Hacking Nintendont

[Nintendo Maniac]

Dang, sounds awesome. Where can I get one of those CCPro adapters?

Awesome? It's just a classic controller pro, but with a USB adapter for use on PC, Android, etc. Have you never used a Classic controller pro or something?

As for the adapter, it can be bought from a veriety of websites - here's a list of where it's sold

Note however that there is a sequence with how the adapter works. For two controllers you plug in the controllers first, then you plug in the USB adapter. For one controller you plug in the USB adapter first, then the controller.

Aww, the widescreen hack doesn't fill the entire screen :-(


Anyways... this is amazing!

Oh, and the video has some lag..?

 

[Nintendo Maniac]

Aww, the widescreen hack doesn't fill the entire screen :-(

I believe that's inherent to the way the Wii U's upscales in vWii mode.

cred said in that video comment that nintendont can be implemented into existing usb loaders like dios mios and devolution are now

I meant the fact it works on a Wii U (on vWii mode) is pretty awesome

It makes me very happy as this great emulator is advancing vwii mode, hurts when I asked on twitter for crediar tester I never answer, I'm a fan of the scene and love to try everything. Well now expect the best emulator out there now

It's not an emulator.

It's not an emulator.

we all know that the architecture of the Wii is the same as that of gc, lacked only the interpreter and therefore is easier, but do not forget that the above software is so in part if the nintendont emulator.

Me thinks you don't know what a virtual machine is...

You keep using that word "emulator", I do not think it means what you think it means.

Virtual machine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


A virtual machine (VM) is a software implemented abstraction of the underlying hardware, which is presented to the application layer of the system. Virtual machines may be based on specifications of a hypothetical computer or emulate the computer architecture and functions of a real world computer.

 

[rubencube]

Again the architecture is the same, but this worked from 0.

You might want to look up "emulate" while you're at it, since it's a concept, and not a specific piece of technology.

The difference between virtualization and emulation is like the difference between running a Windows program through WINE on Linux, and running an SNES game through SNES9X on Windows.

WINE

Technically WINE is a compatibility layer, which is how Devolution go about doing things.

 

[wolf-snake]

still that doesn't mean that nintendon't is an emulator

 

[Rydian]

Technically WINE is a compatibility layer, which is how Devolution go about doing things.

The point was to show how you can get compatibility without having to emulate the CPU itself, passing the required instructions to the physical CPU as-is.

still that doesn't mean that nintendon't is an emulator

Nintendon't does not emulate the Wii's CPU or GPU.

Again the architecture is the same, but this worked from 0.

Architecture being the same does not equate to emulation. Emulation isn't that simple; the Wii U uses a compatibility layer to run Wii games. To emulate a Wii using a Wii U would be counterproductive and would be impossible to retain full speed and 100% compatibility. Nintendon't is a virtual machine as it has access to the hardware as opposed to simulating hardware through software.. End of story.

Can see this little debate turning into 4-6 page's of "Ohhh yes it is" & "Ohhh no it isn't"... Fun, Fun, Fun...

I ask who cares? As long as it works well does the label matter?
