Hacking Nintendont

[Vague Rant]

It is indeed a very good question...

Vague Rant, how did you take those screenshots comparing the deflicker on/off?

I have a USB Gecko, the unofficial debugging tool. As far as I know, Nintendont doesn't have a screenshot function.

Offset 0 is 01 when the touchpad is not touched, and 02 when it is touched. It stays at 02 until you push one of the buttons I have mapped to start/power.

Just to make sure I understand, Pressing other buttons and moving sticks dosent cause offset 0 to go back to 01?

 

[bobmcjr]

Ok so when I touch the touchpad, it goes to 02, and when I press anything else, it goes to 01.

Try this controller.ini

im having issues booting Virtua striker 2002 USA, GAME ID GVSE8P. i get a black screen on load but the game works fine with dios mios and dolphin (nintendont settings are all off ). btw im booting the game directly from nintendont through a usb drive pendrive (other games work fine)

I hope either USB-Loader GX or Nintendont get an update to re-fix the games that broke when loaded from USBLGX because it's the loader of my choice

Can all of you that are having problems that occur only when Nintendont is launched from USBLGX retest using 2.203 At least one user has reported it fixed his problem with USBLGX. (i believe it was actually fixed in 2.202 but they ignored what version I told them to test with)

 

[saltypepper]

can you see the saves on the wii menu? by going into the data management?

Yes I can see them. Actually, all my games can't read my memory card data. '-'

Also, I don't think Dolphin supports Ubuntu.

With the new upgrade since rev 197 (last one i used) I am no longer getting the Progressive mode question on start up on games like sonic adventure 2 and super smash bros melee. anyone else experiencing this?
My video setting is set to auto
Using default nintendont loader.
It stays in 480i weird, using component cables on wii.
Just tested with deflicker option on ssbm. Black screens but works weird.
Deflicker option is also giving me a black screen on ssbm using component cables on wii.

using rev 203

Are you going to upload that save file soon so others can try?

Yes, here's a link to download it (can't upload .raw files here):

I didn't even know USBLGX was updated, thanks.

 

[ccfman2004]

Alas that is probably a (Warp) pipe dream at this point but I digress.

Nice Mario reference.

It's not.
he talked about nintendont being updated.
Nakata said USBLoaderGX was not the issue because it worked with older version of nintendont. So if nintendont fixed it, you don't have to update USBLoaderGX.
Maybe they changed/corrupted the path size if too long, so renaming to 6 bytes fixed your issue.?

 

[pedro702]

Since we're on the topic of updates and all, I just to remind the devs about the broken issues, not demanding here but merely a reminder, keep in mind that I did not test the newer revisions yet, last I tested was r199, so I'm not sure if any of these issues were fixed, I can't test atm though...

**Tested in r199**
-Frogger Ancient Shadows still back screen
-Virtua Striker 4 2006 still black screen
-Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 still crashes at camera screen
-Virtua Striker 2002 still crashes at save screen (worked fine in r174)
-Sonic Adventure DX Chao Race still crashes (worked fine in r164)
-Sonic CD still black screens after exit (worked fine in r181)
-Sonic Adventure Alpha still black screen (worked okay in r164)
-Sonic Mega Collection Proto still works without sound (worked fine in r164)

it would be best if you could track the excat rev that broke sonic chaos race instead of saying it broke between 164 and 199 an exact rev helps alot resolving the issue.

Eh... this won't be easy... Guess I have no choice.

I'll test it whenever I get the chance, thanks!

Easiest way is to pick a rev that is in between the 2 say 176 and see if works or not. If not then halve it again. If it did work, try the rev in the middle of the one that worked and 199. Better than trying EVERYONE.

i sugest trying with 251 individual memory card just incase.

Trackdown virtua striker 3 save file issue

on 181 the game lost the ability to format or creat the first save data but if you already have a save file for the game loading it will work perfectly even on the 203 rev

So something on 181 brooke that game ability to format and do the first save on the memory card but the game isnt froozen since you can do the exit combo.

Hey guys, how do I play a game in the original aspect ratio? I am trying to play twilight princess on the Wii U, and I am launching Nintendont directly from Homebrew Channel.
If I start homebrew channel in 4:3 then Nintendont is in 4:3 until I load a game. The game settings in Nintendont are not forcing widescreen mode.

Does the GameCube version of Twilight Princess support native widescreen?
