Hacking Nintendont Themes and Custom Mods

[AbdallahTerro]

try this nintendont: http://copy.com/vRN3HgFVyk9u7YuB/Public/nintendont229.rar

I've tried it, same issue. Tried various versions of Nintendont. They don't hook my harddrive after Nintendont starts from USBL GX. :/

I will try it again to amuse you, I will edit this post with the results.

===

Results, same:

 

[AbdallahTerro]

does it happen with wiiflow?
try wiiflow-mastermod in my sig

 

[Serfrost]

I'll attempt it. I'll edit with results.

I honestly prefer USBL GX because of the Channel Layout Option. Kids like it too.

===

Update: WiiFlow works successfully. So is it that USBL GX is breaking Nintendont's ability to hook?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

cool, you're good then
switch to wiiflow it's full of sheez and has banner preview too
consider trying my masterpiece pack if you want an all in one setup for all emulators

removed old patches for AX, now using the official fix

So, when you update the mastermod in the app, you'll lose the theme downloading feature as well?

ofc no

No, when using the MOD, the update feature downloads the updated MOD. Abdallah is kind enough to every time a new offical version is up, he updates the mod with the new enhacements from the official version, keeping the features of the MOD version.

Is there a way to skip the NAND Flow? Or at least set it for Parental Only?

When it comes to plugin/emulator games, is there a possibility of doing it text-only like with VBA-GX / SNES-GX?

Tomb Raider Anniversary gets stuck at "An Error Has Occurred," asking me to remove the disc...
No other game I have up to this point has this problem, so I'm confused on what may be the problem.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

You can try postloader 4 it has simple 2d interface

 

[Serfrost]

I was thinking about having the Source Menu for WiiFlow load directly to the VBA / SNES Emu .dol and boot into it. Just not sure how to go about it.

Still can't figure out why Tomb Raider Anniversary won't load on WiiFlow, either. Seems I'm always running into compatibility problems between loaders.

ex: USBL GX won't load two Monster High games, however, WiiFlow can run them all.

...

So basically all I really need is:

• Inhibit WiiFlow's ability to see / use my NAND. Or take out the NAND Flow option.
• Fix Tomb Raider Anniversary's issue with "An Error Has Occurred."

Aside from that... WiiFlow works perfectly.

What are your recommendations for adding boxart to my ROMs? (NES/SNES/N64/GB/GBC/GBA)

A shame there isn't a domain that can download them based on gameID like GameTDB.

Thanks for keeping this updated. Helped my buddy by using your nintendont mod!

if you mean you don't want emunand in "source menu" then you need to edit source_menu.ini in wiiflow\source_menu folder
as for anniversary, try forcing video or forcing cios in game settings

Hey Abz, I know this isn't the right thread, but it doesn't appear to bother you... How could I go about having an icon on my source menu boot directly into a homebrew app or channel. I'd like to put Netflix and Youtube on there.

I fixed up my Source Menu, it's all cool and stuff and to my liking.

But when it comes to the button that switches between Flows. Wii > Gamecube > Channel Nand > Homebrew..

Is there a way to just make it swap between JUST Wii and Gamecube?

--

EDIT: Found an answer to that.

To remove NAND Channels from flow toggle:

[GENERAL]
hidechannel=yes

Remove Emulator Flow toggle:

[EMULATOR]
disable=yes

Hide Homebrew applications from flow toggle:

[Homebrew]
disable=yes

WEW, forcing the cIOS solved my Disc Error. <3

I believe this needs the dol to be recompiled using a source change
however you can try changing wiiflow.ini [nand] section as such:

[NAND]
disable=yes
source=no

edit: if this works you can do the same for the [homebrew] section as well

Yeah that definitely worked, but I managed to stumble into it before I got to see your reply. xP

I seriously appreciate the help though. It's 4am... lol. I've been working on getting my Wii back up and running for a week or two now.

How would I go about recompiling the .dol's? Though it's not *entirely* necessary, but it would be easier than getting boxart for every game...

 

[AbdallahTerro]

try the custom missing covers in my "full" carbonik abz theme, they look nicer than the question marks

No, when using the MOD, the update feature downloads the updated MOD. Abdallah is kind enough to every time a new offical version is up, he updates the mod with the new enhacements from the official version, keeping the features of the MOD version.

True, I didn't think it would retain the features. He is kind enough to provide this MOD, I agree.

Anyway, thanks for the Nintendont mod Abz, I love it, but I'm having trouble getting Nintendont to work perfectly in USB Loaders, but that's OK. I'll try downloading the USB Loaders modded from your OP and retry the process again.
