Hacking Nintendont

[uyjulian]

That's not the point, the guy asked wither Nintendont is better or DM, I said that while Nintendont is basically the better option it's not perfect in running every game, it doesn't matter wither you like the game or not, besides I don't think MMAC even emulates the games, when I looked through the files I didn't find any Roms inside of it so they seem to run natively but I could be wrong.

I seriously don't know why you'd wanna do that.

The SD card is usually faster than USB, because not everybody plugs a 2TB SSD into their Wii.

But if it's a speed issue then wouldn't it make sense to want to run the game off the SD instead?

That is completely wrong.

Even on a PC, SD cards are way slower than HDD on every spec minus seek time.
On the Wii, the SD slot is capped even more than the SD card itself.

The only reason I can think of using SD over HDD (other than initial cost) is some ppl like me won't want to risk writing anything to the HDD where they don't have another TB backup.

Some games like the intro video to Mario Kart: Double Dash have lag when running off an SD Card in the SD Slot but run flawlessly on HDD or using a USB SD Reader (even using the same SD Card).

Because for some reason the save files have to be on the same storage medium as the games themselves. It'd be nice to be able to have the option to have the save files on the SD card if you have 2 Wii consoles but don't want to unplug the HDD every time you want to change console or move the save data over to the PC.

Currently I use an old Gamecube memory card which allows me to do just that but an SD card would be more reliable. More options are always better.

Yeah.. no, not every game that runs on DM runs just as good on Nintendont, despite how much we want them to, you have to remember certain games when they were being developed hardware limitation was taken in mind and many companies used this to their advantage to do a half assed job as these games weren't meant to be ran on another hardware, some games still suffer from some delays or speed up in Nintendont that didn't in DM, does this mean Nintendont fails? No, but it still makes DM more accurate for certain games.

I didn't post there wasn't a difference, as I don't actually know, I posted there probably isn't a difference in accuracy to a noticeable degree. Unless you mean the lack of slowdowns in Nintendont, but why would you want slowdowns?

I haven't tested any third-party games, though. For that generation I prefered my Xbox for multiplatform games and I still use it for those games. I've tested most of the first-party games, though, and I haven't noticed any difference in accuracy.

As expected, you took this personally, alright have a nice day.

Well, you needlessly made claims about his work that aren't true. I'd be rather annoyed as well.

But you still need to unplug the usb device to put the games on the other wii since your isos are on usb lol so whats the point?Unless you got 2 hdds with the same exact isos connected to two diferent wiis wich is insane lol.

I have heard quite a number cases of damaged SD card slots, so it is not advisable to plug/unplug the SD card too often. Plug/unplug HDD may be safer.
You can use Wiixplorer or ftp app to transfer the save file - then it makes no different if it is on HDD or SD.

I didn't even know you could use the same SD card on multiple consoles, don't SD cards lock the information on one console so that you wouldn't be able to run Wiiware games on the same SD card on a different console?

Just put the "saves" folder and your apps folder on an SD card and only ROMs on the HDD. It works fine. Loading times for homebrew apps are minimal.

it wont swap disc on code veronica or the remake of resident 1 i just manually swapped disc with veronica but i cant get any further with the remake because it wants to swap disc on a spot i can't save at so i can't get any further in the game
