Hacking Nintendont

[SifJar]

Except that Classic Controllers are crap for playing GC games with.

If I had one, I'd rather play a GC game with a CC than go out and buy a new controller specifically for that task. It might not be the best possible controller, but it'd be perfectly adequate and I'll always take perfectly adequate and no extra expense over paying for a slightly superior experience.

What about using a wired xbox 360 controller - the usb one for pc- because it has a similar layout to a gamecube controller?.

It's not a slightly superior expense.

CC controller with Analog shoulder buttons is still better than a CC Pro, or a Wii U Controller Pro which have digital shoulder buttons, which IMO are unacceptable as controllers for GC. I need analog buttons dammit! I recently purchased a GC platinum wavebird off ebay $15 new. Worked great, I can only imagine a wired GC would cost less, not a very expensive investment for a comfortable and superior gaming experience.

IIRC the 360 pad is not HID complient

Yes, they need specific drivers.

Can anyone help me out on this one? I have the mayflash gamecube to USB adapter with the dual ports.

I'm using the homebrew app HIDTestv4 to see if it will be compatible with nintendon't. The app says to press buttons and if the values change, then the device will be compatible. I've tried pressing buttons with he gamecube controller plugged into either port on the adapter, but I can't get any values to change. I would normally assume that the adapter is simply not compatible, but crediar himself says that he has confirmed that it works via twitter. - https://twitter.com/crediar/status/353622246591438849.

So I can't help but thinking that I'm doing something wrong.

The only difference (besides probably being coded quite differently I'm sure) is that this will not have Devolution's anti piracy disk-verification system, which requires owning both a Wii and the Gamecube games you are trying to play?

And having the discs in working order, and your wii's drive still working at all.

what's interesting is that it has always been told that it's impossible to do it, and it can in fact be done from multiple ways.

Well, when most people ask, they're not asking "Would this be possible maybe theoretically in a few years?", they're asking "Can I do it now because somebody else did the work for me?"

xbox360 controller isn't compatible at all?

 

[spotanjo3]

Which is better: Devolution or Nintendont ? I know that Nintendon't isn't released yet.

P.S. Wait a minute.. Devolution is for Wii only.. Not for Wii U through vWii, right ?

Devolution now works on wiiu vwii as well. You will still need a wii to authenticate the backups on your harddisk.
I believe one of the major differences will be that Devolution can use a classic controller (connected to a wiimote)
and Nintendont will use usb controllers like the ps3 ones.
Devolution also needs you to use the same wiimote on your wii and wiiu as it's used in the authentication proces.

 

[spotanjo3]

Good information. Thank you for replying asap.

Devolution also supports use of the PS3 controller, both over USB (i.e. wired) and bluetooth (i.e. wireless), however Nintendont should in theory support any USB HID controller (i.e. most "generic" USB game controllers; ones that don't require drivers to work), including GC pads connected with a USB adapter (but not bluetooth pads; PS3 controllers will need to be connected via USB AFAIK).

Devolution also works with the WiiU Pro Controller, as well as CC with a wiimote.

Both also support using original GC controllers on Wii models with the GC ports, but that's probably not relevant here seeing as WiiU was mentioned.

So we won't be able to use Wii U pro controller with nintendont?

 

[SifJar]

Nope. Only USB controllers and official GC controllers on backwards compatible Wii units.

 

[Bryon15]

Nope. Only USB controllers and official GC controllers on backwards compatible Wii units.

Well that's disappointing. PS3 controller is horrible for playing gamecube games.

 

[flame6753]

Im sure everything will work out in the end. for example they could come out with a hid compliant device that syncs with like 4 different other controllers

 

[Skeet1983]

I didn't know if these were asked or not: Can the Classic Controller work with this and also can or possibly in future use cheats?

 

[MassiveRican]

Use cheats possibly, use Classic Controller, has been stated most definitely not. It will not use a bluetooth stack like Devolution, it will support USB HID compliant USB adapters unlike Devo, so they're kinda like the opposite of each other in that sense. The opening post has most of this info, you should give it a second read it will give you more insight. They keep it fairly up to date.

I didn't know Devolution was ported to the Wii U, but man is this a lot of work for something so minor as AS app for games that are no longer even being sold/made, hurry up Crediar and release Nintendont already so that I'd be ready once I upgrade to the U (when more interesting games come out, I'm sorry but NSMBU and MK8 just don't cut it for me).
