ntfs partition 2 (containing the wbfs folder) changed at startup #260

I have no SD, only a USB disk with 2 partitions: primary formatted FAT (partition 1) and logic formatted NTFS (partition 2).

My wiiflow_lite.ini contains this:

[WII] current_save_emunand=default favorites=no fix480p=no last_cf_mode=1 partition=2 prefer_usb=yes save_emulation=0 savepartition=2 show_full_banner=no sort=0 wii_games_dir=%s:/wbfs

But when I start my WII, it says it doesn't find the usb1:/wbfs path. If I manually change within the WiifloLite menu the WII games partition to usb2, it works, but the wiiflow_lite.ini is changed this way:

[WII] current_save_emunand=default favorites=no fix480p=no last_cf_mode=1 partition=1 prefer_usb=yes save_emulation=0 savepartition=1 show_full_banner=no sort=0 wii_games_dir=%s:/wbfs

I don't know why it changed partition and savepartitions, but i don't think it should do it.

These two lines mean you want to use that drive for:

load/save refers to game isos and save games.

Yes, but it's changed (from 2 to 1) after boot...

gingerbeardman commented 3 years ago

It changed in the ini because you changed it in the WFL menu.

LukeZS commented 3 years ago

Nope. I didn't change anything in the Wiiflow Menu. I didn't even enter the Wiiflow Menu...

I'm just quoting what you already said:

If I manually change within the WiifloLite menu the WII games partition to usb2, it works, but the wiiflow_lite.ini is changed this way:

So please try to explain again.

Ha! after all these months i decided to look into this issue and its easy to see the problem.

you have - prefer_usb=yes

setting it to 'no' will solve your problem. my code problem is it sets the partition to 'USB1' when a usb device is connected. I have no way of knowing you prefer 'usb2'.

it was added because gingerbeardman sometimes disconnects his usb drive which causes wiiflow to think he wants SD only so when he reconnects his hard drive he had to manually turn of sd only and set partition back to usb1. I'll look into a better way to fix this. perhaps change it to - prefered_partition=x where x will be 0 for sd, 1 for usb1, 2 for usb2, -1 for those that dont want to use this setting.

Thanks! And sorry to inadvertently be the cause of this one 😅
