Hacking Nintendont Themes and Custom Mods

[AbdallahTerro]

The BIOS downloading is working fine, the Download Complete message font is enormous though =P

yeah I fixed the font size now, was testing it too

 

[AbdallahTerro]

K. Another question. Does it take any longer to boot the game with bios vs without? I imagine it would.

it's longer by the gc intro movie duration, but it's worth the wait

 

[Drak0rex]

How is the legal issue being averted? Isn't the gamecube bios copyright of Nintendo? Or have the devs loosened up about the whole copyrighted images thing?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

I dont care, I love it

Edit:
btw...
the devs didn't violate any copyrights, they added bios support
you have to get the bios in a clean way,
they didn't distribute the bios files
the bios booter is an open source

Now if only it worked. I just tried launching Melee twice, and get blackscreen after bios. :/

 

[AbdallahTerro]

yeah it's experimental stuff so far
do you know what button combo to press to launch the bios menu?

 

[Drak0rex]

Hold A. Actually, i deleted the bios and still getting a black screen. Don't suppose you got a backlog of your past revs. I think I may have to revert. Just did a fresh reinstall and Melee still ain't bootin. No tellin what other games may have broken.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

thanks it worked!
really nice bios menu and stuff...
actually I see few benefits of the bios other than the nice intro movie
1: we can use it to erase saves
2: if real mc is used, we can copy saves between the real and emulated mc raw file in a neat and dandy manner

How do you figure? With MCemu off, the real memcard slots are used. With it on, only the virtual memcard is used. No interaction between the two.

just saying it's a cool idea, not that it's possible atm
via coding everything is possible these days

melee ntsc us works fine here

 

[Drak0rex]

Great,so how about that previous nintendont mod rev? I gotta redo a hard drive for someone, and i don't wanna give them some experimental broken stuff. Thanks.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

you want 275 mastermod?

 

[Drak0rex]

Ya, at least until I figure out what's goin on. I got three hard drives hooked up and doin stuff right now. Be a while before I can check the integrity of my iso

Is it just me, or is the memcard defaulting to 1019 when launched from Wiiflow? I just launched Metroid Prime, which didn't have a memcard, and a 1019 was created for it. I noticed this when canceling autoboot.

Just confirmed. I erased all my saves, and the ninconfig. Launched Metroid Prime from Wiiflow and canceled the autoboot. Checked the options, and it was set to 1019.

if you have the latest dol then single should be 2 mb and multi 8mb
if not the old dol used 512kb for single
so update anyway

 

[Drak0rex]

This is the latest dol still. After more testing, I've found that Default = 1019
Enabled = 251

Is this how you meant to have it?

the bios must be placed in the root of the games directory is located, the updater downloads it to nintendont directory, try changing the files manually, if your games are stored in a device and nintendont in a different device.

no default should be 2mb let me double check enabled =2mb multi=8
