- 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.
-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
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
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
-WIP commit for wii game/channel booting, now uses a internal
extra dol file to boot wii games and channels, that should be a
better way to fix game and channel booting
currently loaded cIOS instead
-fixed bug of missing remount if no games are found with enabled
NAND emulation which made wiiflow hang
-added information for neek2o
-removed ios reload on boot when wiiflow is in neek2o mode
-made NAND file extraction MEM2 only
-fixed two not free'd memory allocations which could fill the
memory with unused stuff
problems or blackscreens (test it please)
-changed play button in full screen banner back to the right side
(jiiwah, why you changed that? It's right in the system menu)
-moved a few debug prints, also added disc id check for wii games
playing from a wbfs partition (before it just checked on fat32,
ntfs and ext2 if the readed in disc is correctly opened from cIOS)
-made ogg lib using MEM2 only (as we did in the previous update
with the sound buffers)
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
-devolution will now return to wiiflow using the hidden channel
-added megazig to thanks list
-allocating memory for devolution instead of using a fixed position
(seems to work just fine now)
which has enough space left instead of fixed memory in most parts
-fixed alot of things about banner playing, now shouldnt randomly
codedump anymore or things like this, also some banner sounds
which did not play before should work fine now
-removed unused code and added better debug prints
-using some fixed voice for game banner and not always a new one
per banner
-fixed DIOS-MIOS cheats for sure now :P
-fixed possible memory allocation bug in wbfs alloc (thanks to
cfg-loader)
-removed MEM2_memalign since it did not work correctly
-fixed a few wrong memset sizes
-made wait animation faster
-removed a few unneeded lines in the wait message code
-fixed booting wii games from disc
-fixed possible bug in wii game launching in general
-gecko output again on wii game booting
-converted alot of spaces to tabs, fitting the general wiiflow
coding style
-general cleaning up things
is found, it will just replace the filename extension with .jpg
and try it again, the jpg file width and height need to be
divisable with 4, otherwise wiiflow will just ignore the cover
- If a 2 disc GC game is launched with Devolution, tell Devolution the location of the 2nd disc*
* Use Wiiflow's game installer to backup your GC game
- Made check for Devolution more safe
- Added some neek2o magic (neek2o r90+ required*):
* Added an exit option to neek2o
* Added an option in gameconfig menu to launch vc/ww titles from wiiflow nand emulation in neek2o instead of cIOS
fucked up cIOS maps
-changed the AUTO IOS selection again, if the game doesnt need
IOS57 it will just use the currently loaded cIOS instead of a
IOS56 based one
enabled by default, with the option enabled it will use cfg version
2 for dm 2.1 or higher, if disabled it uses cfg version 1. It will
be ignored if dml_r52+ is set to no since that uses the old boot.bin
method then
the memory we use for them, not that we get problems
-added debug prints about how much mem left before and after
cleanup
-updated devicehandler, partition handler and usb code to the
latest usb loader gx one, should give more compatility and
port 1 support (not enabled yet)
if we boot homebrew and devolution
-fixed stupid bug which may made a problem with devolution (thanks
stfour for finding it)
-dont init mload on waninkokos cIOS which is older than r18
game via DIOS-MIOS or Devolution, if you set it to Default it
will boot ISOs via Devolution and FST extracted via DIOS-MIOS
-updated english.ini
-updated german.ini
display gamecube coverflow button still
-added possibility to set diosmios video patching way,
video_setting in wiiflow.ini [DML] section, if set to 0
it will disable all video settings of diosmios, if set to 1
it will use the auto setting (default) and if set to 2 it
will force the video mode
and place the loader.bin into your wiiflow data folder, wiiflow
will automatically find the binary and use devolution to boot
the gamecube game (only works with iso files, games extracted
with gcreex doesnt work)
and set both a bit down
-changed a few little things about freetypegx unload
-since I dont care about size anymore the libs are now
in its original size again, makes wiiflow bigger but better
to handle
-changed some small things about the menu class opening
-forgot to deinit ISFS on sys exit, may it created some problems
-closing wiimote inputs before reloading IOS
* Now if you click B on ExitTo menu it will go back to Home menu and not coverflow
* If parental lock is on, ExitTo will just exit and not show ExitTo menu anymore
* Now with home in ExitTo you can exit too
* Added/Deleted some sentences
* Updated english and italian translation
means we can properly see if cached or custom banner is loaded
-corrected bug which didnt copy back the banner md5 before writing
banner cache, means all cached banners dont have the security check
anymore
which either got the ID3 or the ID6 as name into wiiflow/banners
-removed security check for banners since some custom banners are
poorly made and not 100% valid
-on game switching just display blackscreen instead of the old
banner in the time of switching
progress, thanks alot to dimok and the whole usb loader gx team
for help and the code for it!
To zoom the banner to fullscreen click the back button, to zoom out
the back button again, known bugs:
-some games fuck up the textures of buttons (e.g. wii play motion)
-if no wii game or channel was selected and you try to launch a game
or exit wiiflow it will most likely codedump
what they do ;)
-fixed bug of game crashing when selecting progressive
as video mode (issue 94)
-updated german.ini
-updated english.ini
-updated theme default.ini
note: if you have the problem of overlapping options, then
its most likely a outdated default.ini, try updating to this
one and see if the problem is fixed
sd card by reading the sd card directory (bit slower though)
-made list cache a bit smaller again by using more general
settings, dont forget to reload list cache
code and process, should be faster now, also the list cache should
take less space now
-using "types" instead of magic word now for internal detection,
faster and easier to handle
-prepared wiiflows code for custom coverflow which can have all
types together (nothing added yet)
* Moved lots of stuff from MEM1 to MEM2
* Made it possible to select partition for nand emulation (first time config)
* On clean install it will find valid emu nands if they are present in the default folder
* Fixed GameTDB for nand emulation
* Broke background music
* Probably even more
returns to wiiflow using the wiiflow loader channel if enabled,
added option to disable this too, return_to_wiiflow in HOMEBREW
section in wiiflow.ini
-added possibility to start movies via MplayerCE, use this ini:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25620767/mplayerce.ini
-moved this stupid now hide wait message debug print to less annoying
place
-wiiflow wants the dsp shutdown back, so I'll leave it in
-we shouldnt try to alloc mem1 after running apploader, just some
good advice before booting a game, should prevent codedumps
-sd file buffer can be mem1 too, we have enough left
-set mem2 usage to 49mb, thats everything we get anyways
-banner sounds should load faster now, also banner sound
in emulator coverflow when switching game should work again
-forcing check wait thread now on boot, not that the thread
is still working without noticing ;)
approx are enough) also readded memory cleanup before booting
a wii game to make sure games work
-added some small check to see if path is valid, sometimes
it codedumped on game path check
-using low mem setup of GX, because it got more expainations
what is what and works fine so why now ;)
-allocating memory to find partition dynamically now to prevent
the function from overwriting something maybe in wiiflow
-moved cheat file loading to mem2, because we cant just allocate
the memory *somewhere* as it was before
-categories should be found faster now (thanks yardape8000 for tip)
-we dont need to debug print if we set gecko debugging on or not :P
-back to the entry point we had before
-set up cache to 32 again, seems to make wiiflow faster
-changed few things about memory management again
-made a few free safe again in code
-clearing screen properly now, no green screens or things like this
-added a few more low mem settings, fixed a missing flush in set
video mode (thanks dimok)
-partially clearing mem1 too now, using the code of cfg-loader for that
(thanks)
-using asm volatile instead of __asm__ to really call what we want
(thanks dimok for explaination)
-deiniting usb device properly
-shutting down system properly now on game boot, games should boot
more often now, its still not fully fixed
You can select an age from 2-19, where any game rated above is not displayed. It uses the age from the region of the game. 19 is all games. 2 is basically none, because the rating systems start at 3. This operates independently from the current per game lock, so you can still use both. Meaning both conditions have to allow the game, before it will display.
You can override the rating by creating an age_lock.ini file. Just add the id under the domain heading and set it to an age. To set Call of Duty: Black Ops to an age of 5 you would enter this:
[GAMES]
SC7E52=5
There is also an age_lock_default in the wiiflow.ini file under [GENERAL]. This will allow you to specify a default rating for games with no rating info.
thingys and replaced it with their proper calls
-fixed some big memory bugs, downloading much covers shouldn't
be a problem anymore, also memory management should work better
-fixed typo in debug print on game boot, also changed some
things in apploader, making it ready to remove linker script
properly, still in but I hope not for long ;)
-modified wiiflow startup and init order a bit
Fixed bug where user selected IOS is never actually used, because the configuration file was unloaded before it gets there.
Fixed NAND paths being created with double "/"s. No real effect because they seem to be automatically reduced to a single "/"
Minor wifi-gecko changes to keep it alive close to the game launch.
*Added button to extract save from NAND to game config menu
*Added button to flash save to NAND to game config menu
*Fixed some buttons in game config menu
*Cleaned some unused code
*Moved some code to better places
*Fixed NAND emulation itself
*Fixed creation of nandpath and title.tmd for some games
*Fixed extraction of game saves for some games
*Cleaned up some code for NAND emulation
*Cleaned up some more unused stuff
Todo:
*Cleanup NAND emulation code much more
*Move the last used function in savefile.c to a better place
*Add extraction and flash options to game config menu
it broke it
@overjoy:
I tested the place where it was well enough, I tried to move
it but you can't, you need to set it directly if you want or not,
install plain mios v10 and you'll see there is no other way
* Fixed game installer for Wii games on partitions with sector size other than 512
* Fixed removing Wii games (issue: 41)
* Cleaned up some useless stuff
* Made nand emulation kind of noob prove
* Wiiflow will search for a valid FAT32 partition if nand emu is enabled, but no partition is selected
* Wiiflow will now offer to extract the nand if nand emu is enabled, and no nand for nand emulation is available
* Wiiflow will now offer to extract a game save if nand emulation is enabled, a save is found on real nand and no save is found on emu nand.cpp
* Illegal chars for FAT are now escaped the 'd2x' way in the nand file extractor
TODO:
* Add nand extract functions to game config menu's
* Add feature to flash a save back to real nand
dol name, rom path and everything else needed from a ini in the wiiflow/plugins
folder, see http://www.mediafire.com/?kj6dalp2ly3y35j for the currently 4
emulator mod inis.
"http://gbatemp.net/topic/204106-wiiflow-an-open-source-gui-usb-loader/page__view__findpost__p__4176145"
for the nes, snes and gb,gbc and gba emulator mod needed for it. The games are read from the default
path of the emulators, that would be "fceugx/roms" for nes for example. To display the games, place the
emulator dol from the link above into wiiflow/plugins.
-using miigotus way for homebrew and emulator coverflow now, thanks for that, makes things shorter
* Added nanddumper functions (Nand dumper not enabled yet)
* Added an extended check for new installed games which is enabled by default
Since the check takes some time you can bypass the check by setting: 'extended_list_check' in GENERAL section of wiiflow.ini to 'no'
Todo: Add an extended check for removed games
* Fixed a bug ISFS_Initialize() was called before reloading to cIOS
* Fixed long wait time when installing a Wii game @ 100%
in the time I wasnt at home some other person commits something ;)
However I'm back so lets get back to work
-added a few DML video modes, PAL60, NTSC480p, PAL480p, work with
DML r52+
-updated english.ini
-updated german.ini
we have NMM installed and then cant use it because of stopped sd ;)
-changed gc launch a little bit, now also saves playcount of
gamecube disc and uses same video and language options
for gamecube discs as for dml
no_disc_patch, its enabled by default, that means
you don't need to have a disc inserted anymore when
playing gamecube games (requires dml r55 or later to work)
(per game option will follow)
With this feature it's possible to temp change the region of your Wii console. This makes it possible to play those one region only games that wouldn't play on other region consoles.
Some games that work now are for example:
The Amazing Race (didn't play on PAL consoles)
Hollywood Squares (didn't play on PAL consoles)
Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard (didn't play on NTSC consoles)
The feature is now working for Wii games if FULL nand emulation is enabled. The Regionswitch only emulation mode is written for and will only work with a yet unreleased feature of davebaol's d2x cIOS
* Updated english.ini
* Updated dutch.ini
Other languages have to change also again :P
a global option, so if set to default it will use the
setting from wiiflow.ini called dml_nmm in DML section,
0 means disabled, 1 means enabled and 2 means debug)
-nand emu is now for sure compatible with d2x v9+ :P
-updated english.ini
-updated frensh.ini (thanks Jiiwah), italian.ini (thanks
xFede) and japanese.ini (thanks hosigumayuugi)
(3 language updates don't contain new NMM options)
file found
-added possibility to cheat in gamecube games, currently
wiiflow gct cheats folder needs to be on sd card for this,
otherwise DML cant find them
game (better for the sd card), requires DML r52 or newer
to work properly
-added new option in [DML] section, "dml_r52+", you
can set it to no if have a older DML version or want
to use the old boot.bin method instead to launch a gc game
you want to have the gamecube games in the usb folder
"ngc" you now also just need to set the ini to "ngc",
no need for "%s:/ngc" anymore (thanks r-win for few tips)
gamecube games on usb, its a new config entry
in DML section, dir_usb_games, default is the
"games" folder. If you want for example "ngc",
change the value to "%s:/ngc". (issue 19)
-added possibility to copy gamecube games from
usb to sd card, after copy process game will be
started (copy takes 5-10 minutes) (issue 12)
-added possibility to install gamecube games
to usb fat partitions
-fixed game name not displayed in delete game dialog
-changed naming scheme of partition name in top-right
corner in coverflow, now looks like DML [USB1], name
depends on view
