Is there a revision that works with the Zelda collectors disc, n64 games? I only get sound, controls, and a black blank screen. Game is seemingly playing fine otherwise. Can start a save and everything blind.

I tried looking a bit but just found old bug reports on the game for something else.

It works fine for a while already lol.

Did you use a specific video mode patching?

Not what I asked lol

Ntsc or pal?
480p? Progressive patch?
It is. Wiiu widescreen is a video patch if u ask me. And those are the only settings I use except the Wii u's own settings. 720p. Everything else is default. vwii btw (obviously)

Ntsc (not forced) and ntsc game.

I'll try forcing 480 or some other random stuff I guess

I'm sure. I can see the extension on my phone. It's correct.

Looking at the image, I don't see the GameID on the folder's name, I'm not sure if it's still required in Nintendont or not but the GameID is essential for loaders in general to see the game in the list.

Edit: Nevermind, looks like you fixed it.

It was never required. The only time you needed it was if you were using a cheat file that you made yourself.

As I said... The NES games worked fine.

At any rate, I found my backup and put the old dol back on, booted it up, it worked, updated, still works. No idea, dont care. Works now. Lol.

Had been using nintendont for a few weeks without any issue, then on the weekend, the game cube controller stopped working. It's a genuine controller plugged into the Wii GameCube ports.

it works in the menu, but as soon as I launch a game, nothing.

any ideas?

I had a buddy over the other day and we were trying to play some GC games on a regular Wii, but Nintendont only recognized player one's input, player two/three/four was dead in the water. We could use both controllers in other VC titles just fine though. Anyone else run into this issue at all before?

What controller. I believe Nintendont only works with one if you're using a HID USB controller.

Also, make sure you have "MaxPads" set to 4 in your loader.

  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    one of the reasons i deleted all my social media accounts, reddit account (although i was rarely using it) etc was to get away from this shit.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Vetusomaru, Sadly, not all communities like to play nice. Forums are pretty much dying despite Discord amongst other social media being available.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i only kept my twitter accounts and only because many of the artists i like share their art only/mostly at twitter.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    lots of discord groups (even the big ones) are also dead for some reason.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Twitter is way too shittier.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    that's why i added some firefox addons to block shit like twitter trends.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Discord, on the other hand, moderation tends to not be very nice in video game communities from what I had experienced.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    nah, discord is also a shithole. discord is good only if you have your own community with your own rules. or if you re lucky to find some groups that arent shitholes.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    as about forums, when i recently revisited some old forums i used to be regular and seeing how immature most members still are i was like "Yeap. Nothing of value has been lost.". Unfortunately it's the good, comfy forums that ended up dead or shut down, especially because of internet centralization.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I like being immature.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Let be immature online ffs.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    As long as it's not resetera, anywhere is ok really.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    resetera is just... cancerous
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    is that Ultimate Hentai Kamen at your avatar?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I see you're a person of culture.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    likewise
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    It's a genuinely great manga.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    too bad it never got an anime adaption, even in the form of OVA since a tv series would be too censored for the manga's material.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    and yeah, great manga.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    no idea why it would be censored tbh, it has nothing to explicit
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    compared to most midnight anime that air in japan
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    we talk about same japanese tv that censors shit like teenage characters smoking
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'd rather they censor smoking than cleavage like they do in the west.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Smoking is bad for your health, boobs are good
