Oh, glad to see it is not only me! Thought the cable was damaged or something. Yeah, forcing to PAL 60 will display NTSC games with colours, but still red screen in Nintendont's menu.



The loading screen is in NTSC sistem, and this signal is forced trough RGB cable, and the pins are forced to output other signal than they normaly do.


It would be nice if Nintendont could output on loading screen in PAL sistem to. There ar many users who have the RGB cables.

You do realise this is the official thread for this app, and this is almost always the first place updates are posted...
Example:

Well have fun trying to get this to work, its pretty basic and will most likely not work for most people:

Good day everyone,

I have 2 quick questions.

First: I can't seem to get auto boot to work, I'm using 282 on wiiu (it's not revision/system specific it's me who's doing something wrong)

I'm using USB Loader GX. I tried booting nintendont loader, changing all my configuration (including enabling auto boot) and started a game (to save the configuration. But once I restart with button combo and go into usb loader gx and I boot a game it takes me back to nintendont without auto boot and all my settings are off (yes: I did change the settings in USB Loader GX).

2nd I noticed a new option recently "wiiu widescreen support" if I enable it the video output in game becomes widescreen and so I can play F-zero GX in widescreen mode with native support. But if I play say mega man X anniversary collection it's stretched to widescreen as there's no native widescreen support.

If I turn it off, then the video mode runs in 4:3 which is great for mega man X collection but F-zero GX is unable to run in widescreen even when enabled (the only way I found to do it is by changing the picture mode manually to widescreen on my TV settings.

So my question regarding this, am I missing something on how this feature works? Is there any way to make the picture mode change dynamically depending on the game so that I don't have to change the video mode myself on my TV everytime I change games?

Thank you for your time,

im a pal user that uses rgb on my wii and i never had any issues with the picture and all my games are ntsc i think its becuase the users tvs dont acept the signal or something my lcd screen has no issues with rgb pal wii with ntsc games forced ntsc or auto and nintendont was never red for me.


thanks. i use a ps4 remote. the restart button combo works but i need to setup the exit combo. just wanted to make sure it did quit nintendont without restarting the wii u?
on the ps3 remote the exit combo is the select button not sure on the ps4 tbh try select?

also does anyone use widescreen wii u option? i used it last night it does work but i still have a very small lines left and right hand side of my tv screen? any suggestion plz it not really an issue but would be nice to have full screen. and one more thing but i dont think its possible. i wanted to try out multiplayer on nintendont but the only game pads i own right now are 2 ps4 remotes. is it possible too use 2 usb hid devices at the same time?
wiiu widescreen does fullscree basicaly those bars will always appear becuase the wii or vwii doesn not show full 480p someone gave a very good explanation on why those bars appeared afew pages back but yeah you cant get ride of them, and no you cant use 2 hid devices at the same time so far.

not sure about autoboot but wiiuwidescreen just stretches it doesnt do widescreen per say the way to get a true 16:9 is the setting force widescreen but be advised manny games randomly freeze with forced widescreen.

I would but it runs @50hz, with no option for 60hz unfortunately, ill just have to use composite cables and run NTSC but the image will be pretty bad :/
maybe the pal game can be forced to pal 60Hz? also just becuase a game runs 50hz doesnt means it looks bad imo just 50 frames per second.

That depends on how much scaling the developers of the game used, but most GC games don't use it in the first place.
Nintendont would need a way of forcing the horizontal scaling register to a fixed value.
According to yagcd the value looks like this; 0x0100 for games with no scaling, if Nintendont forces it to 0x01F4, the game would now be scaled by 32 pixels. So, there is a way to fix it but it's not really important to do.

Indeed... By the GameCube era, PAL conversions were much better. I remember realising that for NES, SNES and some N64 games I'd been playing the game in slow motion... *shudder*

well my wii games where like it when loading with joostins homebrew forwarder as well as settings gui changed to 16.9!! and then with using the wiiflow forwarder wad channel they are now full 16.9 ratio so i ashumed maybe it was something to do with homebrew channel/nintendont loader channel thats used to launch them?like i said im not bothered was just more curiouse. thanks again for the team working on this

Guys, according to the list, 007 nightfire has the following workaround:
"480p and 60hz stops loading first mission cutscene with a new savegame. (Softreset still works). Starting fist mission with 50hz and save the game, restart with 480p or 60hz works over the whole game. (Wii)
"

how can i force 50hz so i can bypass this?

first any reason why you arent using the ntsc version so you dont need to force anything?

to force pal50 just go to settings videomode put force then change the bottom layer to pal50, but i still see no reason why you arent using the ntsc version that is always 60hz to begin with.

thanks! I use the ntsc version, but it freezes at first load, didnt you see? so we have to force 50hz, the it loads, save and then back to 60hz again.

well i played nightfire enterily ntsc and didnt get any freeze and that is the woraround for the pal version...

are you forcing progressive? if so just stop... no need to force pal50 the game works fine with ntsc or auto i bet its becuase of your forced settings.

what nintendont version and what settings are you using? becuase nightfire ntsc has no issue that you need to force pal50.
