Hacking Nintendont

[Adeka]

i waited for 30 mins last night, didnt work so i left it on all night and it never worked

Using the gamecube bios?

 

[daxtsu]

lol the max a game should take is like 2 min if it doesnt boot it wont boot for instance over the hedje takes 50 seconds

Yeah, some games take an absurdly long time to boot in Nintendont, like Ikaruga. It takes upwards of 2 minutes without a cache. With a cache, it takes about 5 seconds to get past the initial loading screen.

v1.71 is up; but no .dol

I've seen people mention that Nintendont creates 3 files when it boots. I know what the first two are: ninconfig.bin and ndebug.log, but what's the third one?

If I understood the code correctly, it creates a nincfg.bin in the device where you have nintendont's dol and another in the device where you have the games. So it would be those two plus the log file, i think

It creates meta.xml when it boots. That's how the xml file always has the correct current version.

No, It doesn't create it. Nintendont won't even load if you don't have the meta.xml; what it does is modify it with the latest version.

What's up with that? Shouldn't there be one? Kinda trivial releasing a new version without it. That would mean that if 1.71 cannot be tested by any of the users, why would the Google Code page need to be updated? Confusing.

It writes to the file then. That's 2 files it writes to. Nincfg.bin and meta.xml. Are those file writes absolutely necessary.

I like to have the description in HBC up to date without manually editing the meta.xml each time i update the app. That's why I commited that change to the code. I actually wanted it to write only if the version in the file was different, but I wasn't sure how to do it.

Feel free to improve that code if you can, the devs have other stuff In their agenda and the code works as it is so it was accepted.

You wouldn't happen to know why 1.71 doesn't have a boot.dol file would you? I'm confused as to why there isn't one to download on the Google Code page, as JuanLeOnardO pointed out. Just thought you'd need a heads up

Edit: Got ninja'd below

hmm, at least compiling isn't that hard

Yeah, I've bad luck compiling source codes, I'm the last one on earth to touch compilers with a ten foot pole; I was merely pointing out that some attention should be drawn to the fact there was no .dol file despite having a commission made on the Google Code page, nothing more. I hope that someone adds the file.

My guess would be that the code wasn't so big that it would have an immediate impact on user experience, since the commit didn't change the version either. Other than that, the only explanation would be that crediar forgot to compile it before committing.


Even so, Etheboss is right. Nintendont is easy to compile.

Again, since that's the case, no harm no foul, with that said, I don't trust myself at all when it comes to compiling, even if it's a simple process.

Thanks. I won't concern myself with the XML file.

Can't you use a Wii U controller pro connected via USB?
Doest it only carry charge for battery and no input data?

Exactly, you need a USB adapter to use it.

or there was no change to effect the end user so why bother passing out a dol that will act no different then the last revision ..... sounds like preperation for something big

Im hoping for Trifroce time!

 

[WiiFreasko]

I smell a triforce update coming soon...

i followed every step (on my wii) on both sd card and usb, but when the game loaded it automatically tried to use the gamecube ports, instead of my ps3 dualshock. I have the controller.ini set up. the controller is plugged into the back usb port. what am i doing wrong?
