- 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.
-fixed font glyph x spacing so letters like W no longer bleed into or look like they connect to the next letter. also fixes letters like j's. thanks to usbloader gx freetypegx code.
-changed some font sizing. but had to make button fonts in bold. if not bold then sometime's the text would fade out and be hard to read. something to do with the wiiflow button images being transparent. has no effect on non transparent buttons like carbonik abz theme.
-fixed wfl so time and date in games is correct. thanks aphirst!
-now unloading theme.ini from mem after all buttons and labels are created. this is possible since coverflow.ini is now seperate from theme.ini.
- other minor code changes and rem's put in for easier code decyphering.
-added 'noflash' arg for meta.xml if you don't want the flash screen image to appear. and no i can't make it load a image from a folder. it must be compiled in the code.
-added 'sdonly' arg for meta.xml for those of you that have everything on SD and hate the 20 second wait for wiiflow to search for usb devices. thanks einsteinx2!
-added meta.xml args support. meaning when a homebrew boot.dol or elf is launched the meta.xml (if exist) will be read for arguments and those args sent when the app is launched. this fixes the issue of custom wait images when changing themes.
-added spanish translation file 'spanish.ini'. thanks to ravmn for sending it to me!
-other minor changes, mainly remarks added for myself.
-recoded cheats download. it should work but geckocodes.org now uses some browser check which prevents downloads on wii. either manually download via pc or get abz's master pack which contains a lot of cheats.
-added comments and minor changes to wait message code.
-fixed downloading wiitdb.zip.
-downloading banners should work but no one has them hosted anywhere. larsenv has them hosted on github but its https which doesn't work. it must be http.
-downloading cheats broken still.
sidecovers = 513053xx
shortcovers = 51304dxx
the last 2 chars (xx) can be any hex char (0 - f). this is mainly for the quakegx mod plugin but can be used for other plugins that might need side or short covers provided they aren't already in use.
