All the games work fine. I have all 20.
Since you're discussing the Animal Crossing NES games, I thought I'd throw out one of the things I figured out. The CluCluLand D game is a famicom disc game (not a cartridge like the others). The other games are all in nes format and can be used directly with emulators. This one game is in .qd (quickdisk) format. This format is identical to the fds format
http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/Family_Computer_Disk_System
used by emulators, except it has the checksums (CRC) still in it. If you delete the checksum values (thus making the file 0x14 bytes smaller) it works with emulators that support fds format games. Comparing it to the one identified in MESS, it is identical, except it doesn't have the optional FDS header (16 bytes), block 1 is slightly different (dates, number of times written, unknown usage values, etc.) and the high score table has all high score entries with 0 and the same id. Otherwise, it's identical.

Just got into using Nintendont, which btw is awesome! Anybody else having an issue with the aspect ratio of the tv being super stretched upon exiting a game. When exiting a game, it returns me to the warning health message, but it's so stretched I can only read the first half of the screen. I'm using a Wii U with a Wii U Pro controller. I'd appreciate any feedback.

Ive experience this only 3 times in my hundreds of times using Nintendont. Just power off the wii and it will be back to normal

im a pal user that uses rgb on my wii and i never had any issues with the picture and all my games are ntsc i think its becuase the users tvs dont acept the signal or something my lcd screen has no issues with rgb pal wii with ntsc games forced ntsc or auto and nintendont was never red for me.



on the ps3 remote the exit combo is the select button not sure on the ps4 tbh try select?


wiiu widescreen does fullscree basicaly those bars will always appear becuase the wii or vwii doesn not show full 480p someone gave a very good explanation on why those bars appeared afew pages back but yeah you cant get ride of them, and no you cant use 2 hid devices at the same time so far.


not sure about autoboot but wiiuwidescreen just stretches it doesnt do widescreen per say the way to get a true 16:9 is the setting force widescreen but be advised manny games randomly freeze with forced widescreen.


maybe the pal game can be forced to pal 60Hz? also just becuase a game runs 50hz doesnt means it looks bad imo just 50 frames per second.



are you shour that you have an rgb cable? the cheaper ones look like rgb but only output composit signal.

My tv has 2 SCARTS connections. When the RGB cable is connected to one of them, NTSC games and Nintendont's GUI are displayed in red. The other SCART connection will display everything fine because that connection itslef is not RGB compatible, only displays AV signal. You have probably the same issue than me here.

Someone on the compatibility list lies, or I got the wrong settings?

Prince of Persia Warrior Within is still not booting for me.

Not compressed 1,32 GB in size (WiiFlow WiiU Widescreen Patch Edition from AbdallahTero)
Video mode default
Language standard
Loader Nintendont
WiiU Widescreen On
Everything else off

Any ideas to this? It must be something obvious, as always..

hey guys, just registered because I'm fighting with Nintendont since a few hours.
At first, it kept telling me "please load nintendont with ahbprot disabled", but thankfully a simple update of the HBC channel fixed it.
However, I still can't run the game because it gets stuck on "Loading patched kernel.... -1". I also tried to run the disk inside instead of an ISO, and it says the same.
I tried to search before making this post but I couldn't find any solution. Any help?

Do I need to have 4.3 firmware by any chance? I think I have 4.2E. Pressing the home button in HBC it tells me that it's using IOS58.

edit: oh btw I'm on a real Wii, not vWii.

If you have any homebrew channel themes installed delete them or try another theme. Some homebrew channel themes cause that loading patched kernel-1 error.
