[REQ] - Settings Menu Consolidation

[Hakaisha]

WiiFlow Lite has added many new features to give the end user much more control over their setup within WiiFlow itself, thus removing the requirement of having to edit wiiflow_lite.ini every time a change is desired. But as a result, there are now currently a total of 12 Settings pages.

I suggest that the current 12 Settings pages can be consolidated to a simpler 3-4 pages, and make things easier and quicker to find. This action would basically further categorize the Settings menu, and also create appropriate places for future additions to more easily drop into.

Below I've typed out a basic idea of how I could see this working:

[Simple Version] _Page1

1. WiiFlow General
2. Covers
3. Language
4. Partitions

Page2

1. Source Menu
2. Screen
3. Music
4. Path Manager

Page3

1. Nand Emulation Settings
2. Gamecube Settings
3. Homebrew Settings
4. Fanart Settings

This reminds me of how I wanted to make the settings menu a long time ago but i was told it was too confusing which didn't make sense to me.

I wanted to make it so when you clicked the settings icon it would take you to a page like the home menu with eight buttons for you to choose what type of settings you want to mess with. similar to usb loader gx which lets you choose loader settings, game settings, custom paths, etc.... for me the first screen would have:

wiiflow settings gui settings wii settings gc settings emunand settings manage covers

you get the idea. so ya i get what your saying and is possible just don't no when.

Hi, sorry to bump this one, but I have a suggestion! It would be nice if you added Nintendont Native Control to the "Gamecube Settings" menu. It took me a while to figure out that Wiiflow wasn't loading my regular Nintendont settings and a GBATemp post to help me find the wiiflow_lite.ini file to change the control scheme to Native Control. It's not a huge deal bc anyone doing Homebrew should be used to using GPATemp and Reddit and such. But it would just be a nice QOL thing to add to the next major update :).

PS you're probably aware of this, but Native Control is the only way to make wireless GCN controllers like Wavebirds work. But it cuts out USB controllers that are not the Wii Remote. Interesting stuff.

Hi. Sorry, I know this is an old thread but I would like to suggest that unlock read speed for nintendont is added to Gamecube settings. In the global and the per game settings would be great! It is a nice QOL in general and it is required for some romhacks to function properly (i.e. Sonic Rider Tournament Edition).

Thanks in advance!
