I've got a new problem:
I run the program nintendont, and sometimes the games load flawlessly. Nintendont has started, however, to freeze every single time a game is loaded for the first time. It gets stuck at Loading, please wait... and just stays there. I used to delete the nintcfg file that it creates on the root and that usually fixed it, but this time I just restarted the wii and started the game again, without changing a thing. The next time the game went through the "init" process with that line of text about the kernel and all that, and then promptly went to black screen and turned off my wii. Again, I rebooted my wii and started the game THE EXACT SAME WAY, without changing anything at all again, and this time it started correctly.
Is nintendont usually this hit and miss with you guys?
