How do i exit a game. when i click on the home button on gamepad the wii u freezes. and i have to hit power button on wii u itself. that's while in a game. if i'm on the nintendon't screen, the home button works. I'm using 5.460

That could have been it, yeah.
I was using a somewhat old version of Nintendont previous to this one, so perhaps something changed in between.
Oddly enough, the settings I had previously were still there (assuming that's the nincfg.bin).

So exactly what path and name should the memory card be in the SD?
saves are always on the same place on the root of your sd card or usb deive(depending on where you stored your isos).

just take a look inside and see what files are in there and you know wich settings you need.

I'm currently getting a black screen when using the forwarder channel and the latest Nintendont dol. However if I launch Nintendont through the Wii HBC using a Wiimote it loads fine. If I then exit out and return to the Wiiu menu and launch the forwarder with the gamepad it again works as it should with the gamepad. It will then load everytime with no problems from the Wiiu forwarder. The problem is that as soon as I power the WIIU down and start again, the forwarder reverts back to a black screen until I relaunch from the Wii HBC and again exit out back to the WIIU menu and once again the forwarder channel will start working again. Very odd.
seems to me like an sd card issue, but what do you think its latest nintendont had manny revs very fast on the last few days so if you think you are on latest you might not be, say the actual number you see on main menu.

wiiu should reboot, it does reboot for me just fine pressing the home button.

That's it.
I was using my FAT32 HDD before, I forgot the saves were stored on the device where I have the games.
I simply wanted to make a quick test and copied two games or so to the SD (because I don't have more space :/), so that makes sense why it created the memcard instead of using the previous one I had, I just need to copy it from the USB.

So I guess that leaves only the bug with the Minus button not changing the face buttons layout with the Gamepad.
Outside of that I think it all works fine, only wish I could load games from USB instead of SD. :P

Is there any way to use the Wii U Pro controller as player 1? It seems to always set as player 2, even if I elect not to use the gamepad at launch.

I understand the complications with this, and I could just play with the gamepad, but it'd be nice to have the option.

Im currently using V5.460. I've tried different SD cards with the same results. I've also tried the channel version that worked great but an old dol was used that wouldn't exit without crashing. Ideally I would just make my own Nintendont WiiVC channel containing the latest dol but alas I'm on Mac and can't figure how to run the injection scripts :(

yes that was fixed...

to update just download this file below and rename it to boot.dol and replace it inside nintendont folder

https://github.com/FIX94/Nintendont...5561a6b4a52ce0635e/loader/loader.dol?raw=true
How would I replace the file on the Wii U (not vWii) app though? It's installed to NAND, there's no 'nintendont folder' to replace the file in.

It's not just a forwarder, because vWii and Wii U have different versions, so replacing the file on the SD card will do nothing.
