Hacking Nintendont Themes and Custom Mods

[send0r]

Hello send0r, I wanted first of all to thank you for your work, I use nintendont a lot with wiiflow and is nice to have it updated. Second, I use mastermod oct 2016 version (the last one), and it has something that I love, when I load a game from wiiflow, it just starts directly to it without showing anything of nintendont, like an actual gamecube would do, well I think it shows a banner load screen but I just replaced it with a black screen, I love simplicity. But of course mastermod one is not up to date.
The fact is that I saw your mod, which is updated, again thank you, but when I replace the old boot.dol from yours, and launch a game, it autoboots but it shows nintendont autoboot screen, which I dont like at all. Is there any chances to avoid that? Just having and nice and clean black transition till the gamecube animation intro starts? Thank you.

Hey, thanks dir your Feedback You can fix this by either deleting the black picture, renaming it to background.png or NinBlack.png. Guess I have to do a better write up on which name does what. Please tell me if this worked for you
Also just because I’m curious: could you tell me the file name of your picture before renaming it?
Thanks in adacence

Btw, that game specific loading themes which you talk about sounds stunning, maybe I even prefer that to an black screen, but I still want to be able to have an black screen transition with all my energy.

Actually this is a feature of MasterMod, too, which is currently missing. For some reasons, constructing the correct filenames doesn’t work as expected. But you’ll read it once I figure out why

No send0r that does definetly not work, I had it named to NinBlack.png, so I tried to change it to background.png and it didnt work, and then I deleted it and again it didnt work. Just to be clear, the problem is that with your nintendont, the autoboot screen apeears, so you can see text, background, and things ("press b to cancel autoboot). I dont want that, I want it just like with mastermod, with mastermod once I have launched the game, all is black until the game starts, no autoboot screen at all (despite the fact that there is autoboot and you can cancel but you see all black). I remember that with wiiflow lite, I could do this even with the official newer nintendont, but with wiiflow mastermod, only works with its nintendont.

 

[send0r]

Ok hmm this Sounds like something I did in an older build, but changed it to be like mastermod. Could you redownload my mod and try again? I will test it too once I get home after work.

 

[arturogalaxy]

Done, it happens the same, nintendont autoboot screen appearing.

 

[send0r]

Ok so I Downloaded the version I provide on my website and tested booting from Wii U menu, nintendont itself, usbloader gx and wii flow lite. Everything works as expected here. The screen is always black even when booting the game from inside nintendont. No nintendont game loading text...
I couldn’t find a working link for wii flow master mod so I couldn’t test this one out.

So lets try to find out where this problem comes from
What does nintendont show on built date if you cancel autoboot by pressing b? My mod was built on January 27 2018 16:08:59.

Could you take a photo of the stuff nintendont shows on the display when autobooting a game?

 

[arturogalaxy]

Of course here you go just in case: http://www.mediafire.com/file/3mxh2azkbza43db/WiiFlow_v4.2.3_Nintendont_MasterMod_Pack_Full_2016.7z this link is in the own gbatemp thread of mastermod (someone upoaded it).
I think I have not even to press B because header appears in the own autoboot, this is when launching a gamecube title from wiiflow mastermod:

hope we can get this solved!

 

[send0r]

Ok so it Looks like wiiflow mastermod uses another way to tell nintendont how to boot games. Could you test out the build i uploaded to test.send0r.de? Hopefully I didn’t brake anything. I’ll test it out too once I’m home

 

[arturogalaxy]

Okay I tested your build, it throws me this exception:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VMyHi77q7d2kysXDdlqEpk53M8lz0JLA
I've tried many times with pal and usa games and always the same, a few seconds in black like normal, and by the time it would be launching the gamecube intro it throws the exception and then returns back to wiiflow, at least not autoboot screen

Yeah, interestingly booting through Wii U menu just works fine. I’ll do some more tests tomorrow. Have to sleep now. This is very interesting

Hmm no sorry this mod just has cosmetical changes. I don’t know if this would even be possible to be honest...

It could be kind of possible would need a lot of work and wouldn't be worth doing as it be hard also you would need to map accelerometer as a right thumbstick (hence I'm sure it's right thumbstick for camera in Mario sunshine)

Nice!

In fact I notice that you can press B and cancel autoboot, (so until that is working good), and if you do this is how nintendont shows:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Vb2ImGyAmR1hjFwFhsCyKkcOGrzy_O7q

only games in red shows, from that you can exit to wiiflow normally or load a game with crash.

 

[send0r]

Ok so I changed a few things at it seems to boot games fine now. It‘d be nice if you could try it out, too

 

[arturogalaxy]

Awesome! It works perfectly! Btw I notice that you managed to show the bios on Pal without any problem, thats nice, it seems to me that maybe its even an animation not real bios? awesome.

 

[arturogalaxy]

Oh one last question, do you know how could I do so that if I launch my wii U nintendont (wii U menu), it dont launch an autoboot if before I launched a game with wiiflow? is like if the autoboot were storaged when launching a game with wiiflow-nintendont, and then executed if I launch the Wii U nintendont, but they are separated nintendonts, mine (boot.dol) is in fact installed in the own forwarder and I would like to avoid autoboot in order to choose first the game without pressing B

Nice to hear that
Yes this animation is the original mod made by mr mysterio. Originally I just was the guy who kept it up to date.

This happens because of how wiiflow mastermod launches nintendont. I have the theory that it writes to the config of nintendont. To permanently stop it you would need to either delete your nintendont config or press b and disable autoboot everytime after you started nintendont with wiiflow mastermod

 

[arturogalaxy]

Hum... I know, I remember when I had wiiflow lite installed by november it didnt happened like if they managed to separate both settings, well, its not a big deal.

 

[send0r]

Actually they did. When launching over Wii flow lite, usbloader gx or the Wii U menu nintendont gets some arguments passed over as a temporary config. What wiiflow mastermod does is kinda a rude method
