I think I have found a problem with LOZ Phantom Hourglass. I've got to a point in the game where your supposed to close the DS system to proceed but that's not possible on the WiiU controller. So unless there's some button combo to emulate the closing I don't think it's going to be possible to complete it. Unless you can manipulate the gamesave.
Aren't Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks scheduled for release in the official VC?

If they are then Nintendo has a workaround or an updated DS Emu to emulate the closing of the DS.
yeah they are going to be released officialy on the VC so we need to wait maybe they will add a new option on the VC menu or just change the rom to not need closing.

I hope so, I hate starting a game and no being able to finish it :) especially when the game runs perfectly apart from that.

Yeah I say we better wait.
I'm still mad though for how they locked the filters off the public release. xD

thought it was already out in europe?

I remember someone somewhere confirming that the option was there (to close the system), maybe it was on neogaf.

Would anybody be so kind to tell me what injection means in this context? Or gimme a link to a guide?
As I understood it's that I buy a VC game in the WiiU eShop like Mario Kart 64 and then use this to replace Mario Kart 64 by any N64 rom I can find on the internet so I can play it on the WiiU even if there isn't a VC version of it available in the eShop yet?

renderscale set to 2, its tucked away in "configuration_cafe.json"
Code:
"3DRendering": {
  "Bilinear": 0,
  "RenderScale": 1
  },
  "Display": {
  "PixelArtUpscaler": 0,
  "Brightness": 80
  }

whatever you do don't enable renderscale+pixelArtUpscaler on SM64 things get.......well.......weird

PS this has the added side effect of making the wiiu freeze when you exit the VC though, but it looks much nicer to play so i could live with that
tested that on mario kart ds and glitches everywhere so im guessing it doesnt work on every game? any chance for you to test on mario kart ds to know if its just me?

oh yeah i forgot to mention it can have the odd glitch on mario 64 too , maybe its a wip for nintendo hence why no games use it yet afaik......maybe a newer released VC dump might solve things, spirit tracks/phantom hourglass or animal crossing wild world would be good bases for testing i guess

Hi, I've read all the threads and I'm still at a loss with getting NDS VC injections happening. I've read you can use Loadiine v4 to boot any NDS rom, can someone please just post a clear tutorial on how to do it? I've bought an NDS game on the eshop, dumped it, tried replacing the rom.zip, added the xml files from the compatibility wiki, tried different folder structures on my SD card with no joy. I HAVE been able to do the on-the-fly injection method, but that won't work with bigger games. Any help would be appreciated.

N64 injection seems to work fine with Loadiine v4 also. I injected Banjo-Kazooie US over Sin and Punishment with no problems.

So? I was just sharing my experience. I'll try to get some more interesting games like Perfect Dark and Goldeneye working next.
perfect dark works fine but with sound stutters and i couldnt get goldeney to work sadly even tough it works with ram injection on an actual vc title like dk64 the jap version that is.

Has anyone managed to load a 256MB DS ROM via Loadiine? I tried Pokémon Black, but it just hangs on two white screens (in other words, it starts the emulated DS, but it just hangs). Or, more amusingly, maybe it needs an anti-piracy patch to run. Hm..
