Hacking Nintendont Themes and Custom Mods

[AbdallahTerro]

Just curious if it's possible to merge Force Widescreen and Wii U widescreen? FIX94 never gave an answer

No they are two different entities

 

[AbdallahTerro]

I tried the latest version and the "ping timer" works! (enabled and disabled tests)
Thank you very much for the "Ping timer"

can you please test v3.304 and check that ping HDD settings works as it should

Interesting how two things that do pretty much the same thing can't be merged.

Coding is always so interesting. I should have started learning it in highschool and then I could tell help with this stuff.

The most I can do is set up a basic macro script that uses colors to press buttons and that's not even real code at all

I'm not a coder too, but I decided to learn, better late than never

Yes, you can have them both on at the same time. Force Widescreen is actually a patch to make games render in widescreen. If you have Wii U widescreen off, it squished the screen down to 16:11.2 (4:3). So you have to have Wii U Widescreen on to have Force Widescreen look proper.
If you are asking if he can get rid of both options and just have them together as one, then no, as some games have internal widescreen support, which is better usually. Having both the widescreen patch and internal widescreen on looks bad.

v3.305 up

changelog:
* Added Ping USB HDD to settings menu replacing missing HID (enabled = 1 min 50 secs / off = no ping)
* Made wiimotes standby in 5 secs if no extension is found instead of 20 secs
* B: Cancel Autoboot will also display for around 5 secs now
* Fixed some missing menu button entries in update menu
* made both X and Y buttons access update menu (Y was unused anyways)
* tried to make the loader background not show when autoboot is off or nintendont is launched from HBC
now it barely shows for a fraction of a second if ever

Hi AbdallahTerro xD
I tried both options (off and enabled) and works! (v3.305)
However, I think it is more convenient to be so by default:
off = 1 min 50 secs / enabled = no ping
For people who do not know that the topic is ...
Question:
Some way to activate "HDD ping" from wiiflow?
thanks you!

thanks for testing
why you want off = ping?
yes for now ping can be enabled from wiiflow using the HID option
I'll update both dols to make they show "Ping HDD" instead of "USB HID"

"off" is the default option ... so many users with HDD with "sleep mode" will report that games do not work shortly be executed
Leave the option "off = ping" I think that would avoid that problem xD
also before was so in previous versions:
"HDD pinging by enabling OSREPORT, default timer set to 2 mins"
question:
"Wiiflow mod 1076" to leave the option "deflicker" = on is forcing the video mode ... any way to leave it as it comes on the disc?

Just as in previous versions of wiiflow

oh I see your point, I used osreport off = ping on before but now we have a new standalone setting
I can name it No HDD Ping and switch it but it's not a big deal
deflicker will always force that's how it's made

OK, thanks for your hard work
keep it up!

update and test it now
*Pinging is on by default now

 

[AbdallahTerro]

updated the patch
updated wiiflow dols by replacing "USB HID Controller" with "Disable HDD Ping"
Disable HDD Ping still uses same wiiflow ini entry namely "usb_hid"
will rename it later if needed

 

[Edu64]

update and test it now
*Pinging is on by default now

perfect
Tested in star wars rogue squadron 2 and works!

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Last update for today:
* Added fade in effect for loader backgrounds or for the app background if no loader background is used (smoother and much nicer now)
* B: cancel autoboot will display for around 4 secs

 

[VinsCool]

Thanks abz for your mod! Best version of nintendont ever! I hope this would be officially implemented in a future nintendont update

 

[AbdallahTerro]

New update:
* Added Fade out effect after cancelling autoboot
* Also More Fade in effects after downloading various themes
* Big code cleanup

Updated both dol and patch

Edit: Only bug left is loader theme appearing before nintendont theme when launching nintendont with autoboot off or when nincfg.bin is absent - I can do nothing about it because this is how the code will work and it's very minor (it cannot be fixed without affecting the loader theme loading)

I'll make a new update page for older nintendont mastermod revisions to clean up the update menu a bit

 

[AbdallahTerro]

* Moved all older v2.x revisions to a new menu to keep the main download menu clean

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Updated the patch and OP

 

[DeezTits]

I love the idea of this!

Is there a tutorial on how to set it up?
