- 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.
- changed the way coverloader checks for a matching cover .wfc cache file. coverloader still acts strange sometimes or occasionally causes DSI exception.
- 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.
- removed source menu on start
- added some comments to the main menu code so i can easily remember whats going on
- added pressing 'home' button during sourceflow to open sourceflow settings. sourceflow settings still WIP. only smallbox and clear cache work for now.
- simplified some main menu code.
- For GC games, pages 2 - 4 only show settings based on the gc loader selected on page 1.
- combined game language and video on page 1 to be used for all (wii, channels, and gc). no more seperate labels and buttons for GC.
- Seperated NMM and Nintendont emu memcard because nmm doesn't allow multisave. But they still use the same label and buttons.
- Note themes may have to be edited. gcloader up to line 2, native controls down to line 3, devo memcard up to line 1, and no dvd down to line 4.
- 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
-updated the app booter to be compilable with the current devkitppc, that means if you compile wiiflow it will from now on also compile the app booter
-fixed a little compiler issue for the new wiiflow loader
-plugins now also play videos which have the magic number as name if no specific video was found
-switched from libjpeg to the turbojpeg wrapper from libjpeg-turbo to simplify the whole jpeg decoding code by alot
-heavly optimized the video decoding code
-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
-set wiiflow version to beta 4.2.2
-added another memory manager just for wii games and banners
-changed THP file playback, for sound you now need to have a ogg file with the same name, that fixes all audio shutters and crashes
-optimized THP file playback and JPG extraction alot, it should now work fine with 640x480 30fps without any crash or freeze anymore
-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
-speed up wii disc booting
-if booting from a wii disc and a general video mode is set, wiiflow will automatically use normal video patching to prevent game freezing
-added the vwii widescreen fix by tueidj (thanks alot for releasing that) and a vwii detection by crediar, thanks to his nintendont source
-gave the wait message thread new variables and memory, this might fix the random forever loading bug
-increased the ftp server memory a bit to be most stable at some situations
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.

-added yet another security check to prevent crashes
-added a new SOURCEFLOW option, remember_last_item (enabled by default), if disabled and you use another sourceflow, wiiflow will not jump back to the previously selected flow but to the first one again
-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
-changed revision to Beta 4.2.1 (this rev is still 4.2 final but last time I forgot to rename the revision so)
-fixed text view sometimes not working properly
-fixed source menu didnt set the plugin partitions right
-added deletion of channels on emu nand
-added support for ftp clients request full path directory creations
-updated english.ini
-updated the ftp server gui side, now displays a few information on screen while the server is running so you can see a bit debugging information on screen
-added user labels for themes to the ftp server menu
-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
- all theme related source menu images and ini now need to go in a subfolder of wiiflow/source_menu/ and be named the same as the theme data folder. this keeps source stuff seperate from theme stuff.
- redid the code for menu_source making it more compact and smaller even with the new additions and shrunk menu_category a little.
- added background to wad installer menu
- made some small coding changes to source menu but still works the same
- updated english.ini
- fixed small wrap and unwrap coding problem for label text
- added changes made to explorer mentioned on gbatemp - mostly just theme related about user labels and stuff otherwise it still works the same.
-fixed the font bug if wiiflow finds a font of the same size it would ignore spacing and weight differences
-gave the file explorer the ability to bootup gc/wii iso/wbfs files
-you can now scroll through the explorer pages with +/- too
in the GENERAL section in your wiiflow.ini, do it like
custom_banner_url=http://www.example.com/{gameid}.bnr
{gameid} gets replaced automatically by the game id6/id3
-updated zlib from 1.2.7 to 1.2.8
-updated freetype from 2.4.10 to 2.4.12
-got back from libjpeg 8d to libjpeg 6b
-clean compiled tremor-lowmem lib
-removed some unneeded files
dolFile=usb1:/apps/snes9xgx/boot.dol as dol file path,
wiiflow will also load it from there, if you just specify for example
dolFile=snes9xgx.dol, wiiflow will add the plugin path to it to build like
usb1:/wiiflow/plugins/snes9xgx.dol for loading (issue 183)
-added another neek check, may helps with older neek revisions
-replaced the "Disabled" hooktype by "AUTO", meaning it will automatically set the hooktype VBI for you if you want to use cheats but forgot to select a hooktype
-added debugger pause back, it will be automatically enabled if you just use debugger but no cheats (thx skidau for the small fix needed)
banner sounds stopped working
-added plugin subfolder cache file creation to prevent overwriting
on same filenames based on the coverFolder option in plugin inis,
"subfolder_cache" in "EMULATOR" domain, enabled by default (thx
matt0620 for base patches)
in the plugin menu
-using the newly created sort function for covers too now so we dont
need to use two separate ones (covers should be sorted same way still)
this is now done on the fly by just selecting NAND as partition, of
course this function is still completely disabled for neek users ;)
-removed the ios and force cios load options from the ini so they
are only settable in the wiiflow startup menu from now on, that
should stop wiiflow with mixing up ini and nand save options
-added a ini option to disable the source menu, use_source (enabled
by default)
-finally added a "Back" button to the startup menu
are handled separately per player, so it cant happen that for
example the nunchuk button c gets interpreted as classic controller
button left anymore, this change might change the controls slighly
mark icon, it will boot something of the current coverflow
-made screenshot feature working with nunchuck/classic controller
too, just press Z/ZR
-updated the english.txt help
form, just use "MUSIC" as dol name in the plugin ini, here is a
example ini which loads up the default wiiflow music folder:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/25620767/music_player.ini
oh, and wiiflow only supports mp3 and ogg files
-added devo disc 2 checks for gamenames gam2.iso and disc2.iso, so now
we check for gam1.iso, gam2.iso and disc2.iso, if one of those ones are
found in the same folder as disc 1 then devo gets the info about it
global settings under startup, it will only work with d2x v9 beta,
d2x v10 alt or hermes cIOS 5.0 or later, setting is saved in the
NAND save, so individual for every wii, wiiflow will reboot after
you change it
patches work with devo r188 too, also if you enable wifi gecko for
wiiflow this option will be set in devolution as well
-updated english.ini and german.ini
Note: The All Plugins source option has been removed and choosing either nand button on mutiple selection loads the nand you last used (real or emu)
The categories_v4.ini had to also be slightly modified to work with this. It will now contain a single 'GENERAL' section which contains the number of categories and the name of each. A suggestion, I would use the first 20 for bostonbc's genres and ratings and the next ten or so for movie types(mplayerce) and the next ten or so for misc.
When using more than one source the partition selection and emu nand settings in config are disabled for now.
The source button on the main screen still works the same including the d-pad option.
Most of the credit for this goes to Fix94 for setting wiiflow up for this a long time ago. I just took the 80% of work he'd already did and finished by getting it to work with the source menu. Note there may be some issues.
boot, as soon as you boot wiiflow again/return to wiiflow you will
return to this view once, if you boot wiiflow again then you will
be back in normal wii games view until you boot another game
(disabled by default), before it always was used and now its
only done if you select this option, if you disable this option
you can enable video patches and whatever and they finally work
set it to no then wiiflow will use the "path" directory in [NAND]
section to return to neek, if you set it to yes then wiiflow will
not set any path to return to neek
loading up wiiflow is much faster if you use force cIOS load,
you can actually delete, move, copy or whatever the save directly
from the system menu like a normal game save (may more things will
be done in the future this way)
-changed "About" to "Credits" (yea Abz that should be)
-slightly modified the IOS handling on wiiflow boot, the IOS
gets reloaded to prevent a not working patching system and if
the main IOS (default 249) is found wiiflow will reload into it
-in the startup settings, display AUTO instead of 0
-added some security wait before init/deinit ISFS
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
-replaced the about button in coverflow with the wiiflow help
-added partition selection to the install game menu
-modified the pos of the go button (themers, update plz)
-new text for translators, "Install Game" in "home7"
-updated english and german ini
