Hacking Nintendont

[faku1810]

is there a fast way to do this if all my games are already on the HDD? thx

I don't think so. You'll have to move them to the pc and then format the drive as fat32, then you use wii backup manager to transfer them back.

Maybe the letters should be blue or Red instead of plain white.

i don't think it's necessary, people just needs to learn to read before asking. It's right there, they have to focus their eyes on that side to choose sd or usb, and after choosing it immediately says B = settings. I don't understand how they skip it.

I found a NTFS to FAT32 partitioner that keeps the files intact so I'll try to convert all my 4gb+ files and then do this .... I'll let you know if it works

So I finally got around creating a save file for each one of my games collection, it took me several hours due to having many games!

Question: How can I create a save file for a game in slot B? In other words if I want to have another Chao Garden in Sonic Adventure 2 (one for each one of my sisters as each one of them uses her own memory card) how can I do that with Nintendont?

Anyway while creating the files I got around testing some games:


Negatives:

-Sonic Adventure DX crashes a lot and every time I press jump Sonic activates the homing attack right away, at first I thought it's my controller but I tested other games and I tested the game with Dios Mios, same results everytime, can anyone confirm this issue or is it just me?

-Billy Hatcher didn't start, black screen from the beginning!

-Crash Bandicoot: WoC game runs fast!

-Donald Duck Going Quakers has graphical issues!

-Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 crashes after the character select screen!


Positives:

-Spiderman The Movie seems to work fine, it gives black screen with Dios Mios unless there's a disc inserted!

-Sonic Gems Collection works fine without disc in the drive, it requires a disx in Dios Mios!

-Godzilla works fine, it crashes righ after a match on Dios Mios!

-Megaman X Command's Mission works fine, it crashes occasionally on Dios Mios!

-Simpsons Road Rage seems to work fine, it crashes occasionally on Dios Mios!


With every update Nintendont gets closer to perfection, thank you all for the good work!

all those issues you found are known issues thats why we have a compat listnintendont is still wip so you need to wait for those issues to be fixed not sure about memory card B tough.

Also if anyone is interested i played the entire game Geist on nintendont 140 whole game tested no issues found.

After you choose Sd or Usb, Press B to open the settings. Come on people it's on nice white letters at the right side.[/quote]


Oh man I'm an idiot, thanks

-Sonic Adventure DX crashes a lot...

I haven't gotten pure gameplay crashes yet but ever since v1.131 the controller disconnects after a few minutes of playing, did you notice that?

Oh God what a jerk I am.

I tried activating a cheat code that affects the appearance of the Chao in Slot 1 for Sonic Adventure 2: Battle via Nintendont.
Ran it like thrice, converted 2 different AR codes, got one native WiiRD/Ocarina/Gecko code, and nothing.

Turns out the god damn Slot 1 Chao for my Memory Card was in the stupid classroom learning drawing and not in any Chao Garden.
GOD DAMN YOU, CHAO SCHOOL!

Anyway, out of that I haven't got any issues with Nintendont running cheat codes at all.

It worked! I converted my NTFS into Fat32 while keeping all of my files intact but now I have to realign the HD to 4096 and it takes an eternity :S

How did you get cheats to work? I am having trouble with cheats.

No don't, it needs to be FAT32 with 32K clusters not 4096.

 

[Rob Blou]

No don't, it needs to be FAT32 with 32K clusters not 4096.

Sorry I meant 4096 byte per sector .... as Cyan stated:
Nintendont : First partition on the drive, Primary, FAT32, 64k/cluster, 512,1024,2048,4096 bytes per sector

Do both knobiwii.bin and kenobigc.bin need to be in sneek folder on my usb root to use cheats for GC games through Wiiflow and Nintendont? I thought I only needed kenobiwii file for GC games. Having trouble getting cheats to work with GC games...

The higher cluster size, faster your HDD would run. 32k is recommended.

Hey guys, i had an idea, to test Ultimate Spiderman [GUTE52] with Nintendont r140, and memory card size set to 59 blocks.
Guess what? It DOES save correctly now and does NOT corrupt save data anymore, requesting formats every so often.

And the compatibility list grows greener... =EDIT= It appears that after exiting the game and then rebooting it, your savegame loads fine, so you can keep your progress. However, the FIRST time you try to save in each new boot, you are now prompted to format MC. Don't sweat it though, you can save no problem afterwards, for as many times you wish. So with the above method, the game IS completable as loading always works. It is saving that requires format only once per boot. I saw people mentioning Baten Kaitos saving issues, maybe with the above method that game can also be completable.

kenobiwii.bin inside the folder in the root of the SD called sneek.
Then, in Nintendont (or your USB loader), activate Cheats/Ocarina on and boot the game.
Don't forget that you must have the GCT file in the correct folder for the cheats to load.

Ok. I thought the Sneek directory had to be on the device my games are on. I have the apps and such on SD, and my games on a USB Flash Drive.

Just for the record, I have them on my SD, although I don't know if I have them in the USB too.
Try leaving the files in both devices, just to be sure.

If I put games on a USB HDD, they need to be on 1st Partition? Also what format for Partition?

always fat32

 

[Skeet1983]

always fat32

What cluster size, etc?

 

[Skeet1983]

For my USB HDD, I can only choose NTFS or exFat. What do I choose?
