F-Zero GX Launching Issues

[Dominator456]

Hello all! I have recently found an issue when I try and launch F-Zero. I am using Nintendont on vWii.
When I click the button to launch the game, it starts where I see the Amusement Vision logo. It then shuts down my Wii U entirely.

I do not think it is a bad dump because I tried it in Dolphin Emulator, and it is just fine. Anyone have any ideas?

just because an iso works in dolphin there is no grantee that works on nintendont, nintendont is much more picky, find a 1.35gb iso matching redump md5 values and turn everything to auto or off except memory card emulation for best compatibility.

How does the name of the game appears in Nintendont?
If it's in Red Letters, then your ISO is trimmed wrongly.

If it's pure Black Letters, then it's a bad dump of your legally obtained copy of the game.

I just checked, and the game title is in that orange/red color. All of my games are like this (have red/orange title), and this is the only one that I have issues with.

Yeah, use a complete ISO (should appear as black letters) or if you desperately need your ISO to be trimmed, use DM TOOLBOX and just check "Optimized" and "32k".

Clicking "Install" and it will clean the ISO (removes filling data, a lot of GCN games are below 1GB) it'll create a folder with the game's ID Code, be sure to go inside your trimmed ISO folder and delete the "sys" folder inside your game's folder.

Rename the trimmed ISO file to "game.iso" and place it in your "games" folder on the root of your drive/memory/sd/whatever.

Be sure to have "show extensions" in your computer's settings because you might end up with "game.iso.iso" and that won't work!

DM Toolbox? Does GCBM not work as well (thats what the hacks.guide people recommend)?

I don't know, DM Toolbox never had a problem with none of my GCN ISOs.
I'm talking by experience here, if it works fine for me, it should work fine for others.

But yes, you're free to experiment.
If your GCBM has troubles trimming, maybe DM Toolbox won't and vice versa. You have options.

Okay, fair enough. Maybe I'll try it untrimmed first, then other methods. Thanks!
