- fixed using force progressive patch for nintendont. so when you select a 480p or pal480p video mode it actually turns on progressive mode. only works on certain games just like nintendont. tested on rampage total destruction and working.
- fixed led option for nintendont. seems the setting was there in game settings but was not used when launching a game.
- added skip IPL option per game. used to skip the GC or triforce BIOS if you have it installed. some games may not work with the BIOS so you can set those to skip it.
- added wiimote CC rumble option per game. this works only with wii CC or CCpro and will only make the wiimote vibrate in case you didn't know.
- auto set native control and led to off if on Wii U. they only work on Wii.
- WiiFlow Lite now ALWAYS uses Nintendont Args config and only work with nintendont v3.358+.
- removed USB HID option since nintendont auto detects usb controllers since v3.304+
- added goto home menu and press '1' to save the current theme.ini with all the new theme btns and labels. note - all old unused btns and labels in theme.ini are not erased and are still there. switch to the default theme and save - it will contain all current new ones and no old ones. then use it to determine which ones need to be removed.
- added HBC 1.1.3 new ID OHBC. this allows wiiflow to use exit to HBC if you have the new one.
- switched HBC_JODI and HBC_HAXX to the correct DEFINE. they were switched wrong but it didn't seem to really have any affect.
- re added the Aspect Ratio option for Emu NAND games. seems it was set to only show for a wii game but now it will show for both wii and nand game. default is your consoles default. so for example if your console is 16:9 and your game doesn't look right try force 4:3.
- re organized the game settings menu to get all game setting options to show. this will make themes not display properly. themes will need to be edited.
- added gc default settings menu accessed via main settings pg3. pg3 no longer requires you to be in gc view to see them now. wish i had more time to add more default settings.
- addded partition settings menu in place of the single partiton selection on pg1. this means you don't have to select the source view first.
- fixed switching from full covers to smallbox covers in sourceflow and brewflow.
- updated the Help Guide to any new button controls (English only).
- updated the xml file.
- other minor theme and code cleanup
-removed vipatch, country patch, private server and cheats defaults from wiiflow.ini. no need for default/global setting for those options. they all default to off internally in wiiflow.
-now on file explorer menu pressing home btn returns you to device select so you don't have to keep backing up to get back to devices.
-fixed a few minor problems with game configs, especially gc games. now all game config options should work properly.
-now using bitwise operators and expressions on m_current_view to control which sources are selected. no more source= under each domain. just sources= under GENERAL.
-replaced ocarina option from main settings pg3 with channels type option. no need for a global/default ocarina setting. channels type allows you to select real, emu, or both channels types for channels coverflow. which means no more pressing B on config icon to cycle thru the choices.
-fixed a minor bug when downloading covers
-changed newid.ini to use only one domain name "[NEWID]". this fixes a possible problem when downloading covers and using newid.ini and multisource.
-added install wad option to nand emulation settings menu. I know you can do it via file explorer but this makes it easier for newbies to find. plus you can select which nand to install to.
-fixed extract game saves.
-fixed extract nand and install GC game by stopping music and controller input while doing these functions.
-Install wii game is broke. added a error msg stating this and keeping users from using it. funny the code is almost identical to usbloader gx which works and wiiflow doesn't.
-now showing all btns on game selected screen. if wiiflow is locked a error msg appears stating this.
-changed makeDir to make the whole path not just one folder. thanks to usbloader gx code.
-added .ciso extension to gamecube list maker so you can use them with nintendont.
-fixed wii u widescreen option in game config menu. should properly work now. thanks pBullet!
-added a fix for coverflow titles display when coverflow has 3 or more rows. for some reason 3 or more rows caused the title to display improperly.
-removed **disabled** message from source menu. no need for it - was a stupid idea. if you don't want it to display then remove it from your source menu or don't add it. when a view is disabled in wiiflow_lite.ini then only that view icon is disabled from showing on the main menu screen.
-removed titles.ini which wasn't really used except for displaying the return to channel in settings. I googled it and nothing really showed up. it seemed to be the same as custom_titles.ini - it seemed useless.
-removed cacheing sourceflow list. the list is never big enuff to worry about cacheing. plus if you add or remove source btns you won't have to reload cache for the changes to take effect.
-removed max_source_btns from wiiflow_lite.ini - added code to get highest source menu btn so now source menu can have as many buttons as you like.
-removed Manage Languages Menu - restored option to just change wiiflow language. no need for downloading languages and the google link didn't work anyway. when i make a pack all the languages will be included.
-added flat cover options for sourceflow and homebrew view. can be turned on/off via their config menu's accessed via 'HOME' btn.
-added config menu for homebrew view - press 'HOME' btn while in homebrew view to access it. config menu options are - switch apps partition, adjust coverflow, smallbox on/off, and flat covers on/off.
-updated config menu for source menu/flow. options include - sourceflow on/off, adjust coverflow, smallbox on/off, flat covers on/off, and for source menu only - multisource on/off.
-added coverflow layouts/versions for individual plugins - which means each plugin can have its own coverflow layout without affecting the others.
-set HQ cover to default to ON
-made it so coverflow doesn't reload every time you access another menu or change favorites or whatever.
-added error messages to game and app launching if any of the bin files needed for launching are missing. previously whenever these errors occurred wiiflow would just exit without the user knowing why. Now the error message should display before exit so the user has an idea what went wrong. had to move cleanup() back some for the errors to show. hopefully that doesn't cause out of mem issues for users with large game collections.
-added error messages to game config menu. now all config options will show but if you can't use it then a error shows telling you. such as 'use neek2o' will be available but if you set it to on and neek2o isn't installed then an error message shows. added error msgs for extracting and flashing saves too.
-added show_mem=yes/no option to wiiflow_lite.ini under [DEBUG]. manually edit wiiflow_lite.ini to turn it on/off. if set to 'yes' wiiflow will show how much free mem is available on screen. no need to compile wiiflow for this option anymore.
-cleaned up some of the boot up code.
-starting a random game - just hold 'B' and press '-'. no longer press'B' on config or question mark icon and no need to allow it in wiiflow_lite.ini
-fixed using categories to hide GC disc 2's. Apparently this has never really worked right for some time or ever.
-fixed deleting the cached cover texture file for plugin games. Delete cover for plugins only deletes the cached texture file (.wfc)
-fixed favorites and adultonly (parental lock) for plugin games. Apparently I may have broke this a few revisions back.
-favorites and adultonly for plugin games now have their own domains in gamecfg1- [FAVORITES_PLUGINS] and [ADULTONLY_PLUGINS]. just makes it more organized.
-only wii, GC, channels are added to [PLAYCOUNT] and [LAST_PLAYED] in gamecfg1.
-now loading gamecfg1 at startup and leaving it loaded till exit. no more loading it and unloading all the time.
-fixed scrolling for game_info synopsis, credits, and help text.
-made source menu buttons wider for wiiflow default. old 80x80, now 100x80. looks better.
-display music info now defaults to off
-screensaver_disabled now defaults to yes
-show GC view button is now on by default no matter what. the only way it is disabled is if you edit wiiflow.ini manually. this is how all the view buttons work.
-removed hiding homebrew button but if wiiflow locked it won't work or in sourceflow it won't show.
-dump_list is now under [GENERAL] instead of each view. Also only works for Wii, GC, and channels.
-sorting only works for Wii, GC, and Channels now. disabled for sourceflow, plugins, homebrew, and combined view.
-now if no games are found a message is shown with the current path so you can see where wiiflow is looking. (except for plugins)
-removed auto create emuNAND for emuNAND view if gamelist is empty. just go to settings>NAND settings if you want to extract or disable it.
-now when no games are found all buttons at bottom are still accessible allowing you to change the view or go to settings and change current partition or path and even extract your NAND to create a EmuNAND. Or go to Home Menu and Install a Wii or GC game.
-removed auto extract NAND to emuNAND when launching a Wii game with EmuNAND save. Now a message is diplayed saying 'emuNAND for saves not found - using real NAND'.
-made the speed at which cover titles fade in/out almost instantly.
-removed update button from Home Menu. online update code is still there but not used and probably won't be used any more as there just isn't a need for it now.
-removed ftp button from Home Menu and all code for the FTP server. I just use WiiXplorer's FTP server. it seems to work better for me.
-disabled keep USB Alive thread for now. i think there's a possibilty it might be the cause of my SD/USB files getting corrupted.
-removed Btn B and - combo to switch partitions. didn't seem useful anymore.
-redid nand emulation settings menu. looks like this now:
pg1
Select EmuNAND
EmuNAND Enulation
Select SaveNAND
SaveNAND Emulation
pg2
Extract Saves All
Missing
Extract NAND
Select Saves Partition
-no longer blocking Select Plugin menu and View icons when using source menu combined view
-now Select Plugins Menu is like switching to plugin view but you get to choose the plugins first
-now [PLUGIN] partition= is the default partition for all plugins. to change individual plugins add 'romPartition=x' to the plugin ini. x is the partition number 0 thru 8 with SD being 0. this is how my usbloadergx plugin mod works.
- fixed the hover over sound for the main settings button. you may not have noticed but sometimes it didn't make that sound. now it does all the time.
- adjusted the game info synopsis scrolling and line height so the text isn't all smashed together vertically.
- fixed a small problem from last commit where sourceflow would use sideflow or shortflow after selecting one of those plugins. now it uses the correct flow.
- made flows appear faster after selecting a source.
- Now disabling View Select icon/button on main screen if you are using Source Menu with multi source select. (easier to handle this way)
- Fixed Source Menu multi select. Now using 'A' button instead of '+' button to select sources. '+' and '-' can now be used to change pages just like all other menus. Added Clear button to clear all source buttons. If none selected defaults to Wii. After making selections use Back button or 'B' to go back.
- Added the ability to select both NAND and EmuNAND Channels at the same time. Three options to do this.
1. Use Source Menu multi select.
2. Switch to Channels View then press 'B' while pointing at Settings icon on main screen. If you keep pressing 'B' it will cycle you thru NAND, EmuNAND, and Both.
3. Use the Plugin Select menu with the new emuchannels.ini plugin and the channels.ini plugin to select one or both. (in plugin view of course)
- Other code cleanup and minor changes here and there to make things work with being able to select both real nand and emu nand together.
- Still have a few things to change but this should be fine for now.
- added flipped cover zoom and movement. so now when you flip a cover you can zoom in and out with '+' and '-' to read and see the back cover better. Use the control pad to move it if you need to. only works with pressing the buttons not holding them down.
- added option to delete a cached cover (.wfc file) for plugins. in case for some reason you have a strange looking cover while viewing plugin covers just select the cover and then click on delete - it won't delete the game or cover png, just the covers wfc file in the cache. then when you go back it should be recreated. for other covers you can just delete and redownload via the settings menu.
- added a space after every comma for displaying genres on Game Info Menu. before = action,adventure. now = action, adventure. to me it looks nicer.
- replaced info/help button on main screen with homebrew view button. removed homebrew view button from the choice of views.
- moved info/help button to Home Menu replacing Settings Button which we didn't need two of.
- homebrew/apps view has its own view now. pressing 'A' automatically launches the app, no need for a selected menu to launch app.
- when returning from a launched app wiiflow now displays the Wii game view. before it would go to homebrew view.
- still need to add a config menu for apps view so we can change the partition, smallbox, reload cache, and adjust coverflow.
- Wiiflow will automatically detect these and add the respective game lists to the plugin game list just like combined view via the source menu.
- these plugins can be selected via the 'plugin select menu' in 'main settings' or via a source btn on the 'source menu'.
- with these plugins the 'plugin select menu' can act like another source menu and they can easily be combined with all the other plugins of your choice.
- New Coverflow theme format. no more emuflow, coverflow, brewflow. now we have coverflow, shortflow, sideflow, and smallflow.
- coverflow is the normal coverflow.
- shortflow is automatically used for plugins if all selected plugins require a short CD style cover such as GB, GBC, GBA, and playstation. if there's more let me know and i can add them.
- sideflow is automatically used for plugins if all selected plugins require a cover on its side such as SNES and Nintendo 64.
- smallflow is used if smallbox is set for homebrew and sourceflow.
- no more need for emuflow= with a source btn in the source menu. it is done automatically now using the plugins magic#
- each flow has its own number of modes/layouts. so now coveflow can have 8, smallfow 1, sideflow, 6, and shortflow 4 or whatever you want.
- adjust coverflow works with no problems. just choose the view first before entering the adjust coverflow menu.
- other minor code changes here and there.
- remember themes are now in themes_lite and the coverflow part is seperated and put in the coverflows folder with the same name as the theme or you can use a default coverflow named default.ini for all themes.
-split coverflow config from theme config files.
-renamed theme folder to themes_lite folder because of the new format and to avoid conflict with wiiflow.
-made coverflows folder in themes_lite folder to hold the coverflow config files.
-coverflow configs must be named the same as the theme configs or you can make one default coverflow config (named default.ini) in the coverflows folder. Then if wiiflow can't find matching coverflow config it will use the default coverflow config.
-to create coverflow configs open a theme.ini file in a text editor (Notepad+) and search for brewflow and then copy from there to the end, create a new text file and paste, make sure the first line is empty, and save the file named exactly like your theme.ini and in the folder dev:/wiiflow/themes_lite/coverflows/
-why did i do this? 1. when you use wiiflow setting 'adjust coverflow' and save it will only save the coverflow part and not mess up your structure of your theme.ini. 2. because now with the default.ini coverflow you can have one set of coverflow layouts for all the themes.
-note: this is Phase 1. Phase 2 and 3 coming. :)
-access source menu setting via home button when viewing source menu or sourceflow.
-source menu is now automatically enabled if a source_menu.ini is found.
-removed five source view icons if no source_menu.ini found.
-other minor source menu code cleanup
-cleaned up some code for emunand list and when using emunand for wii saves. might be a problem here or there but need to take a break and come back to this later. should work for now.
-removed setting emu paths and changing emu presets.
-added select nand setting on page 2 of nand emulation settings. nands must be in a subfolder of nands folder on root of device. example - dev:/nands/nand1, dev:/nands/nand2 etc..
-nand select also works for saves nand in wii view.
-nand emulation settings is only shown if in wii view or nand view.
-if no nand is found wiiflow will create a nand named default in the nands folder.
-rewrote coverloader code a little to make it easier to follow. but still couldn't fix it. honestly it appears there's nothing wrong. wiiflow just acts weird.
- 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.
- 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.
-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
