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

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
