Hacking Nintendont Themes and Custom Mods

[drewby]

can you also try downloading titles.txt using the official nintendont v420

Downloading titles.txt seems to work now in Nintendont MasterMod, but I'm still having problems downloading themes. I'm gonna try moving Nintendont to my SD Card and see if that works

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

try this one rename to boot.dol:
http://nintendont.gxarena.com/themes/397boot.dol
if it works you have issues with new FatFS introduced in 406+ then you have to use SD or another HDD for apps/Nintendont
if it doesn't work then your ISP have problems connecting to the hosting server (for the themes) and there's nothing I can do about it
P.S> error -3 is likely related to new FatFS

Works when I moved the app to my SD card. Thanks for the help!

I noticed that if one game theme is missing (with progress bar that is since without progress bar are all there) we get update error -1 then quit
so I thought of something to skip the missing ones

ll upload later after fixing a tiny bug

 

[AbdallahTerro]

v4.421 online

*Added skipping missing themes download in "Download all custom game themes"
*Missing numbers count added below download progress

P.S> took some time to fix some nasty bug that occurs when first cover to download is missing, but hopefully all is sorted now

I'm getting a glitch since v4.420 and is still present in v4.421 where I am unable to update the boot.dol from inside the app. When I choose to update, it just puts me onto the game selection screen. I have tried this on both my SD card and my USB drive.

You're right, I didn't test this, it was introduced when I moved the titles/covers to extra menu
just fixed it!
download manually once and automatically thereafter
thanks for reporting

Also, I wanted to report that a solution to the update error =-3 is to move the app to another storage device, run it, and move it back. Works everytime and you can keep MasterMod on the same device you started with.

report that in the main thread since it's something that needs to be fixed
many users reported -3 errors and it took me 2 days to fix download all covers download with missing file detection because of that
In my experience if you try to download twice (by modifying the source code) then -3 error will not take place

Edit: I also fixed 2 tiny bugs in download old stable (overlapping entries in menu) and while downloading official nintendont too
Source patch also ready for coders

A quick question, is there a way for me to return to the Nintendont menu or to my loader (HB Menu, USB Loader GX, ect.) instead of having to turn off my console when running a game?

sure if you use a nunchuck press 1+2 buttons
if you use other controller types use the shutdown combos:
// shutdown by pressing B,Z,R,PAD_BUTTON_DOWN
//reset by pressing start, Z, R

Ive tried using the shutdown input on my native control gc controller, but it never seems to work for me.

EDIT: It's L+R+Z+B+Down on D-Pad, right?

if it doesn't work the nunchuck combo should always do the trick

neither combo is working for me. i tried it with a wavebird and standard controller

 

[AbdallahTerro]

my controllers (GC and PS3) both died so I cannot test this bit
I use nunchuck for testing purposes
planning to get 2 WUPCs soon

Do these combos work in official nintendont ?
if yes I'll review the padreadgc code, been a while

Doesn't work in official either. this is weird because exit combo works on wii u w/ gc adapter

might be a good idea to report this too in official thread, since it should be fixed

 

[drewby]

Thanks for your help btw! I appreciate it!

 

[AbdallahTerro]
