As of this release there will no longer be two separate versions. 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 wiiflow lite users, sorry but you must uninstall your wiiflow lite forwarder and replace it with a wiiflow forwarder.

wfl_v5.0.1_as_wiiflow.zip2.35 MB

Fledge68 released this Nov 15, 2018 · 147 commits to master since this release

  • now compiled with ppc r33 and libogc 1.8.21.

  • now removing games from categories_lite.ini if they are not in a category. this helps keep the list shorter.

  • now on very first start wii games partition is set to a partition that contains a wbfs folder or is wbfs partition type. no longer defaults to SD.

  • added more default gamecube settings to the gamecube default settings menu. added devo emu memcard, nintendont emu memcard, and nintendont wii u widescreen. now you don't have manually edit wiiflow_lite.ini to set these.

  • added pages 7 thru 11 to main settings for a total of 19 more settings you can now set without having to manually edit the ini file. removed data_on_usb and replaced it with sd_only setting.

  • added ability for music plugin to play playlist files (.pls or .m3u). edit your music plugin ini. change the filetypes line to include .pls and .msu for example: filetypes=.mp3|.ogg|.pls|.m3u

  • added auto cache covers and banners when you start wiiflow for the very first time or you do a reload cache. this means wiiflow will go thru the gamelist making cache (.wfc) files for every game that doesn't already have one.

  • restored fanart but with some differences. 1. only fanart shows, no cover and no game title and no buttons (play, back, favs, etc.). 2. to stop and exit fanart press 'a' while pointer hand is on screen. if pointer hand is not on screen pressing 'a' launches game. pressing 'b' exits game selected screen and returns to normal coverflow. d-pad right and left still go to next or previous game. 3. fanart can either play once or loop. when play once is done it automatically clears fanart and returns to cover view. with looping it will restart the fanart. looping is good for slideshows of game images. looping and play once is determined by the setting 'show_cover_after_animation'. if set to no then looping is enabled. set to yes for only once.

  • now fanart works for plugins too. plugin fanart goes in wiiflow/fanart/{coverfolder}/{gametitle}. replace {coverfolder} with the coverfolder= that's set in the plugin's ini file.
    replace {gametitle} with title of the rom file without the extension.
    the fanart ini file must match the {gametitle} you used for the folder.

  • fixed sourceflow to include the last source menu button

  • fixed source menu so it only shows buttons on last page and hides the rest.

  • added sort by button numbers for sourceflow. hold 'b' and press '+' to change from alpha sort to by button numbers and back. while viewing sourceflow.

  • added optional ability to use source menu tiers/virtual subfolders. each tier is a different source_menu.ini. put them all in wiiflow/source_menu. name them all differently but the base source menu must be named source_menu.ini. to access another source menu ini create a source button with source=new_source and set magic=filename.ini replacing filename with the one you want. to go back a tier press '-' and press '+' to go back to base source menu.

  • added [GENERAL] section to source menu ini's. with 2 settings. background= and flow= both explained next.

  • added option to change sourceflow background with every new tier. set background=filename.png (or .jpg) and place your background images in wiiflow/source_menu/backgrounds.

  • added flow=x for sourceflow tiers. each tier can have its own flow layout.

  • added _flatflow as a coverflow. covers will be displayed flat one sided. only works with plugins. add 'boxmode=no'to any plugin ini and the covers will use _flatflow.

How To Download Wiiflow On To Your Wii

Installing WiiFlow

Pre-setup:
Before installing WiiFlow your Wii or Wii U vWii must be soft-modded and have d2x installed in slot 249 with base 56 and slot 250 with base 57. If it's not soft-modded then go to CompleteSoftmodGuide to mod your Wii or Wii U vWii and then install the proper cIOS per instructions below.
For Wii:
  • Download d2x-v10-beta52 for slot 249 and d2x-v10-beta53alt for slot 250 (d2x-v8-final still works fine as well). Note they are zip files that need the extension to be renamed to .7z because they are actually 7-zip files.
  • Follow the guide here to use either ModMii or the official d2x-cios-installer v3.1 to install them.
  • Tip: d2x-v10-beta52 has higher compatibility for NAND emulation and online stuff and less random crashes during game-play that’s why it’s in slot 249 while d2x-v10-beta53 has 2 USB ports support and fully plug & play USB devices, meaning that you can connect them when the game asks for them.
  • You will need d2x-v10-beta52-vwii and d2x-v10-beta53-alt-vwii
  • Use d2x-cios-installer-mod v2.2 by Fix94 to install them.

Installing WiiFlow:
Now that you have your Wii soft-modded and d2x installed:
  • Download the latest official WiiFlow - WiiFlow 4.2.1. Note: This version does not support the latest Nintendont. Get WiiFlow Mastermod by Abz for Nintendont support.
  • Extract it to your SD card or USB HDD. It should automatically put WiiFlow boot.dol, icon.png, and meta.xml in the /apps/wiiflow folder.
  • Put your Wii game backups in the usb:/wbfs folder using Wii Backup Manageror a similar program. Or if you don't have any backups yet you can make backups with WiiFlow. More on that later.
Installing a optional forwarder channel:
Without this you must launch WiiFlow from the Homebrew Channel.
To install a forwarder channel to launch WiiFlow from the System Menu do the following.
For Wii:
  • Use Wad Manager 1.7 or another wad manager app to install a WiiFlow forwarder channel. Note: You will need IOS 58 installed to use these v14b forwarders. Use ModMii to download and install IOS 58. Or you can use IOS 58 Installer provided your Wii has WiFi.
For Wii U:
  • Use wiiflow channel installer v1.1 to install the default forwarder.
Installing a optional Priiloader or BootMii forwarder loader:
This will allow WiiFlow to automatically start when you turn your Wii on. Note: These are Wii only!
If you have BootMii installed as boot2 get the BootMii Forwarder Loader. Backup or rename your current armboot.bin first and then just place the included armboot.bin file in the bootmii folder on your SD card ( sd:/bootmii/armboot.bin ). Now when you turn on your Wii it should start WiiFlow.
Note: BootMii as boot2 is very rare and only happens on very old Wii's. Normally BootMii will install as a IOS. If it's an IOS use the Priiloader Forward Loader below.

If you have Priiloader installed get the Priiloader Forwarder Loader. Put it in a folder or on the root of your SD card. You may have to rename it to boot.dol. To tell Priiloader to launch it follow the directions from CSG (scroll down to find 'Installing a File').

Launching WiiFlow the first time:
Start WiiFlow with your new WiiFlow forwarder channel or the Homebrew Channel. WiiFlow will create the necessary folders and config files and then display your Wii backup games. If you don't have any games in your 'wbfs' folder or there is no folder then WiiFlow will display the following message -
'Welcome to WiiFlow. I have not found any games. Click Install to install games, or Select partition to select your partition type.'.
If you know you have a 'wbfs' folder with games in it then follow the second choice to choose the partition (SD, USB1, USB2, etc...) your games are on. Otherwise insert a Wii game disc and select the first option to install it.
Adding Covers:
Now you should have at least one game case showing (maybe multiple of times) but it's blank. We need to cover it. Move your pointer to the bottom of the screen and some icons should appear. Choose the one that looks like some gears. This is the config icon and it will take you to the Main Settings menu. Click on the first option which should be Download Covers. This takes you to a new menu with more options. The only two we need to worry about now are the first two - Download All or Download Missing. The other options will be explained later. To Download all covers click 'All'. Later on if you install some more games you can just choose 'Missing'. When it's done click on 'BACK' to return to the main screen. Of Course if your Wii isn't connected to the Internet then this won't work for you. You will have to download the covers on your PC and transfer them to the appropriate WiiFlow covers folder. You can use Wii Backup Manager with your USB HDD connected to your PC to download the covers for you.
Launching a game:
This should have you set up to play Wii games from your USB HDD. Browse through your games with your wiimote and press 'A' while pointing at the game you want to play. And then click on the 'PLAY' button to launch the game.
