GCN Memory Card

[Bestistbuddy]

Hi I have a related question. I have a GameCube game I want to play with cheats. (Just a quick note I have no tech experience at all and have never done soft modding before so I am trying to find information) it was mentioned that nintendont can run GameCube physical discs but can it work with an official GameCube memory card and save to it as well? Any information is much appreciated!

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. Just joined. If this gets moved could you please post a link to where it is.... I get lost easily LOL

If your Wii has the Slots for the Memory Card,yes.
In Nintendont,the Option "Memory Card Emulation" has to be set to "OFF" please.

You can also use the Tool GCMM to make an Virtual Memory Card/use your Saves for Nintendont.

Thank you.

Thank you for the quick reply! I have a wii with the GameCube ports it was one of the first series Wii’s I believe. I have been trying to find a way to put cheats on my sonic adventure 2 battle game however the action replay I have sadly didn’t have the code I needed so I thought I would look into soft modding my wii. (I have a GameCube as well but thought modding the wii would be better?)

I found the code I needed but now I have no idea how to 1: soft mod my wii and 2: get the code on there and make it work since I really have no experience in any of this....

the tutorials I’ve found are really confusing since they use programming lingo and stuff. Is there a simplified tutorial out there?

All your "Solutions" are good and ok.

- getting an Action Replay is a good Choice,as long as yor GameCube Drive is good in Shape.
But please avoid this ones:

You can not add Codes with them !!
You need this Version please:
https://www.amazon.de/Datel-GameCube-Action-Replay/dp/B0000636RA

- Modding a Wii is a little Work to do,but also good Choice:
https://wii.guide/
For the GameCube Games it is easy,you can play them with NINTENDONT
https://gbatemp.net/threads/nintendont.349258/
from the SD Card if you like.But you can also use a HDD too.
It support Cheats (Ocarina) and you can add Cheats too.

The Cheats are found on gamehacking.org for Example as Gecko Format (.gct) and can be used for Nintendont.
It has to be copied into the Folder "codes" on the SD Card or HDD,can be enabled/disabled from within NINTENDONT or USBLoader GX and ready to go.

Good Luck
Thank you.

Thank you so much the information. Sadly the action replay I have is the one that promotes that it works on the wii so I know that I can’t add codes.

As for going the soft mod wii way is there a guide on putting cheats on nintendont for complete noobs?

I really appreciate the help

Hello.

As for going the soft mod wii way is there a guide on putting cheats on nintendont for complete noobs?

I am very sorry for your Action Replay Version....
But,as you said,no Problem,you can use Cheats with Nintendont.

- please download the .gct File for your Game from gamehacking.org :

Choose GameCube please :



Choose you Game please (for Example "Resident Evil 3 NTSC"):



Choose Gecko and the Game ID as Filename please:




Put it the Folder "codes" on your Wii´s SD Card or HDD please:



In the USBLoader GX choose the Game (in this Case "Resident Evil 3 NTSC"):



Go to the "Settings" please:



Choose "Ocarina" please:



Select your Cheats please:



Choose "Create" please and the Cheatfile will be update with your selected Cheats:



Finally start the Game.

Enabling/Disabling single Cheats in NINTENDONT worked a long time ago,but unfortunately I have no Idea if it is still possible...
But you can do the Select/De-Select Cheats Process described like above with USBLoader GX and endable Cheats in NINTENDONT if you like.

It is not really needed to load Games with NINTENDONT,the Way to Boot GamCube Games via the USBLoader GX works perfectly.
It is your Choice.

Note:
I would not recommend to use the "Update" Option



at the Moment,it is not working correctly/overwrites an exisiting Cheatfile with more Options with an Version with less Options
(I have tried it with "Resident Evil 3 NTSC" and now I have only 4 Options left...)....

But if you still have NO Cheatfile for your selected Game,then it is ok to use it of course.


Good Luck
Thank you.

Thank you for all the replies and the diagrams. It will take me a while to figure it all out. I really appreciate the time you took to help out here.

Ok so I would need a 2gb as card. Any recommendations? They are hard to find cheap in Canadian stores apparently.

Also I only have the physical disk of sonic adventure 2 battle and a physical Nintendo memory card. So I don’t think I would be able to use the USB loader GX as you described. Does that ruin everything?

Also this is probably a dumb question but I really don’t know anything at all about modding, codes and all that. But what does HDD mean?

Like I mentioned before. I am a total mood so extra details and simple instructions are very appreciated. I don’t want to accidentally brick my wii. Thank you in advance!

For your SD Card Question:
https://www.amazon.ca/QUMOX-2048MB-...&keywords=qumox+sd+card&qid=1612475146&sr=8-8
These are really ok,I use them since 2015,not one "Failure" until today.

For the USBLoader GX Question:
No,it is ok of course.
You can maybe use,if you like,this attached Textfile Code,edit/enable/disable your needed Cheats,save it and put it in the Folder "SD Card:\codes" please
So when you now start the Game "Sonic Adventure 2 Battle",enable CHEATS in Nintendont and they are activated.

HDD means a Hardisk (in an external Enclosure) for the Wii.

I hope,this helps you and wish you good Luck.
Thank you.

Ok thank you for the sd card link!

I think I may have to start from the beginning as I am starting to get a little confused (sorry real noob here!)

So first I need to put home brew on my wii. I saw this tutorial on YouTube



Is his info correct? If so I’ll try to follow it.

If I understand correctly after installing homebrew I should do the brick protection that is shown then install the homebrew browser to get nintendont.

Where I am stuck and confused is the whole cheat codes part. I know the website to get the codes I need however, I am pretty confused on the getting it onto the wii and making it work for my sonic adventure 2 game, also on making sure it saves to my physical memory card.

So I find the code on the website. Ok so far. Now I would greatly appreciate a step by step guide on getting the codes onto the wii. Basically I don’t know coding at all so things like root of sd card or translating code into a certain type of files or things like what a .gct is are a bit confusing to me.

Is there something I am missing? Or is this much simpler than I am making it? I apologize for the confusion I really don’t want to wreck anything. If it helps I am more of a visual learner so pictures or videos really help! Once again thank you so much for your help and time!

Best and easy to use guide with all steps written down. My advice is to go with the letterbomb option.

Ok thank you for all the help. The only thing I need now is a guide on how to put cheat codes for sonic adventure 2 battle using nintendont. Is there something I have to do to the code on the game hacking website before I put it on the sd card? And how and where do I put it on the sd card? And finally how do I get it to work? Thank you in advance!

 

[Bestistbuddy]

I was able to get it to work thank you everyone for your help! Really appreciate it!
