Hacking Nintendont

[MassiveRican]

They can brag all they want, like anything else it's got it's pros & cons. I prefer Nintendont over Devo anyday. The only game I still play with Devo is PSO since I can play online with it. If Nintendont devs eventually figure out how to make that work, Devo will officially be extinct... well maybe except for the gba-link support but I don't have a gba cable or a gba anymore, sold them long long ago so really it doesn't affect me any.

Maybe some people will enjoy this small addition:
-added option for wiiu widescreen, if its off your wiiu will resize the picture to be 4:3 and if its on it'll stretch the picture to fullscreen

Awesome update!! The UStealth and 4:3 punch recently is exactly what I had hoped for! Let alone the audio streaming and Bluetooth awesomeness from before. Great work, Fix and the other devs!

One note, when returning to the loader from a Nintendont game (HBC or USB loaders), the screen stays in 4:3 mode. Would it be relatively easy to implement reverting back to widescreen as the button combination to return to the loader is input?

Why don't work in Interworks Pro Controller?

Why don't work in Interworks Pro Controller?

Did you try it? When a controller is reported working it's added to the front post.

I know NBA2K series don't work on nintendont yet (It works on dolphin emu though).
According to the debug log from dolphin emu, it seems that the game was trying to launch another executable after the intro video (
the same point where nintendont freeze with black screen).

I would like to know if it is the reason why this game doesn't work on nintendont?

Thanks in advance

Keep in mind that Dolphin is an Emulator while Nintendont isn't.

I never thought anyone would actually want the 4:3 thing, since you can already do that with your TV settings on either a Wii or Wii U.

You can't do that on the gamepad or using a monitor that doesn't let you change the aspect ratio.

Imo this probably is the reason. Maybe you should try to get a logfile for this game. Simply enable OSReport and Log in the settings. Normally, nintendont should make a log for every dol/elf that is loaded. You can find them in USB/SD:ndebug.log. If you post this log here, maybe FIX94 has a clue.

Have you run the game until it blackscreens? It doesn't look like nintendont is loading a second dol, which is strange. FIX94?

I never thought anyone would actually want the 4:3 thing, since you can already do that with your TV settings on either a Wii or Wii U.

The thing is Wii/Wii U games works with 16:9 ratio, only GCN and VC games works in 4:3, so it's inconvenient having to change aspect ratio every time you switch from Wii, GCN, Wii U.

I haven't been on here in awhile so I had to log in to say thanks to all of the developers and all the people involved in making nintendont what it is, amazing work guys keep it up

From what I understand this is only for playing gamecube games, but as far as I can tell this is the only solution to get the Wii U to work with the gamecube adapter currently. Is there a way to use this to launch brawl so I can use my gamecube controllers with Project M on my Wii U?

nope... why would a program add another controller to a wii game? that doesnt work like that you could never just run nintendont and use new controllers on wii games ever.

Nope, Nintendont doesn't run wii games.

It knows how to read from the device, but it's not designed for patching Wii games. There's no way to do it as-is, and it's not really a reasonable feature request.
