Hacking Nintendont

[FIX94]

Does the triforce patch fix any triforce games? Crediar was able to get mario kart gp 2 working before he implemented triforce support to the official Nintendont code, which broke it

It doesnt change anything of their current behavior no. I just split those patches so it wouldnt try to apply these to every game. Also both me and crediar are clueless why only gp1 works of right now so yea.

crediars video

Maybe try a different iso?

That video doesn't show Double Dash in widescreen, it's stretched from it's original aspect ratio to fit that TV.

as far as I know there is no widescreen hack which works with double dash, there is a cheat though for the PAL version, I dont know if they are any for other versions.

I know there is one that works for Double Dash and Animal Crossing in one of the later versions of Swiss and in the latest version of Devolution.
I think Extrems is responsible for the Swiss Widescreen hacks.

Sorry but I have to disagree with what skull87 said about WD drives. I have a MyPassport 500 GB HDD since 2011, sill works like a charm on Wii and on Wii U. His claims that they are garbage are unfounded. Seagate and Toshiba drives are pretty unreliable. I don't know where he got that silly notion from.

Mine is WD MyPassport 1TB (I had a 500GB before it) I'm glad to know it also works on Wii U this means once I softmod my Wii U and switch to it I can use the same Hard Drive, also I can confirm Toshiba really hates Dios Miso and goes to sleep a lot on Wii mode, I don't recommend it for Wii!

SDs are known for having high loading times and lag with games if not formatted properly.
It is always recommended to try using a USB for better results.

VinsCool, sonictopfan have you guys tried Sonic Gems Collection? Sonic CD specifically with the latest build?

I did actually and was about to post me results:

So I tested my entire GC collections with the new update 2.171 and I'm afraid compatibility is almost identical to the previous rev, Billy Hatcher and Sonic Adventure work fine, one game was fixed though, Super Monkey Ball Adventure now works fine now other than that I didn't notice any differences (well I noticed that Sonic Adventure "Alpha" now has an issue with the GC controller in which Sonic doesn't stand still but he keeps slowly walking towards the last direction that was pressed, I guess I can't complain here since the final version runs fine) anyway thanks for the update Fix94 keep up the good work!

Interesting that Super Monkey Ball Adventure boots now. Without looking at the compatibility list the only games I can think of that doesn't boot is PSO

There are quite a few, I can name from the top of my head Batman Vengeance, Frogger Ancient Shadow, Kao Kangaroo, Namco Museum, Midway Treasures 2, and both Phantasy Star games, also the Triforce games still don't work save for Mario Kart Arcade 1 though it doesn't save, there's also speed up in TMNT.

Edit: In case it wasn't clear from my previous comment, Sonic CD still doesn't work but the other two (Sonic R and Sonic The Fighters) work fine!

Thanks guys, Nintendont is working lovely. I've booted up F-zero GX through USB Loader GX and i'm seriously impressed, the framerate is silky smooth, far cry from what I get on Dolphin.

Why would Nintendont have framerate issues when it's not emulating the game? The game is being played through actual hardware

I think this one is it:

16:9 Aspect Ratio (Widescreen) [Ralf]
043CBE08 3FE38E39
043CBE0C 40649373

It is for the GameID [GM4E01]

I know it's on actual hardware, but i'm just happy I can play these games at full speed, without stutter or lag.

I came to report a bug I just noticed, testing Sonic Gems Collection again I figured I'd test the GG and MD games but sound doesn't work, the minute you select a game something happens that interrupts the sound, also if you hit "reset" for a GG game it doesn't work, however this isn't an issue with MD games!

I went ahead and tested Sonic Adventure and Sonic Mega Collection and the GG/MD games worked fine, I know the emulator used in all 3 games are different, I was having fun through hacking the games one time and replacing Roms, I noticed that Sonic Mega Collection PLUS and Sonic Gems Collection share the same emulators and Rom format but not the others, I remember Sega Smash Pack on Dreamcast used non-encrypted Roms and can work fine on a regular Mega Drive emulator, but that's irrelevant!

FIX94 I'm really surprised why Sonic Gems Collection keeps getting issues like that with Sonic CD and now the GG/MD games, it worked just fine in v1.171 maybe someone with knowledge can compare both and track down the error!

Most of those are c tier though (bar PSO and MT2). Most of the ones not working yet are simply sped up, like LOTR 2, LOTR 3, CoD 2, Freedom Fighters, Hitman 2, etc or a few that freeze (Spartan, Micro machines, etc).

For me sonic cd never worked interestingly enough.

It worked in 1.171 actually!

 

[FIX94]

what is 1.171 if I may ask?

 

[Bimmel]

I may be a bit stupid, but I cant get my HDD to work.

It tries to boot, but shuts down in the same moment.. hum.

More info, please. USB powered, do you have a USB Y-cable? Does it use AC power? Brand? Model of HDD? If USB only, you MUST have a USB Y-cable.

I think he meant 2.171, there is no 1.171. XD
