yeah theres no need to update titles.txt since gc games arent being made anymore so what would you update? its just a matter of having all of them there and thats it.

True, just thinking of convenience for anyone just getting into Nintendont point of view.
Let's say you are new to it, now you can just download the .dol and go from there. (Just thinking aloud)

Again though if he doesn't want to do that, it's not important, just comfort additions.
I've also been thinking of starting a website like Yafaze was and just have it tell you how to setup Nintendont in detail with all these bells and whistles with downloads included so maybe i'll just do that.... maybe haha

The original post just needs to be updated with a link to it. Hopefully Cyan or FIX94 will do so. I'll update the Google Code page in a bit.

Agreed but I do like making everything nice, maybe I need to learn how to make GUI's (Not neccessarily for Nintendont but in general) to crave these urges haha
No promises (and certainly not a date), but I might eventually make one.

even more code fixes from my earlier new patches, so much to look at in order to apply patches properly
-only apply Patch31A0 if the entry point is below that, fixes 007 from russia with love
-if PADInit cant be found use SIInit instead to start reading pad inputs, fixes alien hominid controls

I thought you might find this useful.

Wow Fix thanks for your hard work! Nintendont is getting better and better every day, awesome. The only game now that doesn't work correctly for me is Prince of Persia Warrior Within. It has the bug with not dying enemies... I would love to see that game fixed because I am nearly at finishing Sands of Time ;) Of course take your time and if it is not possible then no problem, I could just use Dios Mios for that game then... Thanks again for your hard work!

What would make your gui in nintendont (or any gui in nintendont) better that the guis in the 5 loaders that already have them? If they arent better than what already exists, why? I still feel the user interface in nintendont should be their strictly to be able to test nintendont. Not to be a full featured loader.

How would you feel about changing your titles.txt to the gamestdb format that all the other loaders use. That would give us a databes and system to maintain it that anyone can edit. The ability for multiple languages. Support for the different titles used by different regons of the same game. And consistancy with other wii based programs.

im using wii 187 and ntsc papper mario and works perfectly but i know you said pal, im guessing papper mario could have the video issue on the wiiu that was discussed with pal games try this

all settings off except mc emu and video forced ntsc and usb on if your using a usb device.

I had WiiSX GUI in mind for a long time now.
instead of a black MSDos like interface, just a clean and minimal GUI.
No need to have covers, flow, animation, etc.
just a simple "mount device -> list games with scroll feature -> launch", a setting page, and mayyyyybe a Controller setting page where you could create controller.ini dynamically (like with wiiSX) for USB-HID controllers. But now that CC/CCPro are working I guess less people are using their wired HID controllers so it's maybe not require, but would be a nice addition.

I agree with you, and that's why a GUI is very low on the "maybe" list. It's just something I've seen requested a number of times.

To make loading database names almost instant even for people with hundreds of games, I copy the entire list of titles into the RAM at once instead of allocating memory as needed. I didn't want to take up too much room in case it's needed some time in the future. That's why I ignore regions. It would take triple the space for all regions.

Another issue is unsupported characters. I'm pretty sure the current font doesn't include special ones.

Editing titles.txt is easy. That's why I made it an external file. It shouldn't be necessary to edit it though. I don't expect Nintendo to release more GC games. ;)

Edit: To be clear, I was only talking about some sort of minimal GUI. Basically the same thing we've got now, but with a background and truetype font (which would allow for different font sizes and special characters).
