Make game path ob USB drive configurable #165

What new or enhanced feature are you proposing?

Configurable game path on USB drive

What goal would this enhancement help you achieve?

I've got a Wireless Media Stick (http://hsti.com/products/wirelessmediastick - 
similar products are available from other vendors, too), which connects to my 
WiFi network and exposes a NAS share (e.g.) \\SERVERNAME\SHARENAME as 
\SERVERNAME\SHARENAME on a FAT32 filesystem to the USB host.

The USB host (in this case the Wii) thinks it's reading/writing a regular USB 
drive.

Right now, I can't use it with Wiiflow, as the path \GAMES is hardcoded for 
USB1.

I'd like to be able to configure Wiiflow (even if only via .ini file - right 
now I'd have to change the source, and that may not even work with sub-folders) 
to use a specific (sub)folder to search for games on USB, so I can use the NAS 
to store my backups instead of a USB harddrive (which makes noise and requires 
separate power etc).

Thanks in advance!

sure - is there a build that I can test, or will I have to set up a build 
environment first?

hmm, first test failed, but the issue seems to lie with the stick. contacted 
the vendor for support, will try a testcase with a regular USB stick on 
saturday if I haven't heard back from them by then.

hm. second test files as well.

set

wii_games_dir=%s:/storage/games/wii

in the GENERAL section in sd:/apps/wiiflow/wiiflow.ini

put files into usb:/storage/games/wii/something/something.wbfs

... and nothing was found, i.e. I was asked to install game or select 
partition; either USB-port.
