Sphinx and the cursed mummy works. Has some heavy scanlines in Progressive though. Would this be considered an issue? PN03 is another one like this.

found more small bugs, I really just wanna know if anything breaks than if anything works now lol.
-added micro machines to the ARStartDMA exception list to help it stabilize
-assume on ELF loading that the header is already loaded in the buffer, fixes sonic cd
Awesome work, thanks will go test now!

AWESOME!
Thanks for reporting back :)
FIX94, could those WiiRD codes for both Double Dash and Smash melee maybe be hardcoded into the Widescreen hack to make them work properly?
^This, not that I use widescreen anyway but if it's possible to include I think would be a nice edition, either that or the code needs to be included in the Gecko server!

Kao the Kangaroo is now working!
THE HELL??? I wasn't expecting that, this game never worked on DM(L), how I always wanted to play this game, once again Nintendont does what Dios Mios Don't... err... does? whatever XD

How do I get mario kart arcade gp working? I have dios mios 2.11 installed, I also have nintendont 2.172. My wii just goes to a black screen so do I need to do the quadforce stuff to get it to work with the mios? I have the ISO version GGPE01. I've tried browsing Google but couldn't get answers. If you guys could help me I would appreciate it.
There are two ways to get this game working on your regular Wii one with Quadforce and one with Nintendont, if you can use Quadforce (meaning you have a mios wii and a GC controller) then I recommend using that as compatibility is better and has a save feature, but this games should work fine with Nintendont too (not so much the other Triforce games yet) I'm not sure what your issue is though, a few revs back it had an issue that memory card should be disabled to work but a few updates back got this issues fixed so it should work fine regardless, let me know if you have an issue I may help fix it!

Edit: Confirmed Kao Kangarro Round 2 works now, also Sonic CD works though the GG/MD games still work without sound, seems the minute you start a game something happens and interrupts the emulator causing it to not read sound!

I decided to go the quadforce route because I really dont use dios mios anymore, and considering how much nintendont is being updated regularly i'll use it more. I installed the quadforce 4.1 wad due to usb loading but both mario kart arcade gp 1 and 2 lag while playing. Is this a common issue through usb, or do I need to put it all on my sd card for smooth play? To get back on topic about nintendont, can I have a gc controller plugged in and a ps3 controller plugged in through usb as a second controller? I appreciate you helping me!

If it lags then try fragmenting your iso (not the whole HDD but only the iso file) it helped me fix F-Zero AX it may work for you, also keep in mind that Quadforce is like Dios Mios in which it replaces your Mios!

I thought you couldn't really do all that much with defrag on a FAT32 partition (I'm assuming that's what you're using)?

I forgot the name of the program, someone gave me a link for a program that does that in the Quadforce topic about a year ago, every time I upgrade my HDD I defrag F-Zero AX again because of Quadforce and then it runs at full speed!

Found the post of yours about that topic I'll give defraggler a try. Thanks again.

So how does Nintendon't compare to DIOS-MIOS now? I see that the ability to use real GC memory cards has been implemented which will make things easier to switch over.

if the games have issues in progressive mode you could change the 480p tab to issues? idkn or just put something in the notes i guess.

Nintendont is still under development, some parts of DM(L) exceed Nindont and some parts for Nindont exceed DM(L) best to use both if you can since each has its own benefits and compatibility!

BIG AIR FREESTYLE. Having some weird issues.
GC WII
Using component cables.
Rev 2.173

When the Wii is not set to 480P in the Wii Settings, the game displays colors normally.
Audio plays smoothly during the opening screens.
During this time, Freestyle mode is playable, but Race mode freezes with an annoying and infinite BEEEEP when the race is 3/4 loaded. The console must be hard powered off. Tried multiple times.

When the Wii is set to 480P in the Wii settings
When the game itself is set to Progressive, it then blackscreens.
During this time, stuttery audio for the first two screens can be heard, ending with a long droning buzz. The console must be hard powered off. Tried multiple times.

When you choose Interlaced on the Progressive screen, the game plays. Flashing green bars are constant at the top and bottom of the screen. Audio is still stuttery, the opening movie plays at half speed and is also stuttery. After this point, the music plays as it should. However colors are very screwed up.
Freestyle mode is still playable, as is Race mode this time. Tried multiple times.

I've reported this issue multiple times without acknowledgement.
Could someone please either confirm or deny this issue after thorough testing?
Thank you for your time. :)

More great news: Batman Vengeance no longer shuts down the Wii when it boots; Now it only blackscreens.

Kao the Kangaroo is now working!

Rogue Ops now works! However cutscenes play at double speed.

FIX94 I noticed when launching games from Wiiflow, that forcing progressive doesn't work, but if I set it from Nintendont, it works. Does Wiiflow need updated, or an I doing something wrong?
since your always bringing this game up i decided to try it

Wii with gc doors, full ntsc iso no component cables.

tryed freestyle and a full championship race i had no issues whatsover i did all 8 laps and since each lap took around 2 mins i did a 16 min race and no issues found i ended in 5 becuase i suck at this game lol i also did a full single race with four laps all on the same session and all colors looked like they should look maybe its component cable issues? the game has no issues with the default wii cable as far as i can tell everything works fine for me i did everything freestyle,single race and championship race.

For me this game is fully green not sure why it has issues on the compat list.

I still not sure how widescreen feature works, for example in Eternal Darkness in the options the setting named 'standart' crops the image horizontally, the setting named '16:9' shows the entire screen (still with black borders on the sides. Now I'm not sure if the game I'm playing is cropped or not, becauuse not every game has the 4:3/16:9 toggle option.

The game is made like that. Quote: "All cutscenes will play in fullscreen, even when game is played in native widescreen."

2 Questions about Nintendont if somebody wouldn't mind shedding some light :)

1. I noticed the disc drive stays inactive while running games even though I have a disc in there, unlike DIOS MIOS. Is this in anyway better for the wii/ wii laser?

2. The R+Z+START combo doesn't work in every game I've tried, but the R+Z+B+DOWN works in every I've tried. Is there a reason for this?

1. As far as I know having a disc in the drive does nothing for Nintendont

2. I noticed that as well and reported it a while ago, it's minor priority though so I stopped mentioning it, it seems mostly first party games work with R+Z+Start
