from the INIs.
Any magicword for scummvm and mplayerce is accepted now, just
make sure in scummvm the "romdir" is still "scummvm.ini".
-added new option to wiiflow.ini [GENERAL] section,
"display_music_info" (enabled by default), if you disable it the
information on top of the screen if music got changed will be hidden
-recompiled mload modules for hermes cIOS
-added sdhc module for hermes cIOS
-fixed booting wii games from sd card
-improved wii game support via sd card, now you can use hermes, wanin
and d2x (not d2x only anymore)
-moved some more stuff to boot wii games into the external booter
-added gecko debug prints to external booter
-automatically disabling savegame emulator if you want to boot a wii
game via hermes or waninkoko cIOS
-set down wiiflows entry point from 0x80A00000 to 0x8062000
(saves ALOT of MEM1 for lists etc, so wiiflow should be able to read
in alot of more games in for example plugin coverflow)
-recompiled libjpeg
-removed alot of annoying debug prints
-made the trailer code faster
dpad
-fixed a bug when pointer gets on screen and some option is selected
via dpad and pointer gets off screen again that the dpad setting was
completely fucked up
-only enable scrolling through settings with dpad if no pointer is
on the screen (to not confuse wiiflow)
-alternative way of booting game with pressing A and pointer not
on screen (for some people the current way didnt work properly)
- replacing strings of 0's and 1's with ASCII characters 33 on up. So if you have a game in category 1 and you have 20 categories, instead of 110000000000000000000 all you will see is ! (ASCII character 33) which is way shorter and will take wiiflow much less time to read. Also if a game isn't in any category there will be nothing after the = .
- also added categories for individual plugins. Wiiflow checks to see if only one plugin is selected and if so then uses the categories for that one plugin. So for example you can have categories for your movies when you only use the mplayerce plugin.
-Fixed favorites_on_startup. renamed it save_favorites_mode. defaults to off. set to yes and wiiflow will remember if favorites was on or off for each view/mode. Still can be set on page 4 of config menu.
-Fixed favorites and parental lock for plugins. Parental lock might come in handy for movies.
-And restored save for categories_v4.ini on exit of wiiflow
- 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.
- now you can have as many categories as you want.
- copied the idea of selected, hidden, and required categories from USB Loader GX. Thanks Cyan. Checkmark = selected, X = Hidden, and + = Required.
- redid categories.ini layout and renamed it categories_v4.ini so you can copy and paste settings from the old one to the new one. Each view (USB,DML,EMU,NAND,HOMEBREW) has it's own numcategories, category names, and category settings. All games are now seperated based on the view. Don't forget to add 1 to numcategories for the show All mode.
- Replaced All checkbox with CLEAR button which clears all checkboxes so no category is selected and all games will be shown.
- Added features to the Game Selected Categories Menu. Now the title is the title of the current game. You can now press plus(+) and minus(-) on wiimote to go to the next or previous games without going back to previous screen making it easier to setup categories for your games.
- note: all changes will not be saved in categories_v4.ini unless you exit wiiflow or launch a game.
-fixed banner was not automatically hiding in gametdb, delete game question, copy game from usb to sd question, trailer and favourites settings
-cleaned up some stuff again
-fixed installing gamecube disc 2 with wiiflow installer
-fixed exit to neek2o for people who got their nand in a folder
-some general cleanup and speedup
enabled wiiflow will always reload to the cIOS even if a normal
IOS with AHBPROT is found (disabled by default)
-enabled skip_list_check by default
-cleaned up a bit
-if a IOS is found which got the AHBPROT patched out, wiiflow will
run on it (for example if you boot wiiflow via HBC, it will boot
with IOS58 instead of 249)
-on game boot or on entering emu nand, wiiflow automatically reloads
IOS if necessary
-added check to only reload IOS if its really a different one
-removed SD card gecko log buffer allocation, using some
buffer in dol directly (should allow longer logging, untested)
-set wiiflow optimize level back to -O2
it wiiflow will not check for new games on boot, that will speed up
bootup amazingly for people with alot of wii games (disabled by def)
-disabled extended list check by default
possible to always have full NAND access no matter which IOS is
loaded currently
-fixed the sometimes again flashing wait message on game boot
-added some proper ISFS init and deinit methods with debug prints
