Hacking Nintendont Themes and Custom Mods

[VinsCool]

No need, I meant adding it right below a video mode would work and it does. But because of the multiple video modes you have to do something different to be more effective instead of just adding it multiple times and as you said randomly adding it doesn't work.
Something like:

if (progressive)
{
rmode->viWidth = 704;
}
else
{
rmode->viWidth = 704;
}

Then just put it below line 149
And it works because I've tested it, it's not really the best solution but you get the idea. Most homebrews and official programs tend to use the current aspect ratio to determine if more stretching should be used, I personally don't like that, however I used progressive to give an example.

could this be used for overscan stretch like devolution does?

It's the same thing hardware-wise but no, Nintendont would need a way to force it like it does with deflicker.

320 online
Changes:
*Increased loader display width to max (720pixels) to cover the black bars completely (Thanks SS)
*This won't affect the game itself, only the loader and menus (for the games you need the widescreen patch or wiiuwide option)

Please check if the display is too much stretch,
I'm testing 700 pixels width atm and also happy with it

Edit: set loader display width to 700, looks like a good compromise

Tiny update:

* Moved Smash theme from loader themes to Custom Game theme with loading bar
* Replaced Smash with Kids Power

 

[AbdallahTerro]

rmode->viWidth = 680;
rmode->viXOrigin = 20;

seems like a better combo for hiding bars, I'll commit it after more testing

Ok, committed the new display stuff
Please test and let me know if you like it or not

I updated and now bluetooth isn't working.

Same here - updated to 320 and bluetooth sync seems to have broken.

I'll check BT when I update to 322, haven't touched it in a long time and barely using it

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Updated to 322
*Fixed BT not working when themes are used

What was the issue?

 

[AbdallahTerro]

DVDStartCache() was applied twice when themes were used,
this was there since I manually patched rev 320

Edit: rev 323 online
please check the new screen width and see if you're ok with the wider display and if the black bars are fully covered now

The black bars aren't fully covered but they are certainly smaller now.

I can check when I get home, but that won't be for a bit yet. Also, if I recall correctly, the vertical height needs to be cut down about five pixels or so [/nitpick] That definitely is fine the way it is, it's just that I have mild OCD and it's stuff that I notice

Edit: Just tested a little bit ago, loader looks almost perfect now! The only discrepancy is the thing I mentioned above, but it's almost not worth mentioning since it's so minor. Thank you so much!!

I really appreciate your work but the latest version (323) is unstable to me in fact the jump to v3.x is not working at all, I can't go back to the wii menu when i'm on the nintendont menu I get a black screen and when I try to go back to the Usb Loader GX it just freezes.
The last working version to me was the v.296 and.. I'm on wii btw

Actually it has nothing to do with Nintendont Master Mod, its a nintendont issue and Fix94 is aware of it. If you launch it from homebrew it should exit fine as well when launching it from Wiiflow or USB Loader GX (latest versions of both) it works great.

ok, thanks! maybe I should probably update my usb loader gx

That's why I have a 2.x revisions download available in the download menu. Some users can't even run games with 3.x and need 296 and very few still need 229

 

[AbdallahTerro]

updated to 324 to keep up with official version though not needed because the new fix was already implemented.

I had an incident with the latest revision. I booted True Crime: Streets of LA and it showed the Mario Kart: Arcade GP game theme.
Also, I'd like to suggest having themes in a folder instead of directly in the nintendont folder. I have every game theme for every game I have plus the Warning theme for those that don't and the Alone in the Dark theme for the menu, so my nintendont folder is crammed with pngs.

what game ID are you using for both games? True crime is GTL.png (no loader bar theme) while MArio GP is GGP. if this is consistent and reproduceable then either your ID is wrong or my code has a bug.
As for the pngs I like to keep them along with the dol, since this won't create new folders inside CFG loader folders or elsewhere, also we have a delete function, so you don't need to handle them manually.
