      Really can't wait to try the new version out. I've been using the mod since r3 and it's been looking pretty good.

      works good, super mario sunshine plays perfect after slow intro. mario golf is slow in cut scenes, works good during game play. and wind waker is near perfect after intro. great job, I've been waiting for this for so long

      Nop... still canīt run Wii Party or Back to the Future with this release, even after forcing IOS and blocking IOS reload. They run perfect on USB Loader GX.

      No it can not. And that wouldn't be much use since it's impossible to play GC games from a USB HDD. It may eventually support ripping to an SD card, though.

      Can anyone recommend a good theme that works with wiiflow R418 and that allows for several different layouts of covers (eg: grid, lines etc) - good for a large number of games.

      carbonik is good or u could request a theme here

      Thanks I will check out carbonik.
      One other question. Under settings, download covers and titles there are the options of all or just missing covers and then a second option which just says gametdb. I have successfully downloaded all my covers and as far as i can tell they came from gametdb. Now i am wondering if this second option just renames some games (like the wii sport not wii revoution) or whether it imports information about each game into wiiflow (like it has on its website such as game description and rating , required accessories etc). could someone let me know what this option does and if it is info about the games does this slow down wiiflow loading/scrolling through covers?
      (sorry for asking not just trying it for myself but I have a very newly softmodded wii and am so excited that it actually does what i wanted it too I am afraid to mess with any settings until I know what they do).

      Oh I thought it might display the additional information as it says on the gametdb that it can do this? I know I shouldn't watch utube vids but I saw someone with game info displayed on their wiiflow - I think.
      Does anyone know if there is a way to do this on wiiflow then? I'm looking for things like number of players, age rating, optional and required accessories etc

      The only thing close to that that I can find is this and that's not WiiFlow (it's USB Loader GX). As far as I know, it can't be done on WiiFlow. I would love to be wrong about that, though. That would be cool.

      After selecting the game - while you're on the screen with the play and back buttons. press the plus button for game info such as controllers, genre, release date. while there press right on the control pad to view the synopsis of the game.

      Hi there. I have read all the guides, have all the latest files (dx2, Wiiflow, etc.) and Wiiflow works great for playing games off my WBFS partition on my USB. No issues at all.

      The problem happens when I try nand emulation. I went through all those guides and I still can't get it to see my VC and N64 (that I own) games from the FAT partition on my usb. It will show all the channels that I have in the nand emulation, but the games just won't show up.

      Is there a common problem that causes this? A setting that many people miss, etc.? I have looked and looked and tried and tried, but I just can't get it to work.

      EDIT: I am able to choose USB1 as a partition, and all it will show is the Wiiflow itself (all the covers are wiiflow). It says it can't find any games. I have 3 N64 games loaded through ShowMii.

      Have you been through the WiiFlow NAND Emulation guide by Pob (link in my sig)?

      Is there a way to make the Wiiflow channel work? The .dol version works through Homebrew Channel but the channel doesn't work and restarts the wii. In the wiki it says i have to install ios58 and i did but it won't work. I tried 3 different downloads (carbonic, classc and one more i don't remember). The older channel version works fine (as all my other USB loaders).
