Version 0.3
I figured out what was wrong with my net code that was keeping it from working with anything other than readable text. So now I can make games that download compressed binary data. Huzzah. The result of this is that now when Wii Exhibit receives the refreshed image from the server it gets it as a nice small PNG file. So it uses less bandwidth and should be noticeably more responsive for anyone with a slow connection.

I’ve added support for the classic controller. You could always move the cursor with it (using the right analog stick). But now you can change your line type using the directional pad (just like you can with a wiimote) and draw using the A or R button.

I’ve also updated the home menu slightly. Now you can scroll network pages using a classic controller’s left analog stick or directional pad or the analog stick on a nunchuck controller. The networking functionality still isn’t really being used for much but I’d like to eventually make it so you can see who is online and have cross homebrew chat and achievements/trophies that other people can see and all the kinds of stuff you get with PSN and Xbox Live.

Wiiflow 4.0.3 (r433)
So here is 4.0.3 for you guys, alot of changes were made again, wiiflow is faster, safer, more stable, etc.
I'll just copy-paste a few changes now in here:
-recompiled mload modules for hermes cIOS
-added sdhc module for hermes cIOS
-fixed booting wii games from sd card
-improved wii game support via sd card, now you can use hermes, wanin and d2x (not d2x only anymore)
-moved some more stuff to boot wii games into the external booter
-added gecko debug prints to external booter
-automatically disabling savegame emulator if you want to boot a wii game via hermes or waninkoko cIOS
-added new option to wiiflow.ini [GENERAL] section, "display_music_info" (enabled by default), if you disable it the information on top of the screen if music got changed will be hidden
-fixed fanart usage
-fixed not working force FAT (should fix dolphin-emu sd card)
-changed plugin INI system, check out the plugin pack v6
-FINALLY rewrote the game list creator code, the new one is faster and smaller, I cant promise its bugfree though :P
-fixed wiiflow autoboot feature (for programs like crap)
-made gprintf, fmt and sfmt a bit more safe
-fixed some important stuff in wiiflow itself, less corruption of the dol and more static stuff to get it back to stability
-fixed creation of the playlog
-fixed and changed the way Wiiflow checks for neek2o (uneek2o r92 beta 12+ req)
-fixed IOS reloading for Wii games in neek2o mode
-fixed Devolution support of memcard.bin's less than 16MB (Thanks Tueidj)
-fixed using .wip codes in wii games
-added support for wiiflow internal boot method in neek2o, so you can use cheats, debugger etc if you boot channels in neek2o (doesnt work if you are in real nand and just select boot neek)
-fixed using usb gecko debugger without cheats enabled
-fixed rebooting wiiflow with holding down b and pressing home twice
-some general cleanup and bugfixing stuff

Version 3.0-784
Hey, long time no commits :).
So to compensate lets bring back some speed to the emulation.
Change a little the way the vertex are send to the gpu,
This first implementation changes dx9 a lot and dx11 a little to increase the parallelism between the cpu and gpu.
Ogl: is my next step in ogl is a little more trickier so i have to take a little more time.
The original concept is Marcos idea, with my little touch to make it even more faster.
What to look for: SPEEEEEDDD :).
Please test it a lot and let me know if you see any problem.
In dx9 the code is prepared to fall back to the previous implementation if your card does not support the amount of buffers needed.
So if you did not experience any speed gains you know where is the problem :).
For the ones with more experience and compression of the code please test changing the amount and size of the buffers to tune this for your specific machine.
The current values are the sweet spot for my machine.
All must Thanks Marcos, I hate him for giving good ideas when I'm full of work.

szs v1.07a r4137

- "wszst NORMALIZE --kcl ...": In the old versions, the KCL was patched in place and the total size of the KCL was not changed. If the new KCL was larger, parameters were changes in up to 5 iteration steps until the new KCL was less or equal the old size. Now a complete new KCL is created with the optimal settings and the size may shrink or grow.
If 'INPLACE' is added to the '--kcl list', the old behavior becomes active.

- wzszt CHECK: The logging of sub checks (KCL+KMP) is now better integrated into the main log and there is now only one summary line for all.

- KCL creation tuned.

- The auto-add library holds now also unique files of folder 'posteffect'.
Try "wszst AUTOADD ./path/to/Race/Course/" to add all supported files.

- New archive format: WU8 (Wiimms U8)
WU8 is like U8, but the sub files are coded as patch for Nintendos original files. This removes any code of Nintendo and a compressed WU8 (default) is in general smaller than the related SZS. For encoding end decoding an auto-add archive is needed (see http://szs.wiimm.de/doc/autoadd).

- wszst NORMALIZE/PATCH:
- Accept options --dest and --DEST for an alternative destination path.
- Accept options --u8 and --wu8 to define the new (W)U8-archive format.

- Object DB updated.
