Ava Oelund Lol, I seem to talk tooooo much. I don't realize it when in recording but after going back and reviewing it, holy moly, I start getting impatient. Lol I need to work on that.
@@Bobby8451 Hey Bobby , can you download the wii covers from the internet in bulk like Usb loader instead of one at a time. I got too many games to do them one at time . Or if anyone else might know.
@@Bobby8451 Just wandering , I have my video game apps and emulators installed on my SD card. Do I just transfer all my emulators and apps stored on my SD card to my 2tb external hard drive attached to my wii usb? I can never get my emulators and apps to run off of my usb port but the thing that I can get to run from my usb is my Wii and GameCube games via USB loader.
glad i came back and took a look at your video. I was getting so frustrated with why my cover art would not show up on wiiflow, had to use that trick with the bat file to rename em. Most of these recent wiiflow guides stink.
Just to say a big thanks. I have found these to be the best YT tutorials for WiiFlow. I have managed to set-up Wii Flow with Wii & SNES with all the covers. I'm now following the same principle for Megadrive/Genesis.
The only thing with Genesis is I have to select the SD partition and GenPlusGX plugin each time. Any ideas to get this to auto find. Like the SNES does?
Im gonna try do this tomorrow!!! I thought I'd done everything on the Wii but dang Wiiflow's looking gooood! Def keen to set this up! Its 3am in Australia so I'm sleeping, night!
@@Jon-lp6en Yeh m8! Got most of it working except some of the emulators. I got SNES going with covers in snes9x but am trying to have all covers in Wiiflow like I saw in this other tutorial. But yeh Wiiflows great. Love all the cover options like how to have them setout.

That would make for a long video, maybe too long. I'll see if I can some how come up with a short video of this. May take a little while cause I would have to find all these apps and write down the links. Quite a bit of work doing that.
Bobby8451 do you get a exception dsi occurred when having to many covers and games? I'm only testing nes with all covers right now then I'll move on to sega and snes. but I'm having issues when going to nes. it loads covers very slowly and then I'll sometimes get exception dsi occurred. does this happen to you?
Bobby8451 hello hope u can help me it's me again when I got Wii flow it takes me back to Wii menu IAM doing something wrong I hope to hear from u ur video always help me
nice tutorial. i have a question: my covers for nes, snes,64, etc appear. but they look like boxes of wii games. how can i change the images into the classic form of retro boxes?
One final question, would you know if its possible merging VC games into other corresponding source menu plugins? For e.g loading supermario64 VC from the not64 source menu coverflow. This is mainly for nintendo64 as its emulation still isn't perfect for many games.
Hello. Thanks for videos. Don't know if you still mess around with Wii, but I am missing the "fceugx.ini" file. Can not find any info online where to get one.
I have a modded Wii with WiiFlow installed and several emulators including Genesis and Super Nintendo. A question that I have is that when I go into a Wiiflow I do have one remote that is connected and works just fine. When I play Wii games I can then press the home button and connect additional remotes to play those. However, if I go into the Sega Genesis or super Nintendo emulators, only one remote stays connected and I would like to be able to play multiplayer on some of those retro games. Any idea of how I can get another remote connected once in one of those emulators? Thanks
Hey Bobby, any luck getting boxcovers to work for FBA, NeoGeo, CPS1, CPS2 roms? I've seen tons of videos on NES, SNES, Sega, but not the arcade stuff. Its not the same cause I downloaded the MAME, FBA, and all those packs, named em right, and reloaded cache and all that but nothing. Ideas?
@Bobby8451 your tutorials are top notch! Is this still the recommended version to use for wiiflow, although it's a little outdated? I will literally pay you to do an up to date tutorial on this! Haha
There are probably more updated versions of wiiflow. I haven't messed with wiiflow in a while. I use usbloader gx not wiiflow. I should do another video on this someday. Lol

Hey mate, how'd u get your emulators like MAME and SNES ones as tiles/channels on your main menu? Even the wadmanager? I have to go into Wiiflow or Homebrew Channel to go into them. Looks tons better on your setup than mine. I've used that crap program adding sources/Wii game channels but not emulators. I wanna know how to move the channels around too.

hi thanks for your help i got a western digital passport in white looks good on the wii ive set everything up and its all because of your help as im such a idiot when it comes to this stuff only problem i seem to have is that the genplusgx emulator when i play a 2 player game like golden axe or streets of rage it doesnt detect a second controller but does in the snes9x app? any idea what to do?
Is it possible to boot directly into games using Not64 and WiiSX the same way Nintendont does?? Or does it always take you to the emulator menu after loading a rom? Any feedback would be much appreciated as Ive been able to find nothing on this.
the link for the box art on gbatemp don't have the nintendo related consoles anymore so not sure why they were removed so is there an alternate site where we can download them?
my covers are loading from my covers folder vs boxcovers folder. Any thoughts on why? my roms are loading fine. I'm using the ini file that came with Wii flow. I've reloaded cache. how do you switch from flat covers to box covers? Thanks
I did install the wiiflow only problem right when I put play the screen goes black need help the wiiflow reads my thumb drive for sure but screen goes black
also have an idea why wiisx goes to black screen the back to main screen aswell with the mastermodpack? the only solution to this I've had is using the alternate stuff .dol as the plugin.
This may be a dumb question but how do you get a micro sd card with a write protection to work?..seems I can't add any files to my sd card due to a write protection error...please help!
wish you would have included how to install the wad manager. having a lot of problems in that area, and everything I'm reading about that application / installing wads is making me nervous that I'll brick the thing.
It’s been 4 years but if you still need help follow this: first download multi mod manager i don’t have a link so I’m sorry for that if you have 7Z go on it and press extract files then put it in apps. That worked for me
Hi Bob , Look what I found here! Remember that I asked you for help? yeah, those looking for finds .... just made a happy Brazilian! thank you, sorry I do not know how to speak English, our friendship would be greater. thank you from the heart.
I don't get it. I've done the start bit but u say open wadmanager on the Wii but theres no Wadmanager showing up??? We only put Wiiflow on the SD Card so how does Wadmanager come into it? I'm confused, did I miss something?
NekroMcFly Just one. I've got my 1Tb HHD formatted to FAT32 and I had to use GUIFORMAT tool to format that big of drive. I used Wii backup manager to install Wii games and DMToolbox to install GameCube and I have a tutorial going over both Wii and GameCube game installation.

@Bobby8451 hey bobby theres a slight detail you overlooked some people have to change the setting that hides certain file types when making the .bat file also what do i change the file extension to for N64 and sega cd thanks for your tutorials they help me out a lot buddy good work
Jokers Wild Gaming So the settings ur referring to is on the computer in folder options, the box u unchecked for hiding file extensions? Is that's what ur talking about?
yh I thought u didnt know sorry what is the extension I put in the txt document for n64 and Sega CD for the boxart also I got my GameCube games on wiiflow but when run them to play they don't work any ideas have I done something wrong or is it a setting I need to change
Jokers Wild Gaming Whatever ur game extensions are is what ur suppose to put in the txt document. If ur n64 ROMs are have "n64" for their file extension then u should just replace the " nes" with "n64" . Same with Sega. What file extension ur Sega has then replace "nes" with the Sega extension.
need help when i put in usb drive games show up but when i try to put another drive in the same games from that one show up i cant get games from other drives to show up in wiiflow

Not that hard, just download the emulators from emuparadise, or search for ***emulator for wii. Copy it to the apps file from the SD root, then download your roms

Hey Bobbi , can you download the wii covers from the internet in bulk like Usb loader instead of one at a time. I got too many games to do them one at time . Or if anyone else might know?
Hi, I have a huge issue. I was using wiiflow just fine and I tried to add a 2cd gc game (wii backup manager) I didnt change anything and got 2 folders, when I launched wiiflow the first screen is for wii game and I could only see 1 cover, the rest of the games had a message saying loading and an image of a sd card, after loading ended There are no cover just the ?. Tried redownloading them and same results, updated cache but same thing, if I press B the game freezes or I get the DSI error screen. Already deleted the channel and save file, tried reinstalling and same results, cant use wiiflow start configurator... can you please help me? Thanks a lot

I have gamecube games on the hard drive. usb loader gx see's them and I can play. But on wiiflow when I try to click the Gamecube pic it says disabled. What now? And I have some rom's on the hard drive as well but retroarch cant find them on the usb drive. same kind of issue with wii flow. how should I have rom's on the hard drive? HELP... :(
Hey, do you always need the sd card pluged in to launch wiiflow , cuz when my sd card is not in the wii and i launch wiiflow its just go back to the home screen ...
Chookie Joncas I'm going to do another tutorial on this as soon as I get acouple other tutorials out of the way. I haven't messed around with wiiflow all that much yet.
thanks...i dont know how to install plugins...only have wii games on wiiflow...i cant even have my game cube games..but i do have them trought usb loader gx...id like everything just right on wiiflow
If anybody can help me with this issue that would be great... So I followed the directions of the video to the T, but what ended up happening is when I go into wiiflow, it tells me that there are no games installed, which is untrue. I put the games in a wrong folder that's in the NES folder, at the root of my SD card. The other thing that happened which is strange, is the only cover that would appear in the wiiflow when scrolling through, is the cover for Adventures of Link. None of the other covers would appear and I did the same thing to all of them so I'm not sure why that would happen. I even set the wiiflow to get the pictures and ROMs for my SD card. I'm really confused why this is happening :/
Hey baby thank you so much for all the amazing tutorials. I am running all my games through wiiflow and Im only having one issue. My NeoCD works (thanks to you and DarkUmbra) BUT I cant get the titles to load automatically like all the other rom/emulators. I know its something to do with the "arguments" which is where is shows wiiflow where to get the roms from. But Ive tried every combination I can find and it takes me to the emulator but doesnt start the game chosen. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
derrick davis That I'm not exactly sure, haven't even thought about that. I may have to look into that. I assuming u can't do that but I could be wrong.
Bobby8451 I've done that before. I t is possible. I don't remember how exactly. Off the top of my head, you could put the wiiflow app on your USB, delete the wiiflow.ini file and take out the SD card. when you run wiiflow and download a cover, it should have no where to put them except on the USB.
Bobby, another great video. Can you do a video how to reset to factory settings so I can start over with all updated software? I have corrupted files and can't find anything wrong on my sys check. But I think I installed an outdated IOS at the beginning or something. Dyou think it would help if I installed all of the IOS and Cios from the installers again? Thanks Great accent btw, I'm from WV.
bobby, thanks for the response. I just can't get everything working at the same time. I can get it where I can play wii games on gloader but not wiiflow then vica versa then mame doesn't work on wiiflow but does on the forwarder. Then after messin with it and re formatting and trying again I had to switch the gloader to 250 from 249. It's just weird. I wish you would do a video about installing the ios's. Or are the wads in the video you made about the homebrew channel supposed to install the ios's without going into the spot where you have to put 249 then beta whatever, base 59? Does that question make sense?
Bobby, I found out some wii games like modern warfare 3 work on ios 250 while most others work on 249 which makes the configurable loader the best for me. I loaded the ios's manually by using an ios installer. If you use a wad like the ones that say ios 222 v5, and not an installer, do you get the same outcome?
Muscle Tribe of Excellence I assume it's the same, cause I've used both and had no problems, but yeah these ios, cios r a bit confusing. I'm still learning about all this stuff myself. Lol
hi Iam looking for help on my wiiflow . ive been backing up my gc games with wiiflow but now I keep getting isi stack dump error it frist started with a dsi error . I cant fix it ive been reading online & seen videos mo help at all. can you help ?
Cover loading take ages on the first Start ups. Did i will get faster soon? Usb Loader GX is realy faster but only have Wii and gamecube (nintendont) supportet.

hey ive recently bought a wii and have followed your videos and got my super nintendo roms up and running so thanks very much. i have one question for you if you dont mind. what is the best external hard drive in your opinion for the wii? im thinking upto 1tb but im not very good with the tech stuff and dont want to get something that not compatable. Thanks again
I have a 1Tb Toshiba hhd and a 1Tb WD had and they both work fine. I use one for my games the other for watching movies.
could you possibly give me the model numbers of the ones you use? id rather get something thats been tried and known to work than get something and it not be compatible Thanks again really appriciate your help and videos
+wigma This is the link to the 1Tb WD My Passport Ultra hdd I have: www.walmart.com/ip/WD-My-Passport-Ultra-1TB-External-Hard-Drive-Assorted-Colors/44786025
This is the link to the 1Tb Toshiba had I have: www.bestbuy.com/site/toshiba-canvio-basics-1tb-external-usb-3-0-portable-hard-drive-black/1749877.p?id=1219509181015
If u buy one of theses hhds then u will need to download GUIFORMAT to format the hhd to FAT32. Here's the link: en.miui.com/thread-46959-1-1.html
hi thanks for your help i got a western digital passport in white looks good on the wii ive set everything up and its all because of your help as im such a idiot when it comes to this stuff only problem i seem to have is that the genplusgx emulator when i play a 2 player game like golden axe or streets of rage it doesnt detect a second controller but does in the snes9x app? any idea what to do?
+wigma No I don't know the cause, maybe it's an emulator thing, I'd try a different game to see if it detects 2nd player.
Is it possible to boot directly into games using Not64 and WiiSX the same way Nintendont does?? Or does it always take you to the emulator menu after loading a rom? Any feedback would be much appreciated as Ive been able to find nothing on this.
Jimmy Jackson It always takes u back to the menu, don't know why it always has. Kinda stupid but u know
Thanks for the info.
the link for the box art on gbatemp don't have the nintendo related consoles anymore so not sure why they were removed so is there an alternate site where we can download them?
Hey just wondering how you got you wii menu with all the apps like yours
What make Wiiflow different or better than USBLoaderGX or just adding all the emulators to the Wii System Menu via a WAD Manager?
I don't like wiiflow personally. I'd rather use usb loader gx.
Cool, then I'll just stick with USB Loader
my covers are loading from my covers folder vs boxcovers folder. Any thoughts on why? my roms are loading fine. I'm using the ini file that came with Wii flow. I've reloaded cache. how do you switch from flat covers to box covers? Thanks
Bobby what box art size must it be to work on wiiflow? like shrunken spine size? i have them this size Size 3366 x 2100
Im not sure,I'll have to look that up.
Check here: amp.reddit.com/r/WiiHacks/comments/91alqt/wiiflow_cover_art_issues/
I did install the wiiflow only problem right when I put play the screen goes black need help the wiiflow reads my thumb drive for sure but screen goes black
also have an idea why wiisx goes to black screen the back to main screen aswell with the mastermodpack? the only solution to this I've had is using the alternate stuff .dol as the plugin.
Sorry Ive managed to solve my own problem. Apparently Wiiflow doesn't like loading your bios from an SD card when your game partition is on a usb.
This may be a dumb question but how do you get a micro sd card with a write protection to work?..seems I can't add any files to my sd card due to a write protection error...please help!
wish you would have included how to install the wad manager. having a lot of problems in that area, and everything I'm reading about that application / installing wads is making me nervous that I'll brick the thing.
It’s been 4 years but if you still need help follow this: first download multi mod manager i don’t have a link so I’m sorry for that if you have 7Z go on it and press extract files then put it in apps. That worked for me
Hi Bob , Look what I found here! Remember that I asked you for help? yeah, those looking for finds .... just made a happy Brazilian! thank you, sorry I do not know how to speak English, our friendship would be greater. thank you from the heart.
I don't get it. I've done the start bit but u say open wadmanager on the Wii but theres no Wadmanager showing up??? We only put Wiiflow on the SD Card so how does Wadmanager come into it? I'm confused, did I miss something?
I'm a bit late but when I play a game my screen just goes black and my controller turns off. Any idea why?
Hey man, thanks for the video. This helped me out big time!
It needs to create two partition NTFS and FAT32 on the HDD to play Wii and Gamecube games? Or just one partition?
NekroMcFly Just one. I've got my 1Tb HHD formatted to FAT32 and I had to use GUIFORMAT tool to format that big of drive. I used Wii backup manager to install Wii games and DMToolbox to install GameCube and I have a tutorial going over both Wii and GameCube game installation.
Ok, thanks. I'll check that tutorial.
does anyone knows how to remove the whoosh sound from the coverflow?
I have no idea. Sorry. I haven't messed with wiiflow for a while now I use USB loader gx and other emulaters.
A ok man! Thx for the help! :)
I am still new to the whole WiiFlow thing. I used to use Nintendont separately and now I am using the modpack. How do I use my GameCube ISO's?
Can u please help me. I just got a Wii and it's my first mod I'm trying. I'm using USB loader and I'm have trouble getting the GameCube games to work
For Mario Kart Wii and other games that had Nintendo WFC, Can you use custom servers such as Wiimmfi?
MKWii Kid2009 Ahman, I seriously don't know. I never messed with that before.
MKWii Kid2009 i swear I see you on all homebrew videos
Love your tutorials, very well explained. One thing though - FIX THAT DAMN SMOKE DETECTOR!!
Bfid23 Yeah I know, I had put a battery in it that come out my multimeter. but evidently it was no good. Worked for a little while though. Lol Seems alot of people just love commenting about my smoke detector. Thanx for suffering through my beeping tutorial.
Bobby8451 haha all good - its worth it. Just had me running around my house testing mine until I realized it was yours!
Bfid23 LOL
Are the covers for the wiiflow??
@Bobby8451 hey bobby theres a slight detail you overlooked some people have to change the setting that hides certain file types when making the .bat file also what do i change the file extension to for N64 and sega cd thanks for your tutorials they help me out a lot buddy good work
Jokers Wild Gaming So the settings ur referring to is on the computer in folder options, the box u unchecked for hiding file extensions? Is that's what ur talking about?
yh I thought u didnt know sorry what is the extension I put in the txt document for n64 and Sega CD for the boxart also I got my GameCube games on wiiflow but when run them to play they don't work any ideas have I done something wrong or is it a setting I need to change
Jokers Wild Gaming Whatever ur game extensions are is what ur suppose to put in the txt document. If ur n64 ROMs are have "n64" for their file extension then u should just replace the " nes" with "n64" . Same with Sega. What file extension ur Sega has then replace "nes" with the Sega extension.
Jokers Wild Gaming Does ur GameCube and Wii games play with other loaders like diosmios or nintendont or USB loader gx?
yh nintendont they do but wiiflow and usb loader gx no as i just got 1 hdd for wii and another just gamecube maybe that could be the problem
need help when i put in usb drive
games show up but when i try to
put another drive in the same games from
that one show up i cant get games from
other drives to show up in wiiflow
For wiiflow, it says I can play GCN games, but I have to enable it but I don’t know how
$2000!!! Wow, I didn't realize any were missing as of yet until now when u told me, so thanks man for that. I'll look into that. Hey if u find out anything else just let me know and I would appreciate it a lot.
Bobby8451 when are we going to get tutorial for Sega master system plus and intellivision emulator on wii.
Bobby8451 I'm so sad that I can't download wii games on my usb can you HELP do I need wiiflow or usb loader to dowload it.please HELP
Bobby8451 can you do a tutorial on famicom and super famicom games
Bobby8451 can you do a tutorial on retro arch for the wii
Not that hard, just download the emulators from emuparadise, or search for ***emulator for wii. Copy it to the apps file from the SD root, then download your roms
I have try all different ways to put everything on the will but it’s not goin on there I don’t know wat I’m doin wrong I have the homeb but nothing is popin up on it
I haven't messed around with wiiflow in a long time. What's not popping up? 🤔
Do you know how to add music to wiiflow so that every track has it own cover art?
Hi Bobby, when I click on the Gamecube icon it says disabled. Do you know how to enable it? All the other ones it asks me to select a partition. I do and it keeps taking me back to the same screen. Thank you for your help.
Thanks for the instruction man. Nice video!!
Where did you get all of those channels WADs?
Thanks! it worked great for me on Wiisx, Not64 and Wii2600.
matahimdef Cool! Glad to help.
@@Bobby8451 where did you get all of those wads on the channel menu?
@@SuperNitroZ64 Go here: gbatemp.net/threads/mastershoes-emu-forwarder-collection-2nd-edition.309678/ and u can download all emulator wads. I've also got all VC wads too as well as all wiiware.
Hey man thanks for taking the time to do this. I have a WD 2Tb passport that I can't get my Wii to recognize even when formatted to Fat32. Any idea why that might be? I used a program called EaseUS partition to format it.
Paul Reglin Try another port in back of your Wii and I used GUIFORMAT to format my drive. Also I heard there are some hhd's the Wii won't recognize.
Hi Bobby, I am in the right port for sure and for some reason after updating my wiiflow and nintendont to that masterpiece version it has no issues. Thanks!
Hello I got this usual problem in a lot of people but there is a lot of videos that throws you off after installing wiiflow plugged my usb thumb drive it does ready the usb because all the games are in there but screen goes black after pressing play
my wii flow just doesnt start up i click it and it sends me back to the main menu before i can even see my games
Bobby8451 Just wandering , I have my video game apps and emulators installed on my SD card. Do I just transfer all my emulators and apps stored on my SD card to my 2tb external hard drive attached to my wii usb? I can never get my emulators and apps to run off of my usb port but the thing that I can get to run from my usb is my Wii and GameCube games via USB loader.
Well, ur emulators and apps HAVE TO stay on ur sd card, but as for ur games, they can put on ur hdd.
goooood work man
Ehab Elsherif Thanx, I'm planning on redoing this one and doing a lot more going over wiiflow as soon as I learn more about it.
thanx man.
I followed everything you said but when I open wiiflow and hit the "B" button it takes me to the source page with only 5 icons and it looks nothing like yours. Any Help please asap, Thanks!!
Only five? How many emulators u actually have installed on ur Wii?
I have the same problem. When I select the gamecube icon it says "Disabled"
This was working great for me, gamecube and wii games through wiiflow. But now selecting any wii game (I have loaded on my USB external had) starts wii sports. Even when wii sports is not in my disc drive. Any ideas?
I think I may have initiated a rip of wii sports which is causing this rift. Do I have to wipe and reload all the wii games?
PCSMMA Tell you the truth, I'm not sure what would be causing that. I'll try and look into that.
Finally got around to looking in to this. I just re formatted the partition of the hdd and reinstalled the games.
Would you care to do a tutorial on how to get Visual Boy Advance GX and DeSmuWe to work properly?
Yeah I'll check it out. We are talking about the Wii?
Oh my bad it is the Wii. So what seems to be the problem with vba? Nothing to it really.
As for DeSmuWe, the Wii won't emulate ds hardly at all. Runs way to slow. But I'll still check it out.
I can boot the emulator and everything, get the roms working etc but the lag, oh the lag. I don't think I could play 10 minutes. Is that anything you've encountered. And by the way, if it makes any difference, I'm Swedish so my Wii is a PAL.
You talking about the DS emulator or the vba being slow?
Bobby8451
how do i load gamecube games
i already have one that someone installed but im trying to put another iso gamecube and
it only reads the game that the other person installed
do i need to do something like wbfs manager?
Wow how did you get a orange background and that stuff
Hi Bobby8541 I have wiiflow but when I go into it and click on select partition then click SD it won't change over to USB1 like yours does in your video any help please thanks
Does the games work on other loaders?
Hello cant seem to do the mega drive one tried following your steps but get confused as my roms files for mega drive is .bit and the pictures are .png, which way do i write the rename in the txt document like this for example ("@ echo off ren *.bit *.gen.png") and which ini file do i go into to get the cover folder thanks in advance
Never heard of ".bit" but if your roms do have an extension like .bit then it would look like this
"@ echo off
ren *.png *.bit.png"
Hope this helps
opps it was (.bin) but just replaced and it worked thanks bobby :D !!
How to get all the emulators on wiiflow? I only have gamecube option
Could you do a tutorial on Blue MSX-Wii? It’s hard to find someone that knows how to do it.
I'll sure look into it.
How do I install the different channels for name Sega and the rest
Hey Bobbi , can you download the wii covers from the internet in bulk like Usb loader instead of one at a time. I got too many games to do them one at time . Or if anyone else might know?
Nice job!! How can i put the background music on wiiflow?? Can you Help me?? Thanks!
I followed all steps, but when I try to play games I got a black screen. can u help me with that?
Hi, I have a huge issue. I was using wiiflow just fine and I tried to add a 2cd gc game (wii backup manager) I didnt change anything and got 2 folders, when I launched wiiflow the first screen is for wii game and I could only see 1 cover, the rest of the games had a message saying loading and an image of a sd card, after loading ended There are no cover just the ?.

1 my wii games won't run, they just make make my screen turn black and 2 when I select gamecube it says "disabled" Please help
Brandon Balandrano I'm guessing u may have to go into settings and select ur gamecube mode to whatever gamecube loader u r using, like diosmios or nintendont etc.
I have gamecube games on the hard drive. usb loader gx see's them and I can play. But on wiiflow when I try to click the Gamecube pic it says disabled. What now? And I have some rom's on the hard drive as well but retroarch cant find them on the usb drive. same kind of issue with wii flow. how should I have rom's on the hard drive? HELP... :(
OverKast same says disabled for me :(
Hey, do you always need the sd card pluged in to launch wiiflow , cuz when my sd card is not in the wii and i launch wiiflow its just go back to the home screen ...
You just answered your own question
@@annawoodward6230 it's called bipolarity XD
Whenever I open wiiflow it loads for a while and then tells me "Exception (DSI) occured". How can i fix?
I'm not sure, I haven't had that problem yet.
Delete it and redownload it, had the same problem with Riivolution.
I would like to know how to install emulators gc,nin,snes,etc on wiiflow can't seem to have anything on source menu...help please
Chookie Joncas I'm going to do another tutorial on this as soon as I get acouple other tutorials out of the way. I haven't messed around with wiiflow all that much yet.
thanks...i dont know how to install plugins...only have wii games on wiiflow...i cant even have my game cube games..but i do have them trought usb loader gx...id like everything just right on wiiflow
this guy is awesome
Bobby8451 can you do a tutorial on intellivision and Atari jaguar this weekend please
I don't have ios249 and I get an error every time I try to mount the SD in Wii SD Slot, any suggestions?
MasterChief0522 I never see 249, 236 is what I use.
I meant 247, sorry, but I do think I have 236 so I'll try that.
If anybody can help me with this issue that would be great... So I followed the directions of the video to the T, but what ended up happening is when I go into wiiflow, it tells me that there are no games installed, which is untrue. I put the games in a wrong folder that's in the NES folder, at the root of my SD card. The other thing that happened which is strange, is the only cover that would appear in the wiiflow when scrolling through, is the cover for Adventures of Link. None of the other covers would appear and I did the same thing to all of them so I'm not sure why that would happen. I even set the wiiflow to get the pictures and ROMs for my SD card. I'm really confused why this is happening :/
do i have to take out the (USA) on nes roms to match the box art?
Hey baby thank you so much for all the amazing tutorials. I am running all my games through wiiflow and Im only having one issue. My NeoCD works (thanks to you and DarkUmbra) BUT I cant get the titles to load automatically like all the other rom/emulators. I know its something to do with the "arguments" which is where is shows wiiflow where to get the roms from. But Ive tried every combination I can find and it takes me to the emulator but doesnt start the game chosen. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
hey bobby is there a way to put the box covers to show up from a usb hd they take up to much space on the sd card
derrick davis That I'm not exactly sure, haven't even thought about that. I may have to look into that. I assuming u can't do that but I could be wrong.
ok i will be looking around to see if it's possible as well
Bobby8451 I've done that before. I t is possible. I don't remember how exactly. Off the top of my head, you could put the wiiflow app on your USB, delete the wiiflow.ini file and take out the SD card. when you run wiiflow and download a cover, it should have no where to put them except on the USB.
Bobby, another great video. Can you do a video how to reset to factory settings so I can start over with all updated software? I have corrupted files and can't find anything wrong on my sys check. But I think I installed an outdated IOS at the beginning or something. Dyou think it would help if I installed all of the IOS and Cios from the installers again? Thanks Great accent btw, I'm from WV.
Muscle Tribe of Excellence Why do u think u installed outdated ios? What's it doing that worries u?
bobby, thanks for the response. I just can't get everything working at the same time. I can get it where I can play wii games on gloader but not wiiflow then vica versa then mame doesn't work on wiiflow but does on the forwarder. Then after messin with it and re formatting and trying again I had to switch the gloader to 250 from 249. It's just weird. I wish you would do a video about installing the ios's. Or are the wads in the video you made about the homebrew channel supposed to install the ios's without going into the spot where you have to put 249 then beta whatever, base 59? Does that question make sense?
Muscle Tribe of Excellence Yeah I need to learn more about the wiiflow and do tutorial on that. I'd like to start using wiiflow.
Bobby, I found out some wii games like modern warfare 3 work on ios 250 while most others work on 249 which makes the configurable loader the best for me. I loaded the ios's manually by using an ios installer. If you use a wad like the ones that say ios 222 v5, and not an installer, do you get the same outcome?
Muscle Tribe of Excellence I assume it's the same, cause I've used both and had no problems, but yeah these ios, cios r a bit confusing. I'm still learning about all this stuff myself. Lol
Does wiiflow read games ONLY off USB1?
Beatrice Waithaka No, go into settings and look foe game partition and select SD card, usb1, and I believe usb2.
How did you get all those channels with console names on their

Cover loading take ages on the first Start ups. Did i will get faster soon? Usb Loader GX is realy faster but only have Wii and gamecube (nintendont) supportet. I guess its something with the cover cache. Is there a way to speed cover loading up for wiiflow to? I will start it! And DANG covers!!!! Everywhere :)!
Grizzly TnT Lol, I don't know if there's a way to speed it up. I know it's pain stackenly dlow.
Allright! I stay Usb Loader GX than. Thx anyway :)!
