Hacking Nintendont

[TecXero]

That's odd. Just installed Homebrew browser on vWii on my Wii U, and have installed absolutely nothing else, but am getting the "Kernel failed to load NAND" error.

Homebrew channel version is 1.1.2
IOS58 v25.32

Did you also copy over the XML file?

Ah I didn't see that the .xml file had a .txt appended to it. I just copied it over without looking. Silly of me. Removing that worked. Thanks.

Sheesh, and I thought the rxTools thread was long.
Awesome work on this.

Been away for the week, having some extra work related stuff, checking previous pages to see what I'm missing.

Version 1.2 of the program works fine. It makes both the tmp folder with the raw.bin inside of it and the actual game in .bin format both on the desktop where the program is located. Thank you FIX94.

I'm using Win XP as well "well I do have a laptop with Win 7 too but I prefer using this computer with Win XP because I'm more used to it, I know it's ancient but it's a matter of preference, this PC also has Win 98 believe it or not" anyway link for v1.2 with the XP fix? Thank you.

Edit: nvm I didn't notice the link in the original post by Fix94 was updated to v1.2 automatically, I think it should be posted in the front page for easy access.

just leaving this here.

Shit, is this possible now by default or do I need to use a mod or enable an option? I wonder if a fix for the major frame rate drops in Crash Bandicoot The Wrath of Cortex can be done, that game was butchered when ported to GC.

I just found that to make it work an official memory card (in my case a 251 blocks memory card), all we need to do is go to Wii options -> Data Management -> Save Data -> Nintendo Gamecube -> Slot A. Make sure the memory card is recognized properly, after that, go to menu channel and start the HBC, proceed to load nintendont and disable memcard emulation. After entering the GC bios the real and official memory card should be detected.

ah, the oldschool let the wii unlock my memory card for me method. since I dont own any original memory card I never was able to test any of my patches for it and I bet you that it also depends on your BIOS version since they all use different patches in nintendont and I guess some work while others dont.

So is it a CardUnlock thing, like the previous issue?

Yep, oh I also should mention the patches are right here, they basically work by abusing not perfectly optimized machine code and I bet you that I made a mistake somewhere in there. If you REALLY want to see a fix I need a original memory card and EVERY IPL available from everyone so yea as if that is going to happen ever.

its a cheat, get it from the video description.

Regarding real MCs and the issue of getting them to work I'll mention that it only happens with first party MCs and it only happens if you use bios, if you want to use real MCs and have them work everytime just disable the bios, the issue with real MCs was fixed long ago with Nintendont but once bios feature was added to work with real MCs this issue started, I think the best solution is simply by making an option to disable the use of bios at will, this will make it easy for those who like to use real MCs to get the games running with no issues.

why not remove the bios from your ubs/SDcard it makes no sence why you cant just rename it or remove it ...

Hi. I will like to add report for Nintendont bug.

I did look up Nintendont game list which game will work to use it.
I am using SD card and GCIT. One game didn't work at all. But in list said, it work fine.
http://prntscr.com/9cl1ix
I am using that game in USA. When I load that game from Nintendont or USBLoader GX, it start make a list like they always do when you load the game.
Suddenly, my Wii turn it off itself when I load this game. It is something wrong with Nintendont or I am using wrong kind to use GCIT? Does have other kind than GCIT?

Did you try the raw iso? If it works as a full ISO, it might not work compressed.

gcit break alligment and breaks audiostreaming games, either use the full iso or use DMToolbox. you broke the stream so that iso is now crap get a full new one and use it full or get DMToolbox and choose 32k alignement to shrink it.

You didn't say which game, but did you check the MD5 hash and make sure the ISO isn't corrupt? Why are you using GCIT? Just copy the ISO into /games/<game name>/game.iso and you're good to go.

Because I use EmuMC more than real MCs but I also use real MCs with games I play very often "especially Sonic Adventure 2 with the Chao garden" so going back and fourth with this it's just more trouble than its worth.

you dont need bios to play any game so your saying just becuase you refuse to choose either one or the other someone needs to make an option on nintendont menu that praticaly no one will ever use but you? lol

Uh...I did. I use screenshot which game didn't work. How do I know check on that? Because I don't know ID code for GC game. Where can I find it ID code for GC game?

Where can I find full iso? Website I use will be in your message soon. Do I have to use DMToolBox that I already download crap iso that didn't work?

sorry, I missed the screenshot. MM Anniversary does work with Nintendont. I ripped all of my games with CleanRip and have only had one that didn't read properly and required a re-rip.

You don't need the Title ID, only the MD5 hash for your ISO so you can look on redump.org and see if it's valid. (It's G6QE08 for the NTSC-US version, btw.)

There's a tool in my signature that will calculate the hash and look it up for you.

I know it does work. But when I load it, it crash and Wii turn it off itself. Alright. I will try it and use that. Thank for help me.

when wii turns off means the iso is not alligned and nintendont shuts the wii off its intended.


As i said by using gcit any game that has even a single audiostreaming file was broken.
