Does any setting need to be changed when injecting mario kart gp? i noticed the option for tri force arcade in the sd settings for the config.bin. Does enabling this affect normal game cube titles?

nope it only affects triforce games.

what that setting does is
if off you got infinite coins ingame
if on you need to insert coins using the c stick

Hello all...!
I've been reading your posts since a while now,other posts related to HID-VPAD and GC related posts and I've a "little problem" with I can't find an answer...

I did some GC injections , games run perfectly, but some don't work with my third party USB-GC adaptater (mine is Hyperkin).

I have a true Nintendo GC Controller attach to it, only the Start/Pause Button working , A, , The Dpad at the very begining so I can effectively choose Enable 60*hz, launch the game but once in the game only A and start/pause work.

I launch the games without Gamepad activated, Games on TV only, I have a wii motion remote with a classic pro controller connected (and with this one I can play ...).

Games with this issue :
Lugi's mansion, Killer 7, Star wars Rebel Strike squadron III

Games that work :
Viewtiful Joe I and II

Another thing...when I exit the game using home on the gamepad, no problem the Wiiu reboots but my output HDMI signal is not correct, the Wiiu Logo is green, and blue is missing in the colors diplayed. I have to unplugg my HDMI cable, then plus it back to have the correct signal, I use not a TV but a 27'' Monitor.

Any ideas....for some answers ?

Many thanks...

Try deleting the temp folder,it worked for me!

Do you know the default path for the temp folder?
I can't even load the app any more it just closes in the task manager and fires off unhandled exceptions on my other laptop.

Some stupid questions here, even if correctly injected some gamecube Games.
Why the tol has a menu called "Nintendont SD card menu"? It needs to take the settings from sd/apps/nintendont?
And if i have a real GC memory card that i have dumped, can i use it to have all my old saves setting MCEMU to "MULTI"? And How?

Cyan · Dec 12, 2017

nintendont read existing settings located on sd:/nincfg.bin file
if you use the autoboot game version, you can't setup the settings you want before launching the game, so this menu lets you generate a nincfg.bin file to put on your SD card.

for example, you want to enable memory card emulation for a game ? this is were you set this option.
if you don't have a config file on the root of your SD card, the game would autoboot but with default settings, which will not let you save your game because memory card is not enabled by default.

another way to generate the setting without using this tool's menu :
1. launch USBLoaderGX, set the global settings to "generate" the config file, select the game, set the settings you want, launch the game. the loader will generate the nincfg.bin
or
2. launch nintendont from HBC, set the settings, launch a game. launching a game will generate the config.
or
3. create a WiiU WiiVC nintendont forwarder without autoboot, set the settings, launch a game.

nincfg.bin is global, nintendont use the same setting file for all games. if you want a different settings per game, you should use USBLoaderGX or Wiiflow to launch your games.

inject the loader's forwarder into a WiiVC channel, then list gamecube games located on SD. nintendont will work with gamepad support.
I'll add gamepad support and fix USBGX when launched from wiivc channel. (I need to generate one so I can test)

Thanks @Cyan for the great help, as always. Then, for the memory cards, i can assume that if iset memory card emulation to on, a virtual memory card is created. There's a way to replace it with my own real memory card backup done with GCMM if i set the MCEMU to MULTI with the same blocks size?

I'm asking because on this memory card i have all my GC saves from the console PAL dayone in 2002, and now it will be fantastic to use them when playing on the gamepad, without playing games from the beginning..

Cyan · Dec 12, 2017

if you already have a memory card file, you can rename it to ID4.raw (if you don't use the "multi" option), one memory card per game will be used based on the GameID4.
if you want to share the same memory card for multiple game, enable the "multi" option, and name the memory card ninmem.raw
as japanese games have incompatibilities (different memcard font, JIS/Ansi), japanese games will use ninmemj.raw

put the file to sd:/saves/

if your GCMM card doesn't work, you might have to create a new card (with dolphin, or SavegameManagerGX) and export your individual savegames (gci) to the new card.

What about the options "Force Widescreen" and "WiiU widescreen"? i have to check both?

Cyan · Dec 12, 2017

they do different things, do not use them if you don't need to !
I explain the differences few (more than few) page back.
just search this thread (use the search engine, check "search this thread only", post from Cyan, search for "widescreen" word)

Zonta85 · Dec 12, 2017

Ok @Cyan, now last question. The ninconfig.bin and the ninmem.raw are stored in the injected game or read on the fly from the sd while the game is running?

EDIT: Nevermind, they're read on the fly.
Then, there's a way to store them in order to have different settings for different games? (Fore example some games supports force progressive while others doesn't)
One of the things that i love about USB loader gx is that it stores different Nintendont settings for different games. There's a way to do something similar with injection?

I don't remmber but also delete the jnustool downloads folder ,if i'm not wrong it's in appdata

Peninsula · Dec 12, 2017

So I can use the gamepad as a controller when doing multiplayer for gamecube games, but not Wii games? Is that correct?

No, there's no way to do it.
Nintendont was originally planed to be integrated inside existing loaders, not being a standalone interface. it reads externally generated settings to know which game to launch and which settings to use.
you need to use USBGX or wiiflow if you plan to use different settings per games.
Currently, USBGX can be used as WiiVC but has these issues :
- it's forcing a reload to cIOS, losing AHBPROT info. as a result, the "banner layout channel" is not available, and some menu are missing textures read from NAND.
- no WiiU Gamepad support inside USBGX interface, but once a game is launched the gamepad works fine.
- No idea what happens when you try to exit a game. (it will try to reload a vWii channel, but can't find it? or maybe nintendont exit back to wiiu menu correctly if WiiVC is detected)

I see you found my post about the widescreen

I hope it was interesting to read and easy to understand. it's not always easy to differentiate buffer vide width and output video width.

Your answer takes other questions

-UsbLoaderGx can be launched as VC Channel, then It reads games installed on WiiU USB formatted hard drive right? Cause You tell me before that Nintendont can't have access to fat 32.
-I use the "list" layout with the covers in the right, so i think that banner layout insn't anche issue for me right?
-Can i use a Wiiremote to navigate inside USB Loader GX (o a wiiu pad pro) like in a real Wii?
-I have to create a UsbLoaderGx injected Channel or there is One ready to use?

P.S. Yes your post was very interesting and i understood everything, cause It was explained in a very Easy way

-UsbLoaderGx can be launched as VC Channel, then It reads games installed on WiiU USB formatted hard drive right?
No, All WiiVC injected channel are locked to SD card. No USB at all.

Cause You tell me before that Nintendont can't have access to fat 32.
fat32, you probably meant USB?
it can access FAT32, but on SD only

If you want USB access, you need to launch USBGX or Nintendont from vWii homebrew, but you will not have WiiU gamepad support.

-I use the "list" layout with the covers in the right, so i think that banner layout insn't anche issue for me right?
You are right. the list layout will work.
only the "banner layout" is having issue because it builds its theme from the NAND's official theme. it requires AHB access to do that, and WiiVC injected channel has AHB access, but USBGX wasn't created to work with that launch method. I'll update/fix it soon.
Oh, and also it seems the "bottom of the animated banner" is missing for the same reason.
If it bother you, you can choose "rotating disc" as game window option in the GUI settings.

-Can i use a Wiiremote to navigate inside USB Loader GX (o a wiiu pad pro) like in a real Wii?
Yes.
But, maybe you need a specific patch (wiimote passthrough?) I don't know, I never injected or created a channel yet.
Adding wiiu gamepad support should be easy thanks to fix94 library.

-I have to create a UsbLoaderGx injected Channel or there is One ready to use?
You have to create it, as generated channel contains copyrighted files from nintendo, we can't share the channel here.
I'll have to create one myself to test the wiiu Gamepad support.

P.S. Yes your post was very interesting and i understood everything, cause It was explained in a very Easy way
Thank you

Yeah, i meant USB

So, i'm asking all these questions for One reason: i'm really enjoying the WiiU gamepad ad screen cause with my work i have Only a a Small amount of times to play videogames, and the gamepad is wonderful because i can play Quick sessions while at bed or while my girlfriend is watching television.
The issue is that playing old games from the gamepad Can be quite espansive if You have a lot of them, 256 G SDXC are very expensive compared to HDD.
Since Nintendont cannot read from USB, the injection seems to be the best solution for me: a 2TB HDD (is this the limit for WiiU formatted drives right?) is cheap and gives me a lot of of space, but i cannot have different Nintendont settings for Every game.
Can a "simple" ninconfig.bin editor (launched from HBL) be a solution?
Or there's another way to edit the settings before launching the injected game?

Cyan · Dec 12, 2017

like I said, you could install a nintendont forwarder channel, with no game to autoboot.
you set the settings you want there, directly in nintendont.
the only "problem" if you can consider it a problem, is that you need to launch a game to generate the nincfg.bin file.

if you set the settings and exit, it will not generate it.

there no homebrew (yet? that's easy to make one) to just edit the settings without launching a game.
adding a "save the settings" option to nintendont is also an easy way to do it.

Hey I've been using this injector for a bit now and it's been working fine until I tried to inject pikmin 2. It gave me an error right away, and if I select "continue" the progress bar will completely stop. Any fixes?

Error:
Could not find part of the path
'C:\Users\PC\Appdata\Local\Temp\WiiVCInjector\SOURCETEMP\ISOEXTRACT'.

Nimrod-002 · Dec 13, 2017

i made a vc of xenoblade chronicles and it took HOURS. and spying on the TEMP folder it seems there are just so many conversions going on while the gui gauge is just stuck in the middle i wonder how many people bailed thinking the process froze, do you really have to extract the iso then rebuild? thats besides the other SIX or seven format conversions after that.
