Is it even possible to have two different versions of the same app?

For example, I want to have two versions of wiiflow (just wanna have two different themes for different plugins). So, what I did was I renamed both folders of one of the wiiflow verisons in the apps folder and in the root of my sd card and it shows two wiiflow apps in the homebrew channel but when I launch them they both open with the same theme (probably because of the wiiflow folder in the rood of the sd card since it is the default one for config).

This is what I have:

1. sd:/apps/wiiflow and sd:/wiiflow/

2. sd:/apps/wiiflow_lite and sd:/wiiflow_lite/

Is there a way to work around it? I mean, maybe change the path to the folder in the root somewhere in the settings or something?

Click to expand...

Did you ever find a solution to this?

I'm wanting 2 separate forwarders/channels to go to WiiFlow ... I'd like one to go to Wii games and the other to go to GameCube games.

I actually tried the exact same thing, placed them in different "app" folders and different versions with no luck. Every time I open either WiiFlow it retains the same settings/configuration as the other one.

A very obscure issue (trust me, I know) but something I've been hoping to solve.

    @SylverReZ, 1) except final fantasy 16. 2) why would I have a console's whole catalogue if most of the games are either shovelware or terrible games?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Kind of a waste, but the allure of all those games over 100,000
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some shovel ware with low ratings you might enjoy more than the ratings would sugest

    Cruisn on the Wii is one of my personal examples of that, it's considered one of the worst games of all time, I loved it and completed it several times.

    The trick for me was to go into the settings and crank up the Wiimote sensitivity to the max and it gets twitchy but you can win that way lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Lots of other games I enjoyed that reviews would say otherwise lol
