Abz’s WiiFlow MasterMod Pack
A member of the Wii modding community made a useful compilation of everything you’ll need to install on your USB hard drive (or SD card) with Wiiflow.
My goal of these tutorials is to simplify the Wii modding process as much as possible. When you extract this folder, unfortunately, it will look anything but simple. There are lots and lots of files here, but you won’t need them all– probably not even most of them. So, let me try and break it down for you.
First of all, it’s a .7z file, so you’ll need the free program 7zip to extract it. Now, let’s see what the official “info” file included in this archive has to say about what’s included (and then I’ll simplify it all):
Simplified explanation
So, the purpose of all these files is to give you everything you’ll possibly need to set up and configure WiiFlow. It includes everything from the WiiFlow application itself, to emulators and plugins required to use them, to custom themes. However, you probably won’t need 90% of this stuff.
It’s very useful if you want the quickest setup with minimal configuration. I’d recommend extracting it to a folder on your computer, and then copying only what you need to your Wii drive. I’ll go over this more down below.
Configuring your Wii drive
I recommend storing games, plugins, and emulators on a USB drive. This guide assumes the user is using USB; however, you can use an SD card for everything if you prefer.
To prepare your USB drive to work with the Wii, format it to FAT32 using GUI Format
If you are going with USB, make sure WiiFlow reads from it. To do so, run WiiFlow on your Wii. Then, go to options, and make sure “SD only” is set to off.
Adding Wii games
To get WiiFlow to read your Wii games, they must be in WBFS format. Use Wii Backup Manager to convert your dumped Wii ISOs if you need to.
Then, they must be stored in a folder called “wbfs” at the root of your hard drive. The naming format is a little particular, and requires the Title ID of your game:
wbfs/game title [game ID]/game ID.wbfs
Example: SD/wbfs/Mario Kart Wii [RMCE01]/RMCE01.wbfs
Adding GameCube games
Nintendont is required to play GameCube backups on a Wii. Download it here if you haven’t already, scroll down to the readme, and follow the steps under “quick installation”.
GameCube games must be formatted differently than Wii games. First of all, they must be in ISO format. Then, they must be placed in a folder called “games” in the root of your SD card or hard drive:
games/game name/game.iso
Example: SD/games/Mario Kart Double Dash!/game.iso
Adding retro games
To make emulated games directly accessible in the WiiFlow interface, we will set them up as plugins. If you’re using a USB drive, this is the only part of the WiiFlow program we’ll store on that instead of the SD card.
The Plugins folder
On your Wii USB drive, create a wiiflow folder if it’s not already there. Then, inside of that, create a plugins folder. Inside USB://wiiflow/plugins is where everything plugin-related is configured.
For every emulator you want to include, you’ll need the .dol file, as well as a .ini config file and a .ogg sound file to go with it.
We can make use of the WiiFlow MasterMod Pack here to save some time. You can copy everything from MasterMod Pack/wiiflow/plugins to USB://wiiflow/plugins. This will include every emulator for the Wii already pre-configured.
Or, you can configure everything manually like I did:
Configuring Emulators
List of Emulators available on Wii
The Emulators I recommend most are:
FCEUGX (NES)
Snes9xGX (SNES)
Not64 (N64)
Place each .dol file in the plugins folder. Netflix dmg. As stated above, for every emulator plugin, there’s also a .ini config file and a .ogg sound file to go with it
Here’s an example of what one of the .ini files looks like – more info below.
Adding ROMs
The default game storage location for ROMs (and save games) will differ with each emulator. You will have to read up for each emulator you download for where on your USB drive to store your games, and then change the “romdir” parameter in the .ini file to match it. The default for the emulators listed above is:
FCEUGX – sd root/fceugx/roms
Snes9xGX – sd root/snes9xgx/roms
Not64 – sd root/not64/roms
Also, read here for information on how to obtain your own ROMs
Adding Game Covers
Another thing you may notice inside the wiiflow folder from the MasterMod is a folder called “boxcovers”. This is where cover information for all your games are stored.
For Wii and GameCube games
This is nice and straightforward. You can download box art directly using WiiFlow if your Wii is connected to the internet. Alternatively, you can get your own from a site like gametdb.com. Make sure the cover is a PNG file with the game’s title ID as its name, and place it inside the boxcovers folder.
For retro games
A folder corresponding to the emulator must be placed inside the boxcovers folder. Then, the box art PNG file must have the same name as the ROM it corresponds to. Finally, the “coverfolder” parameter in the .ini file must point to that directory.
