Hacking Is Nintendont still require to rename gamecube iso in "game"?

Tackskull · Aug 6, 2020

Hi there,

this may be a stupid question, but maybe over the years, new realease of nintendont are changing things. So I would ask, I still have to rename every single gamecube iso in "game"?

The same Procedure as every Year...

Yes,every single Game has to named game.iso and the Second Disc if present,disc2.iso.
Copied in the Folder with the Game Name and the ID.

Quick Installation:

Get the loader.dol, rename it to boot.dol and put it in /apps/Nintendont/ along with the files meta.xml and icon.png.

Copy your GameCube games to the /games/ directory. Subdirectories are optional for 1-disc games in ISO/GCM and CISO format.

For 2-disc games, you should create a subdirectory /games/MYGAME/ (where MYGAME can be anything), then name disc 1 as "game.iso" and disc 2 as "disc2.iso".

For extracted FST, the FST must be located in a subdirectory, e.g. /games/FSTgame/sys/boot.bin .

Connect your storage device to your Wii or Wii U and start The Homebrew Channel.

Select Nintendont.

The naming convention is required for multi-disc games, but you can name single disc games anything you want as long as they're in the "games" folder.

Yeah. But for neatness sake, I would still name them game.iso just so I don't have a bunch of individually named games and then in the middle of it are 2 games with game.iso and disc2.iso. Would trigger my OCD

But it doesn't really matter, also the "requirement" about naming the folders Game Name [GameID] seems to not matter at all anymore (the game ID is grabbed directly from the ISO now apparently)
But I still like to name them that way so it's all nice and organized.

Yes, try it yourself! You can keep things organized by putting multi disc games into a folder. For example your "games" folder can look like:

Super Smash Bros Melee.iso
Tales of Symphonia [GQSEAF] (this is a folder)
Wario World.iso

The only drawback with this is when you use a loader like USB Loader GX because all the games have to be in the folder format with the name game.iso / disc2.iso but it never loads them. Meanwhile using only nintendont it reads them normally in that format

I think the next Thread would have been "Nintendont won´t read my Games."
A Manual from the Creator is not a bad Idea to follow and not to ignore.

Thank you.
