I cannot connect more than one controller at a time when using Nintendont. I have no idea how to enter the settings where I can manage this. Is it something that is done with a PC by managing files manually? My settings do have Max Pads set to 4.

I am trying to to use all official Wiimotes with classic controllers. The controllers do work together when I am in the Wii system menu or when I run Wii games. In Nintendont, Each controller works when they are set to player 1, but none of them work together when I need more than 1 player. It doesn't matter if I am running Nintendont through a USB Loader or if I run Nintendont directly from the Homebrew Channel.

The biggest issue I have is that I cannot figure out how to manage the controllers. I have no idea how I could even set up another compatible controller, like a PS3 or PS4 controller.

At least in my setup (1 Classic and 1 Wii U Pro, Nintendont ran directly), they do just autoconnect (try clearing all synced controllers by holding the red button on the console in the Wii Menu until they turn off, then pairing them again one at a time)

You can configure Nintendont by pressing the options button while in the game list inside the app, or via a PC with Tecomoon's injector (yes, the one whose main purpose is installing Wii and GC games on WiiU) - these options are global, per-game options are the job of other (modern) frontends

Apart from configuring non-Nintendo controllers which is done with configuration files, there are no other options in Nintendont - definitely not one for changing your player number :/

The controllers will not automatically connect in nintendont. I will connect them all in the Wii System Menu. Then, when I connect to Nintendont, all of the controllers disconnect and only player 1 controller will connect. When I try to reactivate the other controllers, the lights just flash. When I drop back out to the Wii system Menu, all of the controllers will reconnect.

Same problem no one seems to have a fix

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
