Hacking WiiFlow Lite

[fledge68]

Yes, new dol confirmed working correctly on all 3 Wii's with 248 [38] installed. Tested on 9 Wii Games and 9 WiiWare games.

Unfortunately i do not have SpongeBob Boating Bash to test that game but all else is golden here through SD only setup now.

thanks so much for testing and narrowing it down to base 38. and xflak for pointing out that there isn't a base 38 for wii u vwii. your findings helped me easily come up with a fix.

No problem my friend, glad i could help. After you mentioned Hermes could possibly be an issue, my first thought was to uninstall 248 then make my way down to 222 to eliminate all possibilities. 1st elimination turned out to be the ringer.

Guys, sorry for bother, but I am making a pretzel on my mind.

Seems there is no consensus about the recommended base for cIOS 249.

On the post https://gbatemp.net/threads/d2xl-cios-a-fork-of-davebaols-d2x-cios.558581/#post-8968173 I understand IOS base 57 is the most used and compatible with most games. so cIOS 250 is recommended with IOS base 56

Also the wiki https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List have the same recommendations.

(I know booth are some old posts)

But on ModMii recomends cIOS 249 with IOS base 56 and cIOS 250 with base 57

Please let me know more documentation for get peace on my mind.

Regards.

249 [57] was preferred because base [57] was thought to be faster loading but pparently it is not faster or not noticable.

I think [56] may be slightly more game compatible but [57] compatibility is also excellent. Call of Duty, Just Dance, Guitar Hero and a few other games require a specific base but otherwise both 56 and 57 play 99.5% of the entire Wii library.

I think it just makes sense to have 56, 57, 58 in loading sequence even though i kept base 57 in 249 for years until maybe 2 years ago. I always say don't fix things that are not broken or try to reinvent the wheel. If you have 57 installed in 249, you will never know the difference only with very few games, and the same goes for 249 [56] setup.

Read this again
https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Wii_cIOS_base_Compatibility_List

It outlines how base 56 was recommended in slot 249, then how it switched to base 57, then how it switched back to base 56, and why

Again Thanks a lot for all your efforts.

@impeeza

Comparing my 3 syschecks to yours, they are quite different. It looks like your main cIOS are up to date and all else might be fine, here are differences i notice for reference ...

IOS11
IOS20
IOS30
IOS40
IOS50
IOS52
IOS60
IOS70
IOS80

Hermes installs are also different between our consoles. I am no expert, it is very possible your setup is fine, just wanted to follow up and assist if a ModMii update was necessary.

Perhaps @jeannotte or @XFlak will see this and confirm if you indeed are fine or if you could use an update.

 

[impeeza]

Yeah, I have some stub IOS stubbed and my 60 and 80 IOS are patched, that was so many time ago on a far away galaxy. and never had tryed to restore original ones.

Thanks for your kind follow.

Those are mostly old system menu ios slots, stubs there are fine unless u are running an old system menu. U only need the system menu ios for the system menu you are running. 80 for 4.3 for most ppl

A patched system menu ios has some benefits, but nothing that would impact homebrew. Basically it allows u to run fakesigned content that has been moved to the official sd card menu. It used to also enable rc24, but now a patched system menu ios is no longer required

Edit: and if u have modmii's extra brick protection enabled, it will install a special system menu ios to those slots to prevent bricks from accidental downgrades/user error

@fledge68 someone I know was having problems with WiiFlow Lite 5.5.4. 5.5.3 works fine, but 5.5.4 goes to a screen which is black then goes to the Wii Menu. We tried replacing the cIOS and stuff with the newest recommendation version, and we had reformatted its USB to be FAT32 rather than NTFS, yet it still wouldn't work. They're happy with using 5.5.3 for now, and this is an issue on multiple games (New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Mario Kart Wii). Did something happen with the upgrade from 5.5.3 to 5.5.4 that broke compatibility? I'd like to know

 

[impeeza]

delete you sd:\apps\wiiflow\wiiflow_lite.ini and restore to the original your sd:\apps\wiiflow\meta.xml

It's failing to load the app or failing to load games?

There's a new auto cios option, and the latest official release likes base 38 cios in cases where it shouldn't. A few posts back is a mediafire link from fledge with a fix for this issue. Alternatively adjust the cios slot setting for each game. U may have done this already, but if u didn't then installing other cios's was probably a pointless exercise.

I was having problems loading WarioLand ShakeIT with AUTO IOS, the software didn't load and console get stuck, solved forcing IOS 249, but with the latest:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/wiiflow-lite.422685/post-10366469

now even on AUTO IOS the game loads fine. Thanks a lot @fledge68

game

 

[impeeza]

game

are you tried force the game with different cIOS?

 

[fledge68]

game

so using v5.5.4 with the boot.dol i provided didnt work? or simply just select a specific cios such as 249 or 250?

this: https://gbatemp.net/threads/wiiflow-lite.422685/post-10366469 !!! is working better for me.

that's correct is the problem because of the base 38 cios? because that is recommended by people
