Hacking Nintendont

[sonictopfan]

now it seems that ntsc 1.0 used yet another __CARDUnlock...
-added yet another __CARDUnlock IPL patch
edit: another correction, this now hopefully works?
-ipl patch correction, its more complex than I thought

I will test and report... "Now Loading..."

Nope, sorry I still get the same results, my third party MC works fine but the first party MCs I have only work if I take them off and reinsert them after the game starts.

Hi,

How force progressive scan work for pal games? Every time I tried to force progressive in a way or another (i.e. force progressive and/or force pal/ntsc 480p) I got a freeze with every game.

I managed to get progressive mode with Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance PAL on a PAL Wii connected to my TV (Samsung TV UE40ES6000) with component cables and with the Wii’s menu set to 480p:

1. If I run it without any forced option, my TV will report 720×576 / 50i when the game starts. If I had the B button pressed at boot, the prompt for choosing 60Hz or 50Hz will come up, and if I select 60Hz my TV will change to report 720×480 / 60i. The edges of letters and other fine details are not crisp, as expected from an interlaced image.
2. If I only enable "Force Progressive", my TV will report 720×480 / 60p right from the moment the game boots, and it will remain like that irrespective of whether, having had the B button pressed at boot, I choose 60Hz or 50Hz. Even though the TV reports 480p, the edges of letters and other fine details are still not crisp, though. As a matter of fact, it looks the same as 1.
3. If I enable "Force Progressive", "Video: Forced", "Videomode: NTSC" my TV will report 720×480 / 60p right from the moment the game boots too. Having had the B button pressed at boot, a prompt asking whether to run the game in progressive mode will come up. Only if I choose yes, the edges of letters and other fine details will be noticeable crispier that with the previous attempts. The TV will be reporting 720×480 / 60p irrespective of whether I choose Yes or No, but the crispiness is definitely different.

At neither point did the game freeze, though. I have not tried this with other games.

I do not know if this is the expected way of obtaining progressive in PAL, but if it is, I find it rather cumbersome. I would have expected step 2 to give me the results of step 3 without even having to have the B button pressed at boot and choose progressive output (i.e. if I activate Force Progressive, that is the mode I expect without requiring further interaction). Is requiring all 3 options PLUS having the B button pressed at boot time a design decision? If so, why? Or it even working is an unexpected behavior?

My PS2 controller works in the HID test but it doesn't work with nintendont I have the controller.ini in the root of the sd card and the root of my usb hdd

I do not know if this is the expected way of obtaining progressive in PAL

keep in mind 99% of the PAL games dont have any handling code for progressive so its just a luck game if you activate some remaining code for that.

Then why have the option at all?

Because I asked for it back.
Having it optional is the best part.

Most games that I know of have no issue with it.

I wanted to make sure; for Triforce saves, it's a .bin and a .raw, right? Also, I added a "Return to..." setting to the wishlist, and also re-ordered and cleaned it up. (It was a mess in the BB Code Editor)

I see. I was surprised to see a dialog with the game’s own typography that no PAL console will ever display.

I found that this list identifies which GameCube PAL games can be forced into progressive mode, and Fire Emblem is indeed there.

there are many fake white wiiremotes and third party ones, if its not the official nintendo wii remote its likely it wont work, nintendont is very iffy with fake/3rd party wii remotes.

 

[darkstalker]

too bad((( maybe the creators will fix that?)))

you dont need memory cards just turn Memory card emulation On and it will save on the SD/usb whatever device you use for your isos.

 

[darkstalker]

But i need to have the original memory card)))
I know nintendont can emulate the GC memory card, and i use it)))

if you can provide a photo of your white wiimote because it might not be third party and you just did something wrong
