just pushed up v3.0 with lots of neat stuff.
-added LZO compression when using HaxxStation to make things send over quicker
-added program init prints to easily debug any issues with it
-added GameYob and nesDS emulators with dummy ROMs so you can directly send over .nes/.gb/.gbc files
For the .nes/.gb/.gbc files you can just put them into the "srl" folder as well, the program will then automatically build the nds rom to send over.
I'm getting stuck on Stopping WC24. I'm guessing it's the same step I was getting stuck on on the <2.1 versions.

Also getting stuck on Stopping WC24 for some reason. Gonna try disabling it under settings if it isn't already.
edit: Disabled it and it still gets stuck there. Strange.
I wonder if it needs the opposite, having it and wlan enabled or something, I remember having both enabled maybe only for that case that call is needed and it otherwise just freezes? That'd be quite questionable design by nintendo but oh well, would not be the first time.

I had wifi and wc24 enabled, but was not connected to wifi.

Tried it out. Works great, thanks a lot :yaynds::yaywii:

Something I could notice however is that when you do several sequenced downloads, whether transmitting the same or a different software, the download speed gets slower and slower, up to a point that the download stops in mid-process (whether it's downloading the download station client or the software we want to play). This gets kinda restarted when restarting the Wii, but keeps happening if you do several downloads again. As far as it goes it doesn't really affect anything besides cancelling if it gets too slow, but I find it worth mentioning. Thanks anyway, it's surely a wonderful application

maybe you should try set the delay timing higher then because at a certain limit (seems to be different from wifi chip to chip) the sends just get so close together that it starts failing sends and taking forever to actually get a packet sent over.

I get -33 printed repeatedly.
Of course it does LOL good thing I stepped away from the code for a bit; that entire code bit was not required and actually did something that is not even required for this, only got into the code in the first place thanks to my copy-paste from some nintendont code in which I copied too much over, so now I pushed v3.1 which should fix this issue and should make it boot quicker too :)

just to test it i have tried to boot it with my n3ds xl (EUR) . It is stuck on "Downloading..." but the packets finished downloading
as I already said a couple times now and as it says in the readme, increase the delay timing then since this is obviously a send issue.

Retails roms don't work. Only download play demos, nes/gbc roms (I think roms smaller than 2 MB), and homebrew without dldi.

edit: nes (guessing gbc haven't tried yet, edit: gbc works fine, pokemon crystal is 2.1 mb and sends) roms over 2 mb don't work, which is strange since the nesDS singles builds a rom that's about 3.3 MB with a 2.1 MB rom in it. How come the nesDS build you have increase the file size so much?

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    run h2testw on it
