It would be nice to be able to play games installed on a WBFS partition on
an SD/SDHC card. If it helps, I believe Waninkoko's official USB Loader 1.5
supports it, as do Configurable USB Loader and NeoGamma.

Thanks!

I think it would be more efficient for most users to replace the onscreen
"Home" button with two buttons - One for the HBC and the other for the Wii
System Menu (or alternatively for this one to continue acting as the
existing button with a toggle in settings).

I have a disk with three partitions: one WBFS, one FAT32 and one NTFS.
I have 42 games in WBFS partition.

First, I notice an intermittent problem:
WiiFlow sometimes was getting very slow loading the game covers. And when
this happens, all hard disk operations seem to be slow. For instance:
reading the game music when I select a game, the game loading itself
becomes very very slow and sometimes wiiflow just can't read the disk and
displays a message that says something like: "disk read error". If the game
is loaded the game music sometimes stops playing for a while.
The workaround for that was to completely shutdown wii or disconnect and
reconnect the disk.

After putting many files inside the FAT32 partition, i.e, 1162 zip files,
the problem described above became permanent and the workaround stops working.

I formatted the WBFS partition and put only two games but it didn't solve
the problem. The problem was solved when I formatted the FAT32 partition
and restored the backup of wiiflow directory.

My HD is: 500GB WD My Passport.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter Settings
2. Select Download/Covers/All or Missing
3. Downloads Covers then codedumps creating cache files or no cover shows after 
creating cache file

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Either a created cover or no cover found

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
WiiFlow 1.1 R8
Sysmenu 4.1E
cIOS 249 Rev 14

Please provide any additional information below.

As far as I know, it is not possible to disable the DELETE button for a game 
so that small children can easily delete a game. It would be nice if a 
general setting exists that disables this button.

Reported by TeenTin:

After downloading a cover, start Mario Kart with Ocarina on and then you
get wifi error code: 50330.

I would like to have a new option to turn off the text for tittles on all 
cover view.

Thank you.

With parental controls enabled most options are removed. This is by design 
and fine, however..

1, Can option to mark a game as favourite be visible with controls on (so 
kids can mark / un-mark their favourites)?

2, Can option to change the theme be available in settings when controls are 
on?

With R13 can't boot Grand Slam Tennis (just stucks in loading screen).

Deleted wiiflow.ini and still nothing.
Reverting to 1.1(Hibern's final), all boots perfectly.

Its not the WM+ thingie or alt-dol (tried with and without both). Hope you
can see this.

It would be nice if you could add the possibility to update WiiFlow via
internet. This would save us some time ;)

Thanks in advance.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Install any of the ISO forwarders from http://gbatemp.net/index.php?
showtopic=181011 onto your WBFS partition.
2.Load ISO from Wiiflow (Currently using R16)
3.Toggle video modes (to no avail)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Boot ISO, show splash screen, homebrew app boots (FCEU Ultra, ScummVM, 
Triiforce, etc.)  Instead of booting the forwarders, it just hangs on a 
black screen and the wiimotes turn off.  A hard reset is necessary to 
restore function in the Wii.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Sys Menu 4.1, IOS 249 rev 14 by waninkoko, booting wiiflow R16 249 from 
preloader 0.29 JODI

Please provide any additional information below.
I've actually gotten these forwarders to load with wiiflow, but it's rare 
and adjusting the video mode settings are unsuccessful.  I tried 
configurable USB loader v45 to see if it was the ISOs or wiiflow, and CFG 
USB loader loads them fine every time.  I love your app and would like it 
if you were able to implement the ability to boot these ISOs as I believe 
they would render the wii menu useless.  
Thank you for your contributions

[deleted issue]

Creating an entry for launching a disc in order play gamecube games, or
games you don't want to install for some reason would be a good addition.

Fade out background music (.ogg files) when playing the banner sound.
Fade in and continue background music (.ogg files) after the banner sound
finished.

Fade out main music also when starting a game/title instead of immediately
abrupt it.

Allow the banner sounds to loop correctly.

i am working on a media update to wiiflow to play media files as well as
d/ling dvd covers for your movies... let me know if you are interested... 

Would be nice if openWiiFlow could download .txt-Cheats from
geckocodes.com, and make .gtc-Files of it. So basicly downloading cheats,
and activating some, like CFG-Loader does.

Thanks in Advance!

(P.s: There's currently no way to mark this as Type-Enhancement)

Would like to see feature like usbloadergx has where if you insert a wii disc 
that you don't have yet the install screen detects this and pops up asking if 
you would like to install.

Is it possible to code pannable backcovers when they are zoomed, would be a
great feature instead of being confined to screen size only views

I don't know if I'm the only one that has though of this, but it would be
awesome to be able to filter the installed games by ones that are Single
Player, Multi-Player and WiFi Multi-Player.

Be able to run from fat32 like usbloadercfg.

It would be convenient to have GC controller support in a case you want to
play a game made for use with GC controller, ie SSBB.

Allow the ability to purge or delete the images cache so it can be rebuilt 
without having to disconnect manually delete the files.

Any possibilities of being able to define custom categories, or group games
by genre?

hi, can you make wiflow with when we quit a game we return to wiflow .....
and not to the menu system ? thank

I guess everyone likes the possibility to load Apps direct from Wiiflow 
(http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=181011). But to sort them a little 
bit out, I think a 2nd favorite icon (for tools) is a good idea. 

I don't think its been requested...
Possible to add a function to shutdown wii to off?

Currently both `home button` on remote, and `off` button (bottom right of
screen) do the same thing (regardless of option return to wii menu
(on/off), although I think preloader .30r4 may be messing with my wii))

Currently to turn off, I have to return to wii menu and run the wad `QUIT`.

Preloader starts wiiflow as installed file for me.

Basically can the option "return to wii menu (on/off)" be:
"on/off button  (wii menu/shutdown to off)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Trying to patch Trauma Center - Second Opinion to use Progressive Scan 480p

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Using NeoGamma you can force the game to use the Progressive mode and play
as normal with a crisper picture but with Interlaced FMV(which is why the
game probably disabled 480p normally.)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
R17 on launch Wii with 4.1E and BootMii.

Please provide any additional information below.
The video mode patching is a little confusing as it stands... there are
several separate options relating to video modes and they appear on
different pages of the settings screen.

At the moment you have to download WiiFlow for cIOS 222 or 249, depending
which cIOS you are using. But both cIOS versions have benefits. If somebody
want to use the benefits of both cIOS he must download 2 applications (for
example for game compatiblity).
So the better solution is an option in the menu to select the cIOS which
you want to use.

Another advantage is that the developers can focus to one application and
have to compile just one application.

Same cheat egine linke in GeckoOs 1.9.2 to play Brawl+

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Installing Trilogy with Wiiflow
2.Starting Trilogy with Wiiflow
3.Choose a Game from the Trilogy
4.Loading Screen is appearing
5.Black Screen and returning to the wii menu

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Starting the MP Game

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
From the download section. Tested both IOS 222 and 249.

Please provide any additional information below.
Tested some Tutorials and "Help me" in different communities but nothing
really helped. The only thing which is working is to extract the dols from
the iso and place it to the root of SD. 
But it must also work to start the dols from the iso image (somehow).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.

Please provide any additional information below.

How hard would it be to make the screen fade to black after being idle for a 
few minutes?  Simple, 
subtle screensaver.

Auto install a game, like USB Loader GX

Bonjour, il serait bien de faire des sous chapitres.
ex: Action, Drive, Reflection etc...

Super de vouloir reprendre la suite.

Hi,

I'm a french user of WiiFlow, and i had the bad surprise to see my ( very
young ) son, delete 15 of my Wii channel by mistake.

It is possible to lock game deleting by a password ?

oopinou

Classic controller support in Menu of Wiiflow like wii menu (dpad, right
stick for cursor etc). Sorry for my english. Thx

Patch video modes like in 1.0 (Force Video mode and apply Patch)

Is it possible to display the banner together with the music instead of 
only the music?

adding some kind of list view mode would be great!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Patch the game's 001 and/or 002 Error fix  using the WiiGF
2.Import to the harddisk(wbf)
3.Launch the game using Wiiflow

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Just black screen.No responding.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
WiiFlow 1.1 R13
This problem exsits in the original version too.
Maybe the code when detecting 002 error and trying to auto fix it is not
robust.

When pressing Home button, make a confirmation screen to ask if you really
want to exit.

Possibility to download game informations of the games in WBFS partition
from WIITDB and display them when we select a game in Wiiflow

Update Install Game option to work via iso image file from the SD card slot
(SDHC would need to be supported).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch wiiflow with forwarder
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect 1tb drive to load but instead it gives the error screen to make 
sure that the drive is plugged in to the correct usb port

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
wiiflow 1.1

Please provide any additional information below.
If i use another loader to detect the drive i can return to the wii menu 
and wiiflow works fine. If the drive sits idle for a period of time the 
process must be repeated

Maybe an option for themers to have the possiblity to show disc in place of
cover

It seems like the "data_on_usb=no" entry in the [ GENERAL] section of
wiiflow doesn't work anymore. I used it in wiiflow 1.0 because I like to
have all homebrew on my SD Card to keep my HD clean.
I tried it in the [ GENERAL] and in the [GENERAL] section of the wiiflow.ini.

For me it never made sense to hide locked games from view until the PIN 
has been entered in the settings menu. Why not just prompt for PIN when 
trying to launch a locked game. Less hassle really.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. cIOS249rev14 AND cIOS222rev4
2. WiiFlow 1.1 R13 v249 & WiiFlow 1.1 R13 v222
3. Starting wiiflow with a usb device formated in wbfs without any game
install yet.  WiiFlow will ask to install a game by pressing the install
button and will freeze, the wiimote will unsync affter few second and will
have to hard reset the wii.  

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Installation of a game.  

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
WiiFlow 1.1 R13 249/222
Wii Sysmtem menu 4.1
cIOS249rev14 & cIOS222rev4

Please provide any additional information below.
The drive was formated using the latest wbfs build for linux.  The same
process was tryed on usb loader gx rev806 and the problem didn't occur.  

Ability to delete images for a game so they could be re-downloaded. Helpful 
if using a temp image until the actual cover becomes available.
