I've recently switched from Tiramisu to Aroma and this occurs on all my injected ngc games. I've switched back to Tiramisu and this still happens (i can tell because i see the wii logo on boot, never saw it). Any idea on how to solve this? The games work but in some games you have the dual screen (tv and pad) and not in others, is a bit of a mess.

you must need glasses... every nintendont game works on virtual wii only , you always see the wii symbol always, there is no other way to play gc games on wiiu that doesnt go through the wii symbol...

So why in some mode i get "is not possible to use gamepad during wii mode" and not in others? What i have to select to play with the gamepad controls and the video on the tv and the gamepad?

This is what i got:
Luigi's mansion (prepared with wiiu usb helper):
-TV and gamepad: only gamepad have video and i can't control it (can't use gamepad controls while in vwii mode message)
-Use gamepad as controller: video output only on gamepad, can control with gamepad
-tv only: start with black screen but if i press something on the gamepad it "wake up" (i see the gamepad quick start for a second) and i can see video. Can't control because of the usual message
-gamepad only: video output on gamepad, can't control because of usual message.

Super Mario sunshine (wiiu usb helper):
-TV and gamepad: video on tv and gamepad, can't control
-gamepad only: video on gamepad only, can't control
-gamepad as controller: video on both gamepad and TV, can control with gamepad
-TV only: video on TV only, can't control with gamepad but with pro controller

It looks like there is something off with the video output for luigis mansion... Wonder if the plug in evWii messed up something

because that forwarder doesnt have wiiu gamepad support, you didnt made a forwarder with that flag enabled, you need to enable the flag wiiugamepad compatible when doing the inject, if someone made it without that flag then you cant use the gamepad.

Also you dont get video on your tv with luigi mansion becuase im guessing its the pal version of the game, and your tv doesnt support pal 50. and the wiiu gamepad supports every videomode.

It's not about the 50hz pal, I'm in Europe and i play most of the pal ngc games well. I tested in super Mario sunshine, selecting pal 50hz doesn't stop my TV to display the signal.

Is something about luigis mansion that is not working

just a bad inject, or there is settings forcing stuff that luigi mansion doesnt like while sunshine is fine with it, maybe you have force progressive or some forced videomode, not all games can be forced to the same thing.

but if the gamepad not working is for sure an inject where someone didnt check the box to allow wiiu gamepad control, you need to make a new inject yourself.

Let me try to filter the informations from this thread + add missing:
- Nintendont is a Wii Homebrew, there's no way to run it in Wii U mode / the Wii U will always reboot to vWii.
- Gamepad support is an option you can select at the injector (or better: There's an opt-in to disable gamepad controls)
- USB Helper downloads premade injects I wouldn't trust
- The save files ( / memory card images) for Nintendont are on the SD card, named by the gamecube title ID

So with this let's answer your last question: No, you will not loose savegames as long as new and old IDs are identical, which should be the case when you inject the same game from the same region.
Also stop downloading the injects from Wii U USB Helper. instead download the ROMs (*cough*Vimm's Lair GameCube Vault*cough*) and inject them for yourself with either UWUVCI or Teconmoon's Injector.

If i make a new injection i will lose my savegame?
no the savegame is on the sd card, if you inject the same region game it will load the same game, if you inject different region then yeah you will start over since a new save will be made for that region.

Sorry to bother you, because you happen to have a very qualified opinion.

Do you consider feasible injecting in the console, without a pc? By extending nusspli abilities or with an adhoc homebrew.

    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.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
