well changing region on the saves is diferent from changing region on the ios.

if you change an ntsc title id region to pla it wont make it use a pal save since the game itself has code to serch for the ntsc save id so your only option is to change the gci region wich i dont know but probably there is a way, changing the game id will never make it search for a diferent id save that is not how it works, since the game codding for the save function its still searching for the ntsc save anyway.

Yes and that i was talking about, probably i was misunderstood: the only reason to change a title id is in savegames.
I've changed a lot of saves from ntsc--->pal or from pal---> ntsc just editing the title id inside the gci file with an hex editor and they work flawlessly, trust me

yes, if you edit the title header and change the region letter then nintendont wont know what region the game is for and will probably use the wrong videocode.

Nintendont used to use the game ID, but as of my recent PR (v4.428), it now uses bi2.bin. Changing the header won't affect the region code. (This fixes some prototype games with the RELSAB ID, e.g. the SADX preview.)

The actual value that needs to be changed is the u32 at 0x458, which can be 0 (Japan), 1 (USA), 2 (PAL), or 4 (South Korea; may be Wii only). I've also seen 3 on the Wii Menu Changer disc, which might indicate region-free. (On Wii, the value is located at 0x4E000.)

@pedro702 @GerbilSoft and @GreyWolf you were so kind with your answers on my boring and maybe stupid questions, then i would ask if you can help me with this too

I have 4 original GC controllers but the cable is short, so i need to buy a cable extender but right now i'm using the DS3 with a simple usb extender that works great so i would know if is possible to have the rumble.

I have to change something in the .ini files to enable rumble with dual shock 3?
In my .ini file (054C_0268.ini) that works great these lines are missing:

Rumble=

RumbleType=

RumbleDataLen=

RumbleDataOn=

RumbleDataOff=

RumbleTransferLen=

RumbleTransfers=

Should i add them and fill with something?

You can't use a Wii remote by itself as a controller. That's what the four lights means.

You need to either connect a a GameCube controller, Classic Controller (Pro), or a Wii U Pro controller. (Nunchuk+Remote might work as well.)

Also, v3.387 is out of date. Current release as of this post is v4.430.

Use the internal updater in the Settings menu to update to v4.430, then restart Nintendont.

I think that setting has been disabled on Wii U. Try deleting your config file.

What size is your emulated memory card? I remember seeing this issue a while back when using large cards.

Two megabytes aka 251 blocks.

I changed the menu to prevent enabling Native Control on Wii U. Unfortunately, that also prevents you from turning it off if it's already on.

Solution is to delete nincfg.bin from the storage device and redo the settings.

Arimis777Saint · Dec 11, 2016

I deleted nincfg.bin from storage and re tried it again... I still cant change it to off and games load but all 4 lights stay on and I cant press any buttons What now? please help

I dont have internet access at home so I cant dl the gcn md5. Could someone please post a link to the zip? Thanks.

@GerbilSoft Ok, so, excuse me if in the past days i made a lot of questions about video modes without any apparent reason. The thing is that in the past days some of my games that before worked well right now are not booting: it seems that with video mode set on "auto" or "none" Nintendont isn't able to detect the PAL video mode from them if they are converted in cISO (but detects them correctly if shrunked or fullsize) and the user must force them to PAL50/60 in order to boot them.

More detailed: these games need to be booted at 720x576i @50hz (PAL50) or 720x480i @60hz (PAL60).
The auto" or "none" options should load in PAL50, and then the user will be able to select the PAL60 In the compatible games with the ingame selector (or before the loading choosing the prpgressive patch if the game is compatible according to the compatibility list).

Nintendont try to load them at 720x480i (PAL60) resulting in a black screen (and most of the time with the loader stucked and the 4 lights of the wiiremote).

Redump still seems to be gone. GC Forever has a mirror.
