-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.
- fixed gc ciso games to show and launch via WFL. thanks CokeCookie for getting me to fix it. note banners do not show for ciso games unless you use a custom gc banner.
- added (for wii u vwii) to be able to select Wii U channel as the exit to choice either via main cfg pg 4 exit to option or home menu>exit to menu and select wii u menu.
- removed priiloader and bootmii as exit to options when on wii u vwii
- added random select game option. manually edit wiiflow_lite.ini and under [GENERAL] set "random_select" to yes then while in wiiflow lite main screen hold B and press '-' to have WFL random select a game instead of random boot a game.
- removed region change from savenand emulation types. why? because according to overjoy's commit he said it didn't work yet. it was for a future version of d2x cios when davebaol added it to d2x cios. i looked at all the d2x cios commits from that date to present and didn't see that it was ever added. if i'm wrong someone let me know and i will add it back into wfl.
- made some small bootup changes in case of errors on bootup.
- made some changes to the way wiiflow lite handles emunand switching and other minor emunand code editing.
-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.
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
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
-added new option, "force_cios_rev" (default 0 (=disabled)), if you
set it to for example "force_cios_rev=250", then wiiflow will
use IOS250 for the AUTO setting, for reload when using
"force_cios_load" and when switching to emu nand in IOS58 mode
-added more detailed debug prints and on screen information about
the currently loaded cIOS
-minor cleanup in nand get file and external booter
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
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
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".
-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
