All other downloads can be found to the left under 'Downloads' HistoryThe name WiiFlow is derived from a combination of Wii and Coverflow. Wii because it was originally made to play Wii games on the Wii and Coverflow because it displays the game covers in a Coverflow style like that found on Apple Inc. products such as the iPhone, iPod, and iTunes. WiiFlow is based on WiiFlow 1.1 by Hibernatus. After Hibernatus completed WiiFlow 1.1, he left the project and released it as open source in 2009. Lustar (Zorglub07) started and became owner of the WiiFlow google source code pages and the first developers were Narolez, thedarkness1981 (nIxx), and later r-win who quickly released 2.0 in 2010. Then Miigotu joined r-win and they released 2.1 and shortly after that 2.2 and eventually 3.0 in 2011. Fix94, OverjoY, and team took over and released 3.1 and after lots of modifying and adding new features released the much improved WiiFlow 4 in 2012. Through the next year 4.1 and 4.2 were released in 2013. Beta's were committed in 2014 but never became a official release. The last commit was WiiFlow beta 4.2.2 r1076. Currently official WiiFlow production has come to a stand still as well as almost all other homebrew apps for the wii and no one knows when or if Fix94 will work on it again. Abdallahterro took r1076 and r1054 and made his own mods called WiiFlow MasterPiece Mod. He's also made it into a pack for SD card with all the necessary files and folders you need for emu nands, plugins, neek2o, d2x cios, carbonik Abz theme, source menu stuff, etc.... Fledge68 has taken r1076 and masterpiece mod and made his own mod of WiiFlow and calls it WiiFlow Lite. WiiFlow Lite is a continuation of WiiFlow with theme changes, updates for nintendont compatibility, and some features removed, such as fanart, ftp server and dios mios (lite) support. WiiFlow Lite is the most up to date and can also be used as a replacement for WiiFlow. |
