Hacking Nintendont

[Txustra]

I tried yesterday and couldn't get passed the title screen on tales of symphonia. In the earlier revision the game was playable.

Adeka, could you send me that revision of CFG USB Loader that allows to play via Nintendont?

Windows is bitchy about HDD's. When you plug it in, don't open up Windows Explorer. Run this from Command Prompt

chkdsk F: /F /V /R /B

Replace "F:" with the drive letter of your USB HDD if it's different.

PS: This may take an hour or more to run, depending on the size of your HDD.

I have a Western Digital 160gb (runs full 149gb)

1st Partition (G: ) : FAT32 (32k cluster) to load games on Nintendont USB
2nd Partition (U: ) : I have WBFS to run Wii backups on USB Loaders

On my PC works fine, but doesn't running since today on Wii or Wii U anymore.. :c

Why do you have 2 partitions? Wii games can run on fat32 partitions

can i have the same partition to gc and wii games together? to erase the another partition anyways will be useless.

 

[Adeka]

yes. Wii games must be in wbfs format.

Wii games go in /wbfs/

gamecube games go in /games/gameid/game.iso

Edit: The drive must be in fat32 format

I'm pretty sure you have to have just a fat32 partition no other partitions.

No it isn't. Playing Wind Waker on 0x21 Hollywood Wii without any problems with mc emu on.
I double-checked it. It is NTSC version.

BTW, is there any way to help to make games like Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 work?

How do you configure your joystick? My gamepad doesn't work in the game, but in the HID Test works very fine. By the way, i can't pass the "Press Start" Screen

Use wbfs2fat.py (google it) to convert it, then use a parition manager (try Easeus) to merge them.

You should still run what I said though.

i formatted all HDD to fat32 (not on wbfs2fat.py) and still blinking.

Well that was dumb. You could have converted it without deleting anything if you had followed my directions.

Is it plugged into the port farthest from the edge of your Wii U?

I dunno. I have a Y-USB cable; on the upper back, and the twin one with an extension to the front port; and the lower back port i have my HID controller.

Swap the positions of the two ends of your Y-USB cable. Only one transfers data, the other is for power.

I disconnected and re-connected HDD before and works again... no swap necesary

I want to connect my HID controller on front ports again on r58

Without autoboot, Nintendont can't autoboot from any type of USB Loader, cfgusbloader, wiiflow, etc. so Nintendont Loader doesn't detect SSBM!

I never have any problem getting SSBM to show up in the game list. And if you can use an usb loader to load it anyways, what's the problem?

Nintendont on recent revision doesn't detect any SSBM game on loader... but no worries, actually i'm using USB Loader GX r1218 mod05

 

[faku1810]

I'm always using the latest revision and as long as the folder structure is fine and the games are "game.iso" it will find them. Your problem must be for some other reason, but if using a usb loader is enough for you to play that game then it's fine.

It's still happening with MaxPads set to 1, when using GC Controller.
It works fine with HID/PS3 controller.

r59
Fix Tales of Symphonia always up when using GC Pad.

I'm not real confident this change won't break other games controls with the GCPad.
Also, seeing how PADStatus.err is only s8 (see global.h), we should probably replace this line in SIGetType.S

lwz    %r5,    8(%r4)

with

lbz    %r5,    9(%r4)

or

lbz    %r5,    10(%r4)

but I'm too tired tonight to think about endianess.
