Fledge68 13e65956fe - Plugin game list generator now gets rom title and ID from wiimpathy's plugins database files. a 'reload cache' will need to be done for each plugin source so the title and ID can be added to the current cached list. custom titles still work and will override plugin database files. titles are based on custom titles file then plugins database file and finally the rom filename. if the ID is not found in the plugins database files it will have an ID of 'PLUGIN' and no game info will be displayed on the game info screen. 
arcade rom clones are not included in the plugins database files to keep the files short. Any arcade rom clones you have will either not be found or will aquire the same ID and title as the parent rom when the CRC of the clone rom is included in the parent roms list of CRC's. you will need to manually edit both the CRC list file and xml database file to include the rom info on any clone you have in order for them to display the correct title and game info. i would think only a small handfull of your roms would be clones.

reload cache may take longer now to create the cached list. I found zipped roms for snes, nes, and others are no problem because even if the filename can't be found the crc does not need to be calculated. it is merely taken from the zip file which already holds the crc. on the other hand, half of my gba roms are unzipped with a gba extension. so my gba list takes 10 seconds or so to make because the crc of the unzipped roms does need to be calculated. mame roms use the filename but if it's a clone then it will calculate the crc of the rom zip file. thus any clones will slow things down unless you add them to the database files mentioned above. I imagine megaCD and PS1 cd games will be slow to reload cache. but at least you only need to do it once or whenever you add or delete a game.

wiimpathy's database files use the no intro naming convention. i'm not crazy about it because it moves any leading 'the' to the end preceded by a comma. in this case i use custom titles ini to put the title the way i want.

WiiFlow Lite

My mod of the Wii USB Loader WiiFlow

Description

WiiFlow Lite is a wii homebrew app used to display and launch your games and apps stored on a USB device or SD card plugged into a Wii or Wii U in Wii mode. The games and apps are displayed in cover flow style display.

Compiling

WiiFlow Lite is currently compiled using DevkitPro PPC r30 and Libogc 1.8.19. I recommend getting Tortoise Git to checkout the WiiFlow Lite repository.

Installing

As of v5.2.0 WiiFlow Lite will simply be a replacement for WiiFlow. Put it in apps/wiiflow and use wiiflow forwarder's to launch it via the wii system menu. forwarders can be found on wiiflowiki4. for previous wiiflow lite users, sorry but you must uninstall your wiiflow lite forwarder and replace it with a wiiflow forwarder.

Simply download the latest release and extract it to your apps/wiiflow folder on SD or USB HDD. SD is recommended. Your device should be formatted to FAT32.

Booting

To start WiiFlow Lite you will need the Homebrew Channel or a WiiFlow forwarder channel installed on your Wii or vWii system menu.

Themes

Currently only Carbonik Abz and Rhapsodii themes are compatible with WiiFlow Lite. Other older wiiflow themes need to be updated to work properly with WFL.

Carbonik Abz is included in the WiiFlow lite download.

Rhapsodii made by Hakaisha is a new theme designed for wiiflow lite. find it here - (https://gbatemp.net/threads/wiiflow-lite-theme-rhapsodii.511833/)

Other wiiflow lite themes can be found on the wiki linked below. but they need to be updated to properly work with wiiflow lite.
