The older channel version works fine (as all my other USB loaders).
      I use the Starnight forwarder and it works just fine.

      i was up late last night trying to work thru a similar problem and found that wii flow was incompatable with the toshiba canvio usb 3.0 hard drive i was using. older wii flow ver. works fine. the newer ver would either redirect back to the wii channels or just lock up depending on how i added the forwarder wad. but when loaded thru homebrew it would work fine. so as a last ditch effort i loaded some games to an older canvio usb 2.0 and everything worked flawless.

      I updated wiiflow from R17 to R18. however when i click on the game cover and get to the play, delete, settings options i'll hit left or right on my control pad and it would be a bit of lag but still work but when i do it fast it'll freeze and ill have to push the power button. it works fine if once wiiflow loads and i press the left/right d-pad.

      i notice the video doesn't have it but my wiiflow has a 3X3 icon next to the home icon, once click a black page with words&numbers come up and bottom saying DSI error reloading in 5 sec. any idea what's that icon for or what its suppose to do?

      when updating r17 to r18, do i need to delete the wiiflow cache&settings or only matter to people when updating wiilfow 2.2 to 3.0+

      I have this installed, and was hoping it would solve three problems I had in 417, but all three remain:
      - when I try to update using the in-app update function, it hangs on "initializing network" for a while, and either remains hung or fails with "failed to initialize network!". Downloading updated database lists and cover images works fine.
      - in the Options screen for each disc/image file, the option buttons for multiple screens overlap each other so they can't be read or clicked.
      - each time I run a disc/image from WiiFlow for the first time since I manually upgraded versions, I have to click Options for that disc and back out of options before clicking Play, otherwise the Wii freezes instantly.

      Anyone seeing these problems in this version and know how to fix them?

      Thanks!

      You should try it with a fresh install. Delete everything from sd/wiiflow and sd/apps/wiiflow except for the boot.dol, icon.png and meta.xml. All the files will be rewritten like it was a new installation the next time you load WiiFlow.

      Thanks; I think that did help. I must have had a setting somewhere that was screwing things up.

      Thank you. But even with this version, it reports "no version found"/"download failed". Once I saw "not enough memory" but only once. How much "memory" (I assume they mean SD space) is needed? I believe this is a 2 GB card with about 300 MB free.
