If no HDD, load Channels Cover-Flow #371

My suggestion is that, when WiiFlow loads, if it cannot find a harddrive for 5 
seconds, it automatically loads the Channel Cover-Flow.  If the HDD initializes 
within 30 seconds after that, Wii-Flow's normal USB view.

We've thought about it, but we first have to determine the amount of work 
needed for this. 
Wiiflow depends on the harddrive or SD being available. If the harddrive is not 
available, you might have no storage. No storage means no wiiflow. That's how 
it's currently build.

Well it needs to be implemented.  Wiiflow cannot be set as a "boot" app until 
it is.  (If a hdd isn't inserted a person couldn't start their wii!!)

The solution would be to simply check the wiiflow.ini to see where the storage 
folders are pointing.  If they are pointed to USB folders you just need to 
disable the saving of settings or save settings to a temporary file where 
wiiflow is located and add them in the next time the HDD is attached.

No, it's not that easy. And besides that, the vast majority of our users have a 
hdd specially for their wii. So for them it's not an issue of having the hdd 
inserted or not. If wiiflow is located on the sd card, it's easy indeed. But 
it's the other situations that makes this harder. 

Anyway, I don't see this issue as a must.

I agree with your comment about the most users having a HD.  I feel like if it 
is indeed installed on the SD card, it could be an option. Otherwise no check 
needs to happen.
Otherwise, the current default is perfectly acceptable when there's HD 
attached,  where it eventually just exits back to the system menu or homebrew 
channel when it boots without a USB drive attached.

Fixed in dev svn r404, will be back ported to wiiflow eventually if dev doesnt 
get synced directly.
