- WiiFlow compatibility (for autoload ROMs on startup) still not implemented
It looks like v1.3 uses Not64 style meta.xml arguments, that is basically anything that exists in the settings cfg file can be used as a meta.xml argument (something that is particularly useful for N64 games as it thereby allows you automatically select a different control scheme for different games).

While I've not yet actually tested it out, perhaps try using Not64's according arguments for autoboot in Wii64 v1.3?

e.g.:

Code: Select all

<arguments>
</arg>rompath = "sd:/wii64/roms/game.z64"</arg>
	</arguments>
Oh and, if it's anything like recent versions of Not64, you'll want to use "fat:/" for USB devices; otherwise if it's like the older versions of Not64 then "usb:/" would be correct.

Tried those arguments and didn't work.

As I said, Wii64 doesn't have support for load roms via arguments yet.
However, emu_kidid said that there's interest in it, and he will review my code for try to add WiiFlow compatibility.
I used FIX94's Wii64 code since it's based in Wii64 Beta 1.2, Not64 arguments addenum to Wii64 will not be possible because Not64 is based in Wii64 Beta 1.1.

It's my impression that the one in the root of the drive is for the GameCube while the one in "apps/not64/" is for the Wii.

Also note that both not64 and wii64 have continued developing; the latest wii64 (released 2 months ago) can be found here:
