Hacking Nintendont

[JoostinOnline]

My Sd card is slow as hell, but yes, depending on SD class, speed is greatly improved in class 9

The slow speeds in current versions aren't caused by the SD card, just the SD kernel. Try using v1.30 or below and you'll see a ridiculous performance boost.

I knew about the SD kernel, I just speak in general
And, just a question, would SD speed be improved in the future?

Well I hope so, lol.

Okay, I am not really annoyed for now, loading speed might be worse in fact So, I am not going to cry for some seconds to load a map, USB is faster still XD

The problem only exists in the SD build.

I know it, and it does not really annoy me. Playability in Zelda Wind Waker is still perfect.

The following games now work: Spyro A Heroes Tale, BloodRayne

I'm going to track down what revision broke burnout 2

Well, there isn't really a need to advertise that there's a configuration menu... if you read the screen it says B Button = Settings or something like that. Also, it's not that it spams the button (at least, it's not supposed to, even if you have only one game) but it does seem like the autoboot was enabled. This would be caused by loading a game straight from an usb loader with such option enabled, or maybe a previous attempt. You can stop the autobooting by pressing B (it should say so in the screen if that's the case B = Stop Boot)

In any case, I'm glad you could sort it out and enable the HID option in nintendont.

AFAIK autoboot isn't enabled. I'm booting the app straight from HBC with default settings.

Just try holding down the B button in the SD/USB menu. It will constantly enter and exit the configuration menu because it appears Nintendont (or devkit. Not sure which handles input) doesn't handle button hold input.
Either that or it doesn't like my Wii remote.

I see why, its a missing pad patch, if I find the time I'll add it.

Burnout 2 has the same problem. It boots in r26 but black screen on r27.

It's also one of those games that don't have working controls. It may work now with your new controller code.

so the gamepad patch might fix afew games i see that stopped working

SSBM occasionally freezes while/after saving since r30, tested on v1.44.. without caching

and slow loading times

You mean after r30, right?

 

[JnL_SSBM]

You mean after r30, right?

yeah, last stable version: v1.29

Are you positive that r30 doesn't work okay?

 

[JnL_SSBM]

Are you positive that r30 doesn't work okay?

really i dunno, in my case, since r30 or r31 seems to be working perfectly, and rare freezes when saving.

on 1.44 freeze occasionally when saving, and i detected LAG con sticks when saving (if game not froze), also have "slower" loading times (i think it's my SD)

Does anyone know which IPL.bin file is needed for compatibility with certain games? Jap/Pal/Usa?

Plus does using different region BIOS's give different results?

I didn't mean "holding B", just pressing it. But that's when you get a "B = Stop Boot" message in the corner, otherwise you'd simply get to choose between SD / USB to show your game list; after that you can press B to toggle the settings display. It's all there in the screen.

If for some reason what you mean is that you load nintendont and it chooses the Source and the game on its own, displaying the game list, then that's something weird. When autoboot is enabled you don't see any of that, but only the button legend on the corner and after a little while the game is loaded.

If this situation keeps happening unless you spam the A button as you described before, then you should try deleting the nincfg.bin just in case.

Just testing 1.30 and 1.31 would help.

Well in that case i went ahead and checked. Looks like it starts at 1.31, speeds were fast on 1.30 for all the mentioned games in my previous post.

Anybody want to do SD USB speedtests Nintendont vs IOS ?

 

[Adeka]

I just learned hitting the home button quits the loader. Neat little trick that is never posted about.
