Hacking Nintendont

[Bimmel]

Exactly what does it show you?
I have my games like this:

/games/Super Smash Bros. Melee [GALE01]/game.iso

You don't need the [PAL] to verify that, only one letter changes for all regions
It is either E (NTSC), P (PAL) or J (JAP).
Instead of GFEP01 (PAL), the NTSC ID is GFEE01
Be sure to have the iso renamed to "game.iso" and not "game.iso.iso" by enabling file extensions.

Okay.. I changed my path to this:

That's the full path: E:\Games\Fire Emblem Path of Radiance [GFEP01]

..still there stands something else. "FIRE EMBLEM GC EU" on Nintendont.

No, don't get me wrong. In Nintendont everything works fine, the games are there. But in USB Loader GX there are no Gamecube games at all. Wii games are working fine. Do I need to install Dios Mios on the vWii or something? I dont get it. : (

you just need to enable seeing gc games in the option on usbloader gx they are probably disabled put a check on gc games.

You can also edit the ISO with a HEX editor, but i would not reccomend it.

Oh man, I got it. The path for Gamecube games was set to "SD:games/" .. for some strange reason. And I gets even stranger. When I try to start any game there pops up a message about that the game is on the HDD and I can only click on copy or show SD. Did I mess up somewhere?

Yeah, that seems risky to me too.. thanks anyway. : )

There's gotta be an option to change the default device from USB/HDD to SD in USB Loader GX, search for it in settings.

you probably need the version of usbloadergx on cyan signature.

You have to set "Gamecube Loader" from MIOS to Nintendont.

Thanks, all of you. : )

To sum this up: I updated The Loader in the options and set the Gamecube Loader to Nintendont. So far so good.

Now when I try to start a game this message pops up: "To use HID with Nintendont you need the usb1:/controller.ini file"

I placed the ini file on the HDD, but it does not work.. hm, this is complicated. : /

With today's timing patch update, the intro to Tony Hawks Pro Skater 4 plays at the proper speed not sure how to update the compatibility list but that should be changed to green. I haven't played this game in over a decade so I'm thrilled!




Thanks so much for the help. If I don't use multi, would I have to start each game one by one and format a card for each one, and then transfer the gci to each card? Sounds like a lot of work. So I may do multi. If I do multi, what do I have to do for JP/PAL games? I don't think they can all be on the same card but maybe I'm mistaken?

JAP has to be its own card. I think PAL/USA is interchangeable. Someone else can maybe verify?

I personally prefer separate mem cards for each game. just in case corruption occurs, you only lose 1 save rather than lots

There should be ANOTHER option that enables HID.
Switch it to OFF so you can play with Bluetooth controllers.

When you say "it doesn't work" what exactly is happening?

What controller are you using?

Make sure it is named controller.ini. Make sure file extensions are activiated on your PC (otherwise you could end up with a file names controller.ini.ini. Make sure the controller.ini matches your controller. Make yure your hdd is attached to the below USB and HID device it attached to the USB above (seeing it from a sideway lying wii). On WiiU its just the other way around.

 

[FIX94]

Of course before commiting that rev I tested freedom fighters too and I did not see any related ingame timer which makes the game too fast so the state of that game is unknown. Oh and if you guys want to try sonic gems collection with sound and everything working, it seems to be enough to add its game id into the arstartdma exception list right in here. I didnt add it to this version because I dont know how stable it is so thats something you guys need to test and report.

..does that makes sense? *tries that out* .. what!? It works! You switch something off and it works all of the sudden?

Sorry. This explanation helps no one, I know.

I just wanted to say that the WiiU Pro Controller which I am using did not connect at all.

Thanks, I changed it to controller.ini and it worked flawless. But let me ask the thing I don't get: Why controller.ini? How would I name the next HID controller?

It seems I walk from one helpless situation to another. I started Fire Emblem Path of Radiance and the game wants to format the Memory Card again (I has already played through the training stage and saved on Nintendont yesterday, where I did not have the loader) Why is that? Because I started the game from the USB Loader GX?

Double check the loader settings to make sure you are using the right folder for the saves. By default, Nintendont uses wherever the game is stored.

You can test any rev that comes after that one until you get different results.

That will have to wait until the weekend

BTW. What do I need to compile the source code? I would also like to test all revisions with certain things commented out, I have a suspicion that disabling BT and HID Controllers is what prevents the RE0 freezing bug from happening

usbloader gx probably has diferent settings than the ones you used like what mccard you used the first time? multi?251 block? if any setting is diferent then it will creat a new memory card of course wich needs formating.

 

[ShadowOne333]

Were you being sarcastic?
Or did it actually help?

I meant disable it in USB Loader GX, not Nintendont.
If you have it enabled in USBLGX then it will always ask for a controller.ini file to play with HID.

Nintendont only supports one HID at a time.

That's weird. If you played FE from the same HDD yesterday the savefile should still be there. Are you sure you used a emulated memory card both times? Or did you maybe use a real memory card yesterday/today?

No, I never would - It helped! But I did not get how that was possible.

Ah, I see. Thanks, that really helped me seeing through all of that a bit more.

Thanks you two! I'll look where the option is in USB Loader GX and change it right away.

Wow - you really helped me a lot! Great to have such selfless people around. Hope I can return the favor.

I see. I think I won't need an other controller anyway.

I'm sorry I did not mention that - I'm playing on a WiiU. I think its probably what ccfman2004 said. I just tested again. When I start FE only through the Nintendont Channel without a loader inbetween, my save from yesterday is there again. So it's really a matter of paths for USB Loader GX.

The intro cutscene of Battle for Bikini Bottom plays at the correct speed, and Namco Museum 50th Anniversary works. Very nice.

Edit: I'd like to point out that the note about WarioWare, Inc Mega Party Games not supporting the e-Reader is incorrect. WWMPG never had e-Reader support, just a game mode featuring a virtual e-Reader.
