Hacking Nintendont

[absinthee]

Alright then, I'd like to know which Triforce games work on Nintendont so I could hunt them down

I can confirm that F-Zero AX and both Mario Kart Arcade GP games work. Load times tend to be a bit long on your first time running them, but they run great in-game.

Not sure about any others.

its just one look into the sources to see what works...

Nope, you need the gcm versions of the Tri-Force games, no mame files, nor iso will work, I tried that already. But I still recommend this tool to change the Game ID of Virtua Striker 4. Ver. 2006 Export and Japan to the custom one, because FIX94's tool will maintain the Game ID of the Virtua Striker 3 GCN game.

to come back to this I just finished up work on my patcher and made it a new repository including a README on the bottom of the page which I think should explain everything fairly well how to use it, I did come up with custom IDs and titles for every game so nothing should overwrite each other anymore.
I dont know but maybe this should get onto the first page? I think it would be pretty good to finally have some sort of clear files because they are quite a lot of files floating around.

I already have those along with Virtua Striker 4, I have them since the Quadforce days, but I was talking about the other games Fix94 mentioned a few pages back.

Thanks, I didn't know that I know nothing about compiling a dol, but looking at the source in the link you sent I can see all four games mentioned there, however I was asking for any other Triforce games working with Nintendont "other than the ones that use cards or any other physical items that Pedro702 mentioned" since I have these four already and they run just fine.

gekitou pro yakyuu - mizushima shinji all stars vs. pro yakyuu. That is the only other triforce game that works with nintendont that i know of.

normally I dont like double posting but oh well.
-added support for the triforce game gekitou pro yakyuu (rev b and c) and adjusted the controls of the virtua striker games to be closer to what they should be

That was from fix94 back on page 1538 and there is also a picture somewhere on page 1533 of it running on nintendont.

Ok, thank you

EDIT- It worked

 

[pedro702]

Ok, thank you

EDIT- It worked

as expected, we need a big red sign besides the width saying it can balackscreen most games.

Thank you for the reply, I see it's a baseball game, I probably won't play this much "I hardly ever touched Mario Baseball" but it would be nice if I add it to my collection.

anyone know how to convert CHD for Gekitou Pro Yakyu to iso?

just tried CHDMAN to BIN, then BIN 2 ISO, but the patcher doesn't recognize it.

 

[MassiveRican]

I did of course try hooking up the memory card code but it makes the game crash badly and corrupt the save data in the process so yea, chances are very unlikely that feature will ever be added.

This makes me quite sad however no huge loss still unbelievable that the fixes keep coming for Nintendont. Love to see the on-going support this community provides. Thx 2 all! XD

Alright so because I've seen quite a lot of people now not knowing how to properly set the triforce header or want to know if they have a valid file in their hands I decided to make a little patcher tool which automatically sets a header readable by a human and also checks the iso SHA1 to make sure whatever they have there is actually a valid dump. Just drag and drop the file you have into the .exe and let it do its work.
As a small bonus I also let it remove some useless data in GP1 which exists because of a overdumped file and also let it fix a known bad texture in virtua striker 4 version 2006 (japan) if the dump happens to have that known dumping error. Let me know if it works like it should.

Thanks! Really useful tool

Never had long load times here (at first run). All Virtua Striker games work also.

I'm on a Nintendo Wii and I'm having trouble getting my wavebird controllers to work. Should they be working out of the box? I know they need to be on before starting and I have them powered on. I'm not sure what to do! Anyone have any knowledge about this? Thanks

well just put them on the 1st slot of the wii like regular gc controllers and turn them on on the nintendont menu and chooze a game to launch with them.

 

[forkedpotato]

Trying to play on Nintendont by connecting PS3 Controller, which was working the first time I ever loaded Nintendont, but doesnt seem to work anymore. Help?

 

[FIX94]

just tried CHDMAN to BIN, then BIN 2 ISO, but the patcher doesn't recognize it.

That is step 1 out of 8 on my "list" I have in my head, maybe I'll make some program or something someday to actually do it easy and quick.
