When you initialize Nintendont, you should be able to access an options menu; you can update Nintendont and make other configurations. You can even change the read speed to load faster.

You technically don't need a "disc" to play. What you probably might be trying to do:

"/games/Zelda Wind Waker [GZLP01]/Zelda.iso <--- WRONG :hateit:
/games/Zelda Wind Waker [GZLP01]/game.iso <--- Correct
/games/Tales of Symphonia [GQSEAF]/disc2.iso <--- Correct

If you don't know the GameID, you don't need to use it.
/games/zelda/game.iso is working too."

Once the file is in the correct location, after you initialize Nintendont, you'll see a list of games.

Yes It is placed* in the correct location. /games/Super Mario Sunshine/game.iso
The game.iso is a "Winrar Archive" I dont know if thats the problem.
I reinserted the SD into the wii, this is what i see

It loaded up and gave me 2 options
SD & USB
I pressed sd but it gave this "boot disc" text.
I do not see a list of games. And im sure everything is placed correctly.

Wait, you need to extract (most of the time) a file if it's .7, .zip, .rar, etc,. You don't need to extract .iso

As long as you have a .iso, you're okay; if you were trying to rename a .rar as .iso, you're going to have a bad time.

The file I've downloaded from site was a .7z file.
Does this that I use the 1,400,000 kb file, i rename it to game.iso then all would be fine?

If you have a .7z, extract it (preferably with 7zip), get the extracted file renamed in the proper format, and place it in the correct location.

Ive got Original extracted and placed in the SD but it still didnt load a gamelist on the Wii.
I've currently changed the name to disc2.iso to see if it makes a difference.

the disc2.iso is the extracted one...
here are the images of my SD card's folders

I thought you said:


The pics show WinRAR. Were you extracting the files with WinRAR in the first place?

Well i got the game working!
I removed .iso and the game worked... turns out the extracted file was already an iso.
But the only problem now is ive encountered an "No memory card slot in SlotA thing"
Is there a way to save game data in the wii or something?

Cool stuff.
Those options I was talking about:

When you initialize Nintendont, you should be able to access an options menu; you can update Nintendont and make other configurations. You can even change the read speed to load faster.

there's an option for emulating a memory card.
